'Emotional Roller Coaster' For Mom Of Missing Legislative Candidate

BALDWIN, NY — Nassau County Legislative candidate Petros Krommidas is still missing. He hasn't been seen for nearly three weeks since he was swimming in Long Beach on April 23. But his mother Maria is trying to stay positive.

"This past week has been an emotional roller coaster—filled with moments of despair and glances of hope," she wrote Saturday on Facebook.

There has been no sign of her son since police discovered his clothing and car near the Long Beach boardwalk early on in the search.

"Nights have been difficult, feeling physically and emotionally drained by exhaustion.
But mornings are full of hope and confidence of finding my boy," she wrote.

His mother remains hopeful that "this nightmare will end, and Petey will come home."

Krommidas graduated from Chaminade High School and lives in Baldwin.
