In January 1959, a 23-year-old hiker named Igor Alekseyevich Dyatlov led a journey to reach the peak of Otorten, a mountain in the Northern Urals of Soviet Russia. The young man brought a team of eight experienced hikers, many from the Ural Polytechnical Institute, along with him for the adventure.
Before he left, Dyatlov had told his sports club that he and his team would send them a telegram as soon as they returned. But that telegram was never sent and none of the hikers of the so-called Dyatlov Pass Incident were ever seen alive again.
The case however, is now coming to a close with the bureau. The lead agent for the case, Agent Saulter, is now in the final stages of the case where a credible theory will be put forward in the final report before being made available to the public. It is due to be released within the next few weeks and will be available to view or download from this website.
