Jan. 29, 2019 Staff Report

A 63-year-old woman from Ridgewood who went missing earlier this month has been found.

Nina Zykova, a Gates Avenue resident who went missing on Jan. 11, was accounted for on Jan. 20, an NYPD spokesperson said today.

Zykova was last seen at the Hawthrone Metro-North railroad station in Westchester at around 6:45 p.m. on Jan. 11.

Police had erroneously announced, however, that it was seeking the public’s help in locating Zykova on Jan. 21, and said the following day that Zykova had still not been accounted for.
