Off The Record
A 20-Tear-Old Missing Model Was Discovered At The Side Of The Road With “Broken Spine And Shattered Limbs,” Prompting Police To Provide A Significant Update
A lot of new information has been released about the case of 20-year-old model Maria Kovalchuk, who was mysteriously missing for 10 days and was later found badly hurt on the side of a Dubai road earlier this month.
“Mary Lu” is Maria’s Instagram name. On March 9, she disappeared after telling her friends she was going to a hotel party.
Before she disappeared, she is said to have told her mother, Anna Kovalchuk, that she was living with two men who said they were modeling agents. A few days later, she was supposed to fly to Thailand, but she never got on the plane, which made her family and friends worried.
Maria was found dazed and bloody next to a road in Dubai on March 19. She had terrible injuries, including a broken spine and broken limbs. Shot and Life, two Russian news sites, said that she had been “dumped” there. She was taken to the hospital right away because her situation was so bad, and she had four surgeries that saved her life.
People says that Ukrainian police have stated that they have started an investigation into trafficking in people.
Earlier this week, Maria’s mom gave a report on how her daughter was doing.
“She is getting medical treatment and everything will be all right,” her mother Anna posted on social media, after flying from Norway to be with her daughter. But the full picture of what happened remains murky — and deeply disturbing.
Maria reportedly had no phone, no identification, and was unable to speak after being found. “Maria was eventually found in hospital in serious condition. She has no documents, no phone, nothing. She underwent three, now four, operations. And she cannot speak,” Anna wrote.
Dubai Police later issued a statement saying the model sustained her injuries after entering a “restricted construction site” alone and falling “from a height”.
They added: “A comprehensive investigation has revealed that she sustained serious injuries after entering a restricted construction site alone and falling from a height.”
The police confirmed her hospitalization and noted, “Dubai Police continue to work closely with the family and relevant authorities to provide all necessary assistance.” They also urged the public and media “to refrain from sharing unverified information and to respect the privacy of the individual and her family during this challenging time.”
This story, on the other hand, has been shot down by Maria’s family, but mom Anna told reporters, “She cannot comment because of the investigation.”
As doubts about the official account of events grew, the Ukrainian government stepped in.
According to The Daily Mail, on March 29, the National Police of Ukraine announced a “pre-trial investigation” into possible human trafficking. This was especially the main investigation department of the Lviv region, which is where Maria is from. No one has been named as a suspect, and the Consulate of Ukraine in Dubai has not yet replied to the outlet’s pleas for comment.
There is also more talk about a possible link to the disturbing “Porta Potty” parties, which are said to be attended by influential and rich men in the Middle East. It is said that these events will include horrible abuse and humiliation.
“The model was found dying on the side of the road in the UAE after a party with Arab sheiks,” lawyer Katya Gordon told The Sun. This shows how dangerous it can be.
“The scandal with the Porta Potty parties has been raging for over a year. There are videos circulating on the internet where sheiks allegedly beat girls, cut their hair and do all sorts of other things to them. Girls, women, and their mothers! Don’t go to such events for money—you could even get killed.”
People all over the world are very upset about Maria’s story, which shows how young models and leaders can be exploited abroad. There are still many unanswered questions about what happened to Maria between March 9 and March 19. Police probes are still going on in both Ukraine and Dubai.
“There is an assumption that she went to a party,” Anna said. “But the promoter who organized these parties did not see her.”
“Maria was eventually found in a hospital in serious condition. She has no documents, no phone, nothing. She underwent three, now four, operations. And she cannot speak.”
Even though the model hasn’t shared on social media since February, her Instagram account is still full of well wishes. She is still in stable condition for now while the probes go on.
