Why It Matters
The Usoltsev family went on a hike to Mount Buratinka on September 28, 2025 and did not return. Subsequent search expeditions, including a major search in June, yielded no results.
The Usoltsev family - Sergei, Irina and their five-year-old daughter - disappeared near the village of Kuturchin in the Krasnoyarsk Territory a year ago - September 28, 2025: they went on a hike to Mount Buratinka and did not return. They also had a corgi dog with them. The last large-scale search for the Usoltsev family was carried out in June. Now the investigation is considering an accident as a priority, but does not rule out criminality.
“Several search expeditions did not produce results - no traces or remains were found. If for some reason the family still remained in the taiga, then they had practically no chance of surviving the winter. There is very little chance of finding the remains of the Usoltsevs, since too much time has passed,” Solovyov told RIA Novosti.
According to him, according to the practice of search engines, if they were not found in the first hours or days after the loss, then further chances are sharply reduced.
Open Questions
