Alexey Kulesh, a deputy of the Legislative Assembly of Krasnoyarsk Krai and an experienced tourist, told journalists in an interview that he plans to go with a group of taiga explorers to Mount Buratinka, where the Usoltsev family mysteriously disappeared. At the start of the route, only their car was found.
Consensus
- The Usolevs family—Sergey, Irina, and their daughter Arina—disappeared during a one-day hike to Mount Buratinka in Krasnoyarsk Krai.
- Their car was found at the start of the route, but no personal belongings or signs of their presence were discovered in the area.
- The group of taiga hikers, led by Alexey Kulesh, is retracing the same path to assess terrain conditions and evaluate possible causes of disappearance.
- The search for the family is considered ineffective at this stage due to the challenging landscape and lack of evidence.
- Kuturchin White Mountains are described as having steep elevation changes, rock fissures, and karst cavities that can act as natural traps.
