The girl posted her last photo on social media on November 18, 2024, from Turkey. After that, she went to Belarus — that’s probably when she was detained. She hasn’t appeared online on Telegram for a long time, and her social media has been inactive since November. The girl is probably now in a pretrial detention center.

After graduating from MSLU, Veronica worked for three years as a flight attendant at Qatar Airways. Veronica's other passion is modeling and acting.

In mid-August 2025, information appeared that Veronica was already at large. She posted a photo from the Philippines.
