According to his relative Emir Medetov, the man was found on the evening of February 17, 2026. Although his condition is generally satisfactory, it turned out that he had not eaten, which significantly affected his health.
Turmush previously reported that Myktybek left his home in the village of Shabdan on February 12 around 6:30 PM, and since then his whereabouts had remained unknown.
The family of the missing person shared information about his health: in childhood, Myktybek suffered a serious injury, which left his mental development at the level of a 6–7-year-old child. He lived with his older brother.
Thanks to active posts on social media, it was possible to trace Myktybek's approximate route. Around midnight on February 12, he was spotted by witnesses in the Boom Gorge. A group of young people offered him help and gave him a ride to the train station in Balakchy.
At that time, Myktybek informed the driver that he was heading to the village of Ananyevo, where his other relatives live, but he never arrived there.
Additionally, there were reports of a similar person being seen in Karakol (relatives went to check and reviewed the cameras, but so far without success) and in the Jeti-Oguz district.
At the time of his disappearance, Myktybek was dressed in work clothes, which he usually wore while taking care of livestock. An official report regarding his disappearance was filed with the police.
