Anastasiya Stangret

Anastasiya Stangret was 22 years old when her life was taken on June 23, 2024. Though the public record is largely shaped by the tragedy of her death, available information and family accounts make clear that she was a daughter and sister who mattered deeply to her family.

Family members have described Anastasiya as someone who kept close connections with her mother and sister. In the months before she disappeared, her family was in frequent contact, making plans together and marking family occasions like her mother’s birthday on June 18. Those ordinary interactions — calls, plans, shared days — are the small, human details that define a life and the relationships that remain after a person is gone.

Friends and relatives told reporters that Anastasiya struggled in recent months with opioid addiction, a painful reality that shaped parts of her life but did not erase who she was to those closest to her. Her sister, Dasha, has spoken about Anastasiya in ways that show grief and a longing to preserve memory: for the person behind the headlines, for the conversations and shared time that now exist only in recollection.

Neighbors and community members in Frankford and surrounding neighborhoods recall the area where she was last seen and where her remains were later discovered. Those locations are part of the factual record, but they do not define the whole of Anastasiya’s life. She was a young woman with hopes, family ties, and a place within a community that has been left to mourn.

As family and detectives continue to seek answers, the central remembrance of Anastasiya rests in the relationships she carried — a mother who waited for her voice, a sister who speaks of her with trembling, and relatives who continue to look for justice and understanding. Her life mattered to people who loved her, and those bonds endure beyond the limits of public reporting.

If you knew Anastasiya or have information that could help her family and investigators, local authorities and community outlets have asked that tips be shared with Philadelphia police. In the meantime, this brief life story honors the human being behind the name — a young woman remembered for her connections to family and the ordinary moments that made up her days.
