18-year-old beauty queen Ania Czopinski, living in England, has been missing for a week. The young girl was last seen on November 11 at Krakow John Paul II Airport in Poland, captured by security cameras. Despite being of Polish descent, Ania has never visited the country and does not speak Polish, which has raised concerns for her family. In the security camera footage, Ania is seen walking through the airport with her suitcase, wearing gray ripped jeans and a black jacket. The police stated that the young girl was traveling without a passport or phone. Approximately 165 cm tall, slender, and with long dark blonde hair, Ania had reached the semifinals of the Young British Beauty contest this year. This is not Ania's first disappearance. Last August, her family was also worried when she did not return home from the Leeds Festival. At that time, Ania had gone missing while trying to hitchhike back to her home in Whitley Bay, but she was found a few days later. Her father, Stephen Czopinski, who is concerned for his daughter's safety, emotionally recounted their last conversations: "The last time I saw her, I kissed her on the forehead as she was going to work, just like usual. She usually pushes me away, but that day she hugged me and said, 'I love you, Dad.' Now we don't know where she is, and we are very worried." Polish and British police are working together to find Ania.
