What started as a luxurious vacation full of business opportunities ended in a life-changing tragedy for Maria Kovalchuk, a Ukrainian model who was found near-lifeless beside a road in Dubai yesterday (March 19).
The 20-year-old had been missing for ten days after informing friends and family that she was invited to a hotel party by two men claiming to be representatives of the modeling industry on March 9.
A search was launched by local authorities on March 11, when the model failed to show up for a scheduled flight to Thailand, sparking concern among her loved ones.
