Big story 530.
Ten years later and a family is finally getting some
answers.
Ketcha Belaya would left for the store back in September
2014 and that was the last time she was seen.
So for the past 10 years, her daughters have been
posting on social media trying to find any information on
their mother's whereabouts.
Those posts got the attention of a missing persons group
that helped find Belaya's remains.
Tonight, FOX35's Randy Hildreth is hearing from the victim's daughter,
who says she's still in shock.
It wasn't like a norm for her to just kind
of go and disappear for a couple days or anything
like that.
It's a mystery they've been trying to solve for 10
years.
Katya Belaya disappeared in September 2014.
I think we all just went into a state of
shock.
Sanya Belaya was 20 years old when her mom disappeared.
Her sister Sasha was just 15.
They've been wondering what happened.
Katia told her kids she was going to the store.
She was a very like loving mother.
She loved her daughters very much.
Really put us above anything else in her life.
She got into her minivan and was never seen again.
I remember expecting a call and, and finding her or
her showing up, you know, or, or something like that.
Until now.
This is probably one of the most heartbreaking cases that
we've ever worked and it is extremely rewarding for us
to be able to provide these families with answers.
A team with Sunshine State Sonar heard about Belias case
back in August.
It was brought to our attention some of the social
media postings that her daughters have made throughout the years.
We looked at those postings, they were touching.
We were moved by it and our team got together
and said we have to help this family out.
Within months, Mike Sullivan and his team had new information
from the Brevard County Sheriff's Office cell phone ping data
from that evening.
And that is ultimately what led us to that particular
area where we located her vehicle.
Her vehicle was located just 1.6 miles from her home.
It was 24 feet deep in a retention pond right
on Viera Blvd.
The vehicle was upside down.
The teen found her minivan and inside was Belia's body.
We're we're in complete shock just at this moment that
1010 years and 84 days later that she was found
less than two miles from where we grew up.
Katia's three daughters say the discovery gives closure in some
ways, but now creates more questions about how their mom
ended there.
I think there's just a lot of big questions around
how it ended up underwater, how did it end up
upside down, which is also strange, you know, And it's,
it's difficult to not let your mind wander.
