Yale and New Haven police are searching for a missing university employee, Anton Sovetov, and seek the public’s help.
Sovetov, 44, a graphic designer who lives in New Haven and works in the Yale Office of Public Affairs & Communications (OPAC), has been missing since approximately Friday, Feb. 4, when he was last in touch with colleagues, Yale Police Chief Ronnell Higgins said Thursday in a public message.
Higgins said anyone with information that could aid the investigation should contact Yale Police at 203-432-4400 or New Haven Police at 203-946-6316, or send an anonymous text tip through the LiveSafe app.

YPD and NHPD have been working tirelessly with counterparts in other agencies to generate and pursue leads in this missing person case.
Sovetov, a 2016 graduate of the Yale School of Art, joined the university staff in 2017.
