The son of the Usoltsev family who disappeared in the taiga said that he is not conducting an independent search

The Usoltsev family disappeared near the village of Kuturchin on September 28, 2025.

Danil Batalov said that he is not conducting an independent search for the Usoltsev family, as he is sure that they are not in the village of Kuturchin.

The investigation is considering the version of an accident as a priority, but does not exclude crime.

KRASNOYARSK, September 27 - RIA Novosti. The son of Irina Usoltseva, who disappeared in the Krasnoyarsk taiga almost a year ago, together with her husband and daughter, Irina Usoltseva, Danil Batalov, told RIA Novosti that he is not independently searching for the family, because they are not in the village of Kuturchin.

The Usoltsev family - Sergei, Irina and their five-year-old daughter - disappeared near the village of Kuturchin almost a year ago - on September 28, 2025: they went on a hike to Mount Buratinka and did not return. They also had a corgi dog with them.

“What steps can be taken to search on your own? The only option is to just wait and not hang your nose. In general, I am sure that they are not on Kuturchin. Both with logic and heart,” Batalov said, answering the question of whether he is taking any steps for an independent search.
