Peter, the post I copied over from you, above, did they ever find the hostages?

Going through the Beslan Mothers website, I found memorial notices or descriptions of the deaths of Ilona Sabeyeva, Kristina Goloyeva, Zlata Aziyeva, Alina Tokova, and Alana Loloyeva.
On Wikipedia, they also appear on the list of casualties. Also from Wikipedia:
"Approximately 365 were killed during the crisis of those were 344 hostages. Out of 62 teachers, 22 were killed... 10 Russian special forces (Spetsnaz) and 2 medics were also killed during the crisis."
The old list on http://www.beslan.ru/mainlist.html is a dead link.

This "unofficial list" on News.ru http://www.newsru.com/russia/17Sep2004/spisok.html hasn't been updated since 9/17/2004, and still lists all of them as "ne naiden" (not found) or "net dannyx" (no data).

That list contains 1345 names, and Alana Alanovna Loloyeva (age 10) is ABSENT. There is an Alana Umatovna Galayeva (age 13) listed as killed, but I don't think they are the same.

This site http://newizv.ru/fotoreport/?f_id=11 still lists Sabeyeva and Loloyeva as missing, but I don't know how old it is, or when last updated.

Difficult to keep dry eyes when reading those lists, even after all these years.
