Mystery deepens as missing Long Island Democrat candidate Petros Krommidas' clothes and car are found on beach
Police are continuing their desperate search for a missing New York Democrat candidate after his clothes and car were mysteriously found on the beach. Petros Krommidas, 29, was last seen on Wednesday, just two days after attending the Nassau County Young Democrats monthly meeting. He is running for Nassau County Legislator in the fourth district and served as a party organizer since December. Nassau County Police said he was last seen in Baldwin at 9 p.m. ET and was reported missing on Thursday at 7:35 p.m. Krommidas' car was found parked near the Allegria Hotel on the Long Beach boardwalk, and his clothing was found on the beach, reported Newsday. His mother, Maria, shared on Facebook that the aspiring politician was training for a triathlon and went for a late-night workout on the beach. 'He locked his car, took a towel, and around 10:30 p.m. walked onto the beach to exercise, just as he had done many times before,' she said. 'He has always been in great shape and was training for a triathlon. He was not a stranger to cold water training.' However, when no one heard from him the next day, the family reported him missing because 'it is completely out of character for him not to respond.' 'On Thursday, April 24, the police found his towel, clothes and phone left on the beach. Since then, search efforts have been ongoing, but we need the public's help,' Maria said. The Krommidas family has arranged search parties to walk the beaches between Long Beach, Lido Beach and Jacob Riis Park during high tide over the coming days. Police said he was last seen wearing a camouflage print sweatshirt and gray sweatpants. He is described as a white male, six feet two inches tall, 230 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. His sister, Eleni, shared a desperate plea on Facebook for anyone with information about his whereabouts to come forward. 'My brother is missing, and we are deeply worried,' she said. 'Please share this post and help us spread the word—any information could make a difference. Thank you for your support during this incredibly difficult time.' Krommidas started as a Democratic Party Clerk in 2024 after several years working in finance for Morgan Stanley, TPG and Sageview Capital. He graduated from Columbia University in 2017 - where he was a member of the rowing team - with a Bachelor's degree in history and business management, according to his LinkedIn. On April 21, he attended the Young Democrats meeting with Town of Hempstead Supervisor candidate Joe Scianablo. 'Thank you to the Nassau County Young Democrats for having me—always great to be with such a thoughtful, engaged group committed to making a difference in our community,' Krommidas said on Facebook after the event. Nassau County Democratic Committee Chairman Jay Jacobs shared a statement on Krommidas' disappearance with News 12. 'We are heartbroken over the disappearance of Petros Krommidas,' Jacobs said. 'Petros is a bright, driven young man who has been a strong voice for Democratic values. 'He is well respected by the community and represents the very best of our next generation of leaders. We are keeping Petros and his family in our prayers and remain hopeful for his safe return.'
