A grieving mother, Marina, reflects on the disappearance of her son, Roman Mussabekov, who vanished eight years ago on May 15th during a trip to Antigua.

Despite Roman’s typical openness with his family, he left for the trip without informing them of his plans.

Nine months later, they learned through Interpol that he had been in Antigua, leaving them with lingering questions about his motives and fate.

    So many moms are in this ladys position. Cant find her son. Some cant find their daughters. Closure will come for some people when Jesus returns. Until then, go through

    This is becoming all too common of ppl going missing in this little twin island of Antigua and Barbuda.

  • Juju Bee May 16, 2025, 11:13 AM

    The fact that he didn’t inform them of where he was going says a lot

    Stand in or join the line, grieving mother, with the weeping list of grieving Antiguan mothers, fathers, children, spouses/partners, immediate family circles of similar missing persons. Do understand this! Your grief is no greater than theirs/ours. Let us pray for each other and continue to demand that those hiding among us who KNOW something will SAY something!!!!

  • Randy May 15, 2025, 9:27 PM

    He didn’t even tell his parents where he went. She said this is not something he would have done. Nahhh somethings not adding up. Then he gives a wrong name to taxi driver. Homeboy was up to something secretive

    He probably was involved in something shady.

    Looking for closure in Antigua? From our Police Force? Please inform her that we are still waiting on closure for Orden. For Keon. For many other young person who’s missing to date….

    He ran away from home and come to Antigua. Who said he didn’t just go to another country? Mommy, I understand your pain. But hearing this story, it would leave anybody to believe that this young man wanted to live a new life. Something like Joe Goldberg. Change his name and start a new life
