“I’m just at a loss,” Christie Zukor told Patch on Monday, March 23.

Her daughter—Marina Zukor, 20—was last seen Sunday, March 15.

Christie and Ken Zukor adopted Marina from Russia in 2011, and in recent years, she has been in and out of treatment programs for post-traumatic stress, bipolar and mood disorders, her mother said.

For the past two months, Marina was living in Cockeysville as part of the Mosaic Transitional Aged Youth Program, where she was learning to function in the world outside of a hospital setting.

Sometime between 5 and 8 p.m. on Sunday, March 15, Marina disappeared from the parking lot of the Rossbrooke Apartments off Cranbrook Road in Cockeysville, near the building where she was living in the Mosaic program.

A young man in the Rossbrooke parking lot said she used a stranger’s cell phone, then a sedan with dark tinted windows picked her up, according to her mother, who has since started a Facebook page to try to find her daughter.

Marina has a life-threatening condition that requires regular medication. The last time she took her medication was March 15, according to her mother. She has no phone, no extra clothing and no money.

“She’s not feeling well, I would imagine,” Christie Zukor told Patch. “My hope is she ends up in an ER somewhere.”

While Marina is 20 years old, she has the mentality of a 12-year-old as the result of her various health conditions, according to her mother.

“She’s very vulnerable,” Zukar said.

Marina had been enrolled at Parkville High School since mid January in the English as a Second Language program, where her mother said she was classified as a freshman.

School officials told the family that Marina had not been to school at all last week, Christie Zukor said.

Marina has a thick Russian accent, is 5’3” and weighs 130 pounds. She has shoulder-length brown hair and a scar on her left cheek.

When last seen, Marina was wearing a gray sweater dress, yellow fleece, black coat, gray leggings and black boots.

Anyone with information regarding Marina’s whereabouts may leave a comment on the ”Find Marina Zukor” Facebook page.
