After the television broadcast, the parents of Anna Tsomartova, who disappeared in Kaspiysk, began receiving calls from fortune tellers and psychics soliciting their services.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," the search for Rostov athlete and North Ossetian native Anna Tsomartova has been ongoing since February 12, 2024. She disappeared in Kaspiysk after losing a tournament and was in a depressed state. According to her mother, investigators have opened a murder case, but a kidnapping is also being considered. On March 24, it was announced that Anna Tsomartova was placed on the international wanted list after an examination confirmed her resemblance to the girl spotted in Dubai. Friends of Rostov athlete Anna Tsomartova described her as level-headed and full of life; her personality traits preclude any suspicion of suicidal tendencies. However, an examination concluded that it was impossible to assess her condition immediately before her disappearance in Kaspiysk.

The family of Anna Tsomartova, who disappeared in Dagestan, complained of pressure and blackmail. After they appeared on a television program, they revealed that shortly before her disappearance, Anna twice spoke with her father about strange topics. Specifically, according to Nikolai Tsomartov, his daughter told him she would buy him a nice car. Another conversation concerned the purchase of an apartment. Invited expert and criminologist Galina Zaporozhtseva expressed the opinion that such conversations could be connected to a desire to drastically change their lives or even recruitment, 161.ru wrote on September 27.

After the broadcast, the Tsomartovs began receiving calls and messages from various fortune tellers and psychics who tried to solicit their services. One of them, after being refused, even stated that they didn't want a child.

Diana Tsomartova also said that she spent a week in Dubai, retraced the steps of the girl in the photograph, and contacted the police and the consulate. Anna was ultimately placed on the wanted list in the UAE by Interpol and local intelligence agencies. The girl's mother reported this on her Telegram channel.

On March 2, 2024, the mother filed a complaint with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan, claiming that the agency's press secretary, Gayana Gariyeva, had spread false information about her daughter's suicide. Diana Tsomartova demanded an investigation and Gariyeva's dismissal. The press secretary of the Dagestan Ministry of Internal Affairs denied the slander charges against Tsomartova.
