Operations shift to targeted missions by certified rescuers in treacherous terrain near the last phone ping.

Overview

  • LizaAlert said the mass phase and on-site headquarters end the evening of October 12, with certified teams receiving precise assignments from a remote coordinator.
  • Access is limited to volunteers with alpine and mountain-touring training, proper equipment including crampons and overnight capability, with legal firearms permitted for safety.
  • Cartographers recorded the father’s phone signal on September 28 about seven kilometers from the settlement of Kuturchin in a sector that had not been fully checked.
  • Experienced alpinists and speleologists are examining scree fields and caves within the grid where the signal was detected.
  • A criminal case into the disappearance is underway; investigators found no camping gear in the family car, noted the trio was lightly dressed, and cited witnesses who saw them begin the route.
