Missing Political Candidate: Petros Krommidas -- Urgent Search Amidst Mysterious Disappearance

"Keep spreading the word," admonishes Whitney Sich, the motivated Florida mother behind A Voice for the Voiceless, a nonprofit advocating for missing persons cases, both stateside and in Canada. "It could be you, so please share the info."

Authorities in Nassau County, New York are on a quest to locate Petros Krommidas, a 29-year-old Democratic political hopeful and field organizer who vanished last Thursday. Their last confirmed sighting of him was on Long Island.

According to a police press release, Krommidas was last spotted in Baldwin, clad in camouflage sportswear and gray sweatpants. Police have reason to believe he's situates somewhere in the Long Beach area.

In a heartfelt social media post, individuals identified as members of Krommidas' family requested the public's assistance in locating him. They cited that personal belongings of his were retrieved from the beach on Thursday.

The post elaborates that on April 23, Krommidas parked his vehicle near the Allegria Hotel in Long Beach. At approximately 10:30 p.m., he ventured onto the beach for an evening exercise session, much like he'd done countless times before. However, on the following day, authorities found his abandoned towel, clothes, and phone on the beach. Since then, the search efforts have been relentless, but the assistance of the public is crucial to the operation.

Krommidas stands 6 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs approximately 230 pounds. His prior engagements with cold water training and preparations for an upcoming triathlon resonate in the post. Krommidas' LinkedIn profile reveals his extended service with the Nassau County Democratic Party, with a field organizer role for five months, and campaigning as a candidate for Nassau County Legislator in the 4th District. His impressive educational background includes Columbia University, where he boasts Intercollegiate Rowing Association national championship accolades.

County Democratic Chairman Jay Jacobs voiced his sorrow over Krommidas' disappearance. In an interview with NBC 4, Jacobs commended Krommidas' dedication to democracy and expressed hope for his safe return.

Authorities at the Nassau County Police Department were unavailable for comment.
