Local Political Candidate's Disappearance in New York

A candidate for the county legislature in New York has been reported missing for nearly a week, as reported by authorities in Nassau County.

Petros Krommidas, 29, a Democratic hopeful aiming to represent Nassau County's 4th District, vanished on April 23 from Baldwin, NY.

Officials indicate he was last observed dressed in a camouflage hoodie paired with gray jogging pants near Long Beach, NY.

Family's Appeal and Circumstances

Eleni-Lemonia Krommidas, Petros' sister, urged ongoing searches, expressing the family's concern and need to locate him.

According to his loved ones, Krommidas parked at Long Beach's Allegria Hotel, secured his vehicle, took a towel, and proceeded to exercise on the beach, a routine he had before, around 10:30 p.m. on April 23.

Krommidas was noted for being in excellent physical condition and had plans including a triathlon debut. His family emphasized his familiarity with cold water training.

Search Efforts Intensify

He was reported missing the next day, highlighting that it was unlike him to ignore messages. On April 24, the police discovered his towel, clothing, and phone on the beach as confirmed by officials to ABC News.

The ongoing search involves inviting public assistance to explore the shoreline between Long Beach and Jacob Riis Park during high tide.

"Every additional view and step on the sand makes a difference," the family expressed, encouraging community involvement in their search.

Two days prior to going missing, Krommidas was seen at a function for the Young Democrats in Nassau County.

Authorities urge anyone with knowledge concerning Krommidas' location to contact the Missing Persons Squad at 516-573-7347.
