Summary based on the NamUs case record (NC999660146) and 8 other sources
On August 10, 2020, Yulia Olivia Berezow, a female child connected to Woodinville, Washington, was reported missing in a case that public missing-child records identify as an alleged family abduction. Although some summaries have described her by a later listed age, official missing-child information identifies her as having been born on April 21, 2019, meaning she was very young when she was last seen; the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children currently lists her as a 7-year-old missing child from Woodinville, Washington. Her case has remained publicly listed with the missing date of August 10, 2020, and the earliest public facts are spare: a child, a family connection, and a disappearance that crossed from a local Washington community into a broader concern about possible international travel.

Public case information states that Yulia was allegedly abducted by her mother, Anna Czajkowska Braun, and that authorities later issued a felony warrant for custodial interference for Anna on May 23, 2022. NCMEC reports that Anna may also use the first names Anya or Ania and may use the last name Berezow, while other public case summaries also reference the names Czajkowska or Braun. The reported possibility that Yulia and Anna may have traveled to Poland gave the case an international dimension, turning what began as a missing-child report in Washington into a search that could involve information from beyond the United States.

The publicly available descriptions of Yulia emphasize the tenderness of her young age and the importance of recognizing her as a child whose life and safety are at the center of the case. She has been described as a White female child with blond hair and hazel eyes, and public case information notes that she speaks Polish and English. Those personal details matter because they are the human details that help distinguish a child from a case number: a little girl with a name, languages, features, and family ties, whose whereabouts authorities have continued to seek through missing-child channels.

As the case developed, it became tied to court and custody proceedings in Washington. A Washington Courts filing identifies Anna Berezow as Yulia’s mother and states that Yulia was born on April 21, 2019; the same filing references King County Superior Court orders involving custody of the child. While court filings can reflect disputed allegations and the positions of parties in litigation, the public missing-child listings present the law-enforcement-facing summary: Yulia was last seen on August 10, 2020, was allegedly taken by her mother, and a felony custodial-interference warrant was later issued.

The case has also been framed through international missing-person mechanisms. A public case page states that an INTERPOL Yellow Notice was issued for Yulia Olivia Berezow, and INTERPOL explains generally that Yellow Notices are used to help locate missing persons, including children in parental abduction cases, especially where a person may have traveled or been taken abroad. That international context is significant because it reflects the concern that Yulia’s location may not be limited to the area where she was last seen, and that information from travelers, relatives, communities, or officials outside Washington could be relevant.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children continues to direct anyone with information about Yulia Berezow to contact the King County Sheriff’s Office in Washington at 1-206-296-3311, and its public records also include the national missing-child hotline, 1-800-THE-LOST. In overview, Yulia Berezow’s case is the story of a young female child last seen in Woodinville, Washington, on August 10, 2020; public records identify the matter as an alleged parental abduction involving Anna Czajkowska Braun, note a later custodial-interference warrant, and indicate possible travel to Poland, leaving the central concern unchanged: locating Yulia, confirming her safety, and bringing clarity and resolution to a case that has carried years of uncertainty.
