Details of Disappearance
Arkadiy was last seen on January 26, 2005 in Staten Island, New York. He is an avid skateboarder and might be located in popular places frequented by young skateboarders in the Manhattan or Brooklyn areas of New York.

According to Crime Library, "On Tuesday, January 25th, Ark left his Mariner's Harbor home to visit a friend who lived nearby. He was last seen sometime around 2:45 a.m. the next morning when he left for home. Later that morning Ark's parents found an upsetting message he had left beneath a TV remote control. "Sorry about this. No wake, no funeral," it read. Disturbing messages were also found on his computer." He was apparently distraught over the end of a relationship, though family and friends say they doubt he was suicidal. He had no history of depression or running away.
