According to Zurkov’s mother, the family last heard from her in March when she was on Turkey, she said she was fine:
“No government official contacted me, we were not informed of anything. The last time I heard from her was two months ago in Turkey and she said everything was fine and said she was not available because there was no reception. I myself do not understand What’s going on, suddenly the media started talking to me.”
