Investigators Can't Reach Ex-Wife and Son in Case of Missing Krasnoyarsk Family

Investigators now prioritize an accidental loss with exposure as the likely outcome.

Overview

  • Sergey and Irina Usoltsev and their five-year-old daughter disappeared on September 28 near the Buratinka area, and a case under point "a", part 2, Article 105 was opened.
  • Active searches concluded on October 12 after more than 1,500 people took part, with efforts continuing as targeted operations by trained teams.
  • Investigators questioned Irina Usoltseva’s son and Sergey Usoltsev’s two daughters, who are recognized as victims, and they reported no marital conflicts between the couple.
  • Sergey Usoltsev’s ex-wife and their son live abroad with unknown whereabouts and no contacts available, preventing their questioning.
  • The working version points to the family getting lost and succumbing to exposure, and a regional deputy and experienced hiker cites disorienting kurumnik and taiga terrain while calling drowning in the Mana River unlikely.
