Spouses Irina and Sergei Usoltsev and their 5-year-old daughter disappeared at the end of September in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. They went hiking and stopped communicating. On October 12, it was announced that the active search phase had ended.
The Internet is actively discussing the possibility of Usoltsev fleeing abroad. Some people claim to have seen the missing family in Thailand and the US. The Usoltsevs' son believes that the family may have gone to Mongolia and from there to Kazakhstan.
However, another version of what happened has emerged. Unexpected flashes of light on the Sun may have played a deadly role in the family's mysterious disappearance. As he said in conversation with Lenta.ru An expert in the study of the circumstances of the death of Igor Dyatlov's group, Evgeny Buyanov, such cases did occur.
Experts recounted that the tragedy at Dyatlov Pass also occurred during a period of unusually high solar activity. And in general, statistics show that during years of peak solar activity, the average frequency of emergency situations in mountainous areas can double.
“This factor is very strong. It collides with this unstable state of the environment and people. In Usoltsev's case, the peak of solar activity can act together with many other factors. People's psychology is disturbed at this time,” the expert noted.
Meanwhile, the head of the regional headquarters of the Investigative Committee in the Krasnoyarsk and Khakassia Territories, Alexey Eremin, told that the Usoltsev family may have become victims of a crime. Security forces are checking this version. He pointed out that the main version of the disappearance of the Usoltsev family remains an accident, but investigators are also examining other versions, including the criminal one. Search operations and witness questioning continue in the area.
