During the search, the missing Usoltsev family was searched in the cave. RT reported this.
Investigators turned their attention to the caves near where the disappearance occurred. Maybe Sergei, Irina and their five-year-old daughter could go into one of them to hide from wild animals. It's also possible that they accidentally fell there without realizing it in the dark.
During the search, experts faced a lack of data on the location of the caves.
“Unfortunately, the maps of the caves are old – from the 1960s and 1980s. There are no geographical coordinates, all directions are approximate,” the publication reports.
Search participants checked two caves but did not find the family.
In a conversation with RT, cave researcher Artem Barinov said it was impossible to accidentally fall into both surveyed caves.
The Usoltsev family disappeared during a mountain climbing trip last September. Experts and volunteers organized a search, the active phase of which ended on October 12. The family could not be found.
Before that, experienced hiker Kulesh told his version of the disappearance of the Usoltsevs.
