Known as the lady in red, Vlada Patapov a 25-year-old Ukrainian emerged as one of the most hauntingly iconic figures from the October 7 massacre.

Amidst the chaos at the Nova rave festival, where at least 340 lost their lives and 40 were taken hostage by Hamas gunmen, she was last spotted wearing a red shawl, fear etched on her face.

Alongside numerous terrified festival-goers, she sprinted across the desert seeking safety before ultimately climbing into the back of a car.

For weeks, the world anxiously speculated about her fate—whether she survived or succumbed to the tragedy, here is her story.
