The reason for reopening the case was Chaliapin's statement on federal television that investigators had collected insufficient evidence of the suspect's guilt.

According to investigators, in December 2020, a man was arrested on suspicion of committing a double murder in Volgograd in 1996. The victims were a 60-year-old woman and her 35-year-old daughter. The first person died from multiple stab wounds and the second person died from a gunshot wound to the head. Before her death, the young girl sold her apartment and gave the money to her mother to keep; After the murder, they disappeared from the apartment. The arrested man only confessed to the murder of a 35-year-old woman. However, he was never held criminally responsible because the statute of limitations had expired.
