State Dept Has No Confirmation of Citizenship of Boys Killed in Washington
WASHINGTON (Sputnik), Anastasia Levchenko — Russian Consulate General in Seattle has not yet found the names of allegedly Russian boys killed in the US state of Washington in the database, Consul General Andrey Yushmanov told Sputnik on Saturday.

"We are checking the information we have on the names, surnames and dates of birth [Quinn and Tory Carlson]. We are checking in our database. So far, no matches were found."

"We have now sent our employees to the town where it happened so that they could in the Sheriffs's office see some documents, on the basis of which we could make a conclusion considering their nationality," Yushmanov said.

Andrey Yushmanov also noted that the two boys could have been re-adopted.

"Of course, what adds to the complexity [of the investigation] is the fact that, according to our operational information, the children could have been re-adopted. Accordingly, we can not exclude the possibility that this surname — Carlson — is not the surname under which they were adopted," Yushmanov said.
