The images you are about to see are disturbing. 27 00:02:43,130 --> 00:02:45,170 Close your eyes and try to picture this scene. 28 00:02:46,270 --> 00:02:48,850 Imagine you're going through the snow. 29 00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:52,610 You come across these bodies. 30 00:02:53,170 --> 00:02:59,710 It looks like a murder scene from a super graphic horror movie. 31 00:02:59,990 --> 00:03:02,830 It just keeps getting worse and worse. 32 00:03:04,110 --> 00:03:07,950 The first thing the investigators found were two members of the team lying 33 00:03:07,950 --> 00:03:09,110 underneath a cedar tree. 34 00:03:09,670 --> 00:03:12,650 And neither of them were wearing winter clothes. They were just in their 35 00:03:12,650 --> 00:03:13,650 underwear. 36 00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:18,170 One has burns on his head and foot. There's lots of cuts and bruises on his 37 00:03:18,170 --> 00:03:24,750 body. He has some dried blood on his face and also strange grey foam 38 00:03:24,750 --> 00:03:27,110 is found on his cheek. 39 00:03:27,830 --> 00:03:30,290 It looks like this could be foul play. 40 00:03:30,850 --> 00:03:33,270 The second body has similar cuts and bruises. 41 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,100 He's missing the tip of his nose and his knuckles are bruised and swollen. 42 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,200 It's a very strange scene. 43 00:03:40,020 --> 00:03:43,020 Several yards away, another body. 44 00:03:45,820 --> 00:03:50,200 This third body is found lying face up in the snow. He's hugging a branch. 45 00:03:50,540 --> 00:03:55,080 He also has cuts and bruises on his knuckles and dried blood on his face. 46 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,160 And he's facing back towards the tent, suggesting he's trying to make a 47 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,680 desperate attempt to return. 48 00:04:03,530 --> 00:04:07,870 So naturally, the skiers rush to report this and a bigger search party is put 49 00:04:07,870 --> 00:04:08,870 together. 50 00:04:09,430 --> 00:04:13,850 And this bigger search party starts combing the area to try to find clues as 51 00:04:13,850 --> 00:04:15,390 what happened to these three men. 52 00:04:15,770 --> 00:04:19,649 But before they can figure that out, several more bodies turn up. 53 00:04:20,670 --> 00:04:22,970 Next, they discover a young woman. 54 00:04:24,610 --> 00:04:30,090 She has a lot of bruises on her face and her hair is in disarray. 55 00:04:30,830 --> 00:04:31,990 She has this... 56 00:04:32,300 --> 00:04:37,460 Long red bruise on the side of her torso. And on top of that, her fists are 57 00:04:37,460 --> 00:04:41,560 clenched. So it looks like maybe there was some sort of scuffle, some sort of 58 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,560 fight that might have went down. 59 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,040 You also have to remember, this is Siberia. You've got freezing 60 00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:48,660 You've got blinding snow. 61 00:04:49,380 --> 00:04:53,840 So all this work that the search party is trying to do to locate all of this 62 00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:58,000 evidence make the work very, very slow and very, very difficult to perform. 63 00:04:59,060 --> 00:05:00,060 After a week. 64 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,420 A fifth corpse is found further up the slope. 65 00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:09,420 It's another young male victim, and this one has a fractured skull. 66 00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:13,300 Perhaps more evidence that there was some violent altercation. 67 00:05:13,980 --> 00:05:18,240 What's interesting about this victim is he had one sock on one foot and a felt 68 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,400 boot on the other, suggesting something took him by surprise. 69 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,040 Six weeks later, as the snow starts to melt, the mystery deepens. 70 00:05:28,780 --> 00:05:33,860 Members of the Mansi, a local indigenous tribe, approach the police and lead 71 00:05:33,860 --> 00:05:39,780 them to a makeshift snow shelter, 250 feet from where the first two bodies 72 00:05:39,780 --> 00:05:40,780 found. 73 00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:46,480 These searchers, they start to dig below the surface, and they find this snow 74 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:51,080 dent with these branches all lined up next to each other, forming some type of 75 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,680 floor. Additionally, they're also finding some torn pieces of clothing. 76 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,040 There's a pair of sweatpants. 77 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:04,320 with the right leg just cut off completely. Likewise, there's also only 78 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,240 half of a woman's sweater. 79 00:06:06,580 --> 00:06:10,680 So there's more and more evidence that's starting to build that something 80 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,460 violent may have happened here. 81 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,360 Investigators excavate around the snow shelter, revealing four more victims, 82 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,700 bringing the death toll to nine. 83 00:06:22,980 --> 00:06:25,780 These four bodies are lying somewhat... 84 00:06:26,060 --> 00:06:30,260 closely together in the bed of a rocky stream at the bottom of a ravine. It 85 00:06:30,260 --> 00:06:32,360 looks like a dumping ground. 86 00:06:32,580 --> 00:06:37,760 It looks like just someone or something may have dropped them there. 87 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,640 Compared to the other victims, these bodies have even more ghastly injuries. 88 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:49,760 One corpse is a male victim with a severely twisted neck. 89 00:06:51,370 --> 00:06:55,910 Another young female has a crushed rib cage, and it's such a brutal injury that 90 00:06:55,910 --> 00:07:00,970 her ribs actually punctured her heart. And horrifically, her eyes and tongue 91 00:07:00,970 --> 00:07:01,970 missing. 92 00:07:02,010 --> 00:07:06,230 Another young male has a massive fracture to the side of his skull that 93 00:07:06,230 --> 00:07:07,650 have almost certainly knocked him unconscious. 94 00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:14,830 It looks more and more like the injuries are from brutal beatings from some 95 00:07:14,830 --> 00:07:16,610 heavy, blunt object. 96 00:07:17,990 --> 00:07:20,290 Investigators soon identify the dead. 97 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,920 as members of an expedition sponsored by the Ural Polytechnic University. 98 00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:30,180 They were reported missing after failing to complete their trip. 99 00:07:31,340 --> 00:07:34,800 Once you know who these victims are, it's even more tragic. 100 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,140 These students were among the best and the brightest from the Ural Polytechnic 101 00:07:39,140 --> 00:07:40,140 University. 102 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:45,920 They were very experienced mountaineers and well -respected members of the 103 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,080 sports club of the Ural Polytechnic Institute. 104 00:07:50,350 --> 00:07:54,670 The group's leader is 23 -year -old engineering student Igor Dyatlov. 105 00:07:55,350 --> 00:07:57,430 The tragedy bears his name. 106 00:07:58,170 --> 00:08:02,830 The Dyatlov Pass is named in memory of Igor Dyatlov. 107 00:08:04,510 --> 00:08:08,610 He designed this expedition to be as challenging as possible, so they could 108 00:08:08,610 --> 00:08:12,870 get certified as Grade 3 outboardmen. This was the highest category in the 109 00:08:12,870 --> 00:08:14,150 Soviet Union at the time. 110 00:08:15,510 --> 00:08:19,090 In January, the group leaves their home of Yekaterinburg. 111 00:08:19,770 --> 00:08:22,030 and travels to the village of Vijay. 112 00:08:23,210 --> 00:08:26,370 From Vijay, they go off -grid and head off into the wilderness. 113 00:08:26,750 --> 00:08:30,470 They have a compass and all the gear they think they need, but they don't 114 00:08:30,470 --> 00:08:32,470 any radio communication equipment with them. 115 00:08:33,090 --> 00:08:38,850 The trip was supposed to cover 200 miles over 16 days, but they only make it 116 00:08:38,850 --> 00:08:39,850 halfway. 117 00:08:40,630 --> 00:08:45,750 What frustrates friends and family of these hikers the most is that they say 118 00:08:45,750 --> 00:08:51,790 that... They are way too smart and way too experienced to have ended up 119 00:08:51,790 --> 00:08:54,530 accidentally freezing to death in the outdoors. 120 00:08:55,650 --> 00:09:01,130 The lead investigator in the case, Lev Ivanov, says he knows the cause of 121 00:09:07,470 --> 00:09:11,270 There are signs of a struggle at the scene, and no one can ignore the bruises 122 00:09:11,270 --> 00:09:14,510 and cuts to the face and the body and the missing pieces of flesh. 123 00:09:15,630 --> 00:09:19,110 But who could be capable of such a violent crime here? 124 00:09:19,970 --> 00:09:23,050 The potential suspect list is incredibly short. 125 00:09:23,970 --> 00:09:28,730 The mountain where the tent was abandoned, it's called Height 1079, is a 126 00:09:28,730 --> 00:09:32,530 uninhabited area and it borders the Siberian wilderness. 127 00:09:33,170 --> 00:09:34,770 Almost nobody lives there. 128 00:09:35,810 --> 00:09:36,810 Almost. 129 00:09:37,530 --> 00:09:44,350 Except for the fact that this region is home to many of Stalin's... 130 00:09:44,730 --> 00:09:46,530 infamous gulags. 131 00:09:52,270 --> 00:09:55,430 Stalin built lots of gulags. 132 00:09:55,910 --> 00:10:00,930 You don't know what a gulag is. It's this insane labor camp where political 133 00:10:00,930 --> 00:10:05,850 prisoners were sent. They were forced to do hours upon hours of manual labor. 134 00:10:05,970 --> 00:10:09,810 This is where you have some of the most hardened criminals in the Soviet Union 135 00:10:09,810 --> 00:10:13,610 residing. So investigators are thinking, maybe, 136 00:10:14,860 --> 00:10:19,940 One of these prisoners got out and encountered those nine hikers. 137 00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:25,540 Especially when they learned that the Ivdel Gulag is only a few miles from the 138 00:10:25,540 --> 00:10:26,540 site of the attack. 139 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,780 Police check with the Ivdel Gulag to see if there are any prisoners that are 140 00:10:30,780 --> 00:10:33,340 missing, but no, they're all accounted for. 141 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,220 They also doubt any escaped prisoners might have done this, because no 142 00:10:38,220 --> 00:10:41,080 provisions or belongings were stolen from the tent. 143 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,260 So the escapee theory doesn't go anywhere. 144 00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:49,420 So investigators start to ask, okay, it seems like it's a very personal crime. 145 00:10:49,620 --> 00:10:53,620 So they start to wonder, could this have been connected with anyone that was 146 00:10:53,620 --> 00:10:54,720 affiliated with that group? 147 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,220 And one name hops up. 148 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:04,400 The name, Yuri Yudin, a tenth hiker with the group and the sole survivor. 149 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,560 Is it possible that members of the Dyatlov expedition... 150 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,580 were killed by one of their own? 151 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,560 It's a mystery that's gripped the world. 152 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,180 Nine Russian hikers, dead in a remote mountain pass. 153 00:11:30,700 --> 00:11:33,020 Police are certain it's murder. 154 00:11:33,420 --> 00:11:38,980 And among their top suspects is fellow hiker Yuri Yudin. 155 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,160 So Yuri Yudin is a fourth -year engineering student who was part of that 156 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,120 group of hikers. In fact, he's the tenth member of that group. 157 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:54,420 But apparently, Yudin left early, and instead of ending up dead, 158 00:11:54,660 --> 00:11:56,860 he's now the sole survivor. 159 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,240 Therefore, we can assume one of two things. 160 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:06,800 Either Yudin is incredibly lucky, or he's the killer. 161 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:14,120 When Communist Party officials question Uden, he tells them he backed out of the 162 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,180 trek long before the murders. 163 00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:21,160 Uden claims to investigators that his back started to hurt when he was making 164 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,960 his way up the mountains, which caused him to quit the expedition. 165 00:12:24,460 --> 00:12:29,640 He says that he left the group on January 28th at 11 .45 a .m. at a 166 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:35,260 known as the Second Northern. And when he leaves, the rest of his group are all 167 00:12:35,260 --> 00:12:38,040 still very much alive, very much breathing. 168 00:12:39,850 --> 00:12:43,350 But as investigators are questioning Uden, they start to notice he becomes a 169 00:12:43,350 --> 00:12:46,890 more panicked, a bit more nervous. They're certainly skeptical. 170 00:12:49,150 --> 00:12:54,490 Still unsure of Uden's story, investigators ask him to help analyze 171 00:12:54,490 --> 00:12:59,330 scene. And this has to be traumatic for him. Think about it. He was supposed to 172 00:12:59,330 --> 00:13:02,930 be on that expedition with them, but because of his bad back, he ends up 173 00:13:02,930 --> 00:13:06,790 back, and now he's the only one alive of all of his friends. 174 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:14,580 So when he gets to that crime scene, he acts with genuine shock and surprise. 175 00:13:16,420 --> 00:13:20,120 Yuri notes there's something the police couldn't have, that some of the clothes 176 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,580 found on the bodies of those in the ravine belonged to some of the other 177 00:13:23,580 --> 00:13:24,580 students. 178 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,440 It's another bizarre detail in a case full of them. 179 00:13:30,300 --> 00:13:33,180 The clothing is sent to a laboratory for analysis. 180 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:39,500 While they await results... investigators try to verify Yudin's 181 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:45,180 Yudin's story of a bad back checks out. Yudin was in his native village of 182 00:13:45,180 --> 00:13:49,700 Emelyashevka with his family on February 1st and February 2nd, the same date 183 00:13:49,700 --> 00:13:52,660 that investigators calculate as the time of death. 184 00:13:53,380 --> 00:13:57,080 If Yudin's not the killer, who else could be? 185 00:13:58,580 --> 00:14:02,740 The only other known group of people in the area are the Mansi. 186 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,440 The Mansi have helped with the investigation. 187 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,720 They're the ones that pointed the investigators to the four bodies in the 188 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:10,720 ravine. 189 00:14:10,780 --> 00:14:14,840 Despite that, Lev Ivanov starts looking into the group. 190 00:14:19,980 --> 00:14:25,620 So Ivanov thinks that the Mansi are upset that a group of outsiders set up 191 00:14:25,620 --> 00:14:31,800 on Height 1079, also known as Kola Shackle, which roughly translates to 192 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,600 Dead Mountain. 193 00:14:36,810 --> 00:14:40,430 The explorers are violating sacred Monsi territory. 194 00:14:41,230 --> 00:14:44,270 And even more sacrilegious, there are two women in the group. 195 00:14:44,630 --> 00:14:49,730 And for the Monsi, women are forbidden to even step foot on sacred land, let 196 00:14:49,730 --> 00:14:53,450 alone look at it. Maybe that's why the eyes are removed from a couple of 197 00:14:53,450 --> 00:14:54,450 corpses. 198 00:14:56,030 --> 00:14:58,330 Ivanov interrogates multiple tribe members. 199 00:14:58,890 --> 00:15:02,310 While they deny involvement, they offer a new detail. 200 00:15:03,660 --> 00:15:08,040 Several people tell the same crazy sounding story that the manse saw lights 201 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,540 the sky or burning fireballs in the sky on the very night that the hikers died. 202 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,600 Police recovered a camera from the campsite and the last photo on this 203 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,480 had an image they didn't understand. 204 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:25,600 It looks like flares or streaks in the night sky. It's hard to tell but could 205 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,100 this corroborate the lights in the sky that were supposedly seen that night? 206 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,240 There are no timestamps on the photo, and if this is the last thing the hikers 207 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,320 photographed, you can't help but wonder if this has something to do with the 208 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,320 incident. 209 00:15:40,100 --> 00:15:45,480 Without a confession or any evidence that points to the Mansi, Ivanov has no 210 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:46,480 proof. 211 00:15:47,060 --> 00:15:50,220 So that's where things remain for a while, at a standstill. 212 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:55,040 No new evidence and no new suspects, nothing to explain what happened to the 213 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,040 nine hikers. 214 00:15:56,820 --> 00:15:58,520 Until several weeks later. 215 00:15:58,910 --> 00:16:00,770 when laboratory results come back. 216 00:16:04,290 --> 00:16:09,770 And just when you thought it was done, here's a new chance to find some new 217 00:16:09,770 --> 00:16:12,610 leads and to keep investigators moving forward. 218 00:16:13,230 --> 00:16:18,250 The analysis of the ripped clothing that was found in the ravine comes back and 219 00:16:18,250 --> 00:16:21,530 it reveals an incredible new clue. 220 00:16:21,890 --> 00:16:27,150 The analysis shows there's some unusually high levels of radioactivity 221 00:16:27,150 --> 00:16:28,150 of the items. 222 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,940 But how could clothes from alleged murder victims be radioactive? 223 00:16:38,420 --> 00:16:42,740 The answer could turn the course of the investigation in an entirely new 224 00:16:42,740 --> 00:16:43,740 direction. 225 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,540 But that's not what happens. Instead of following this new lead and getting to 226 00:16:47,540 --> 00:16:51,400 the bottom of the mystery, authorities go ahead and do the exact opposite. 227 00:16:52,660 --> 00:16:58,160 On May 28, 1959, three months into this investigation and after finding this new 228 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,500 evidence, Lev Ivanov abruptly closes the case. 229 00:17:02,310 --> 00:17:07,089 unsolved. The Soviet government steals off the entire area known as the Dyatlov 230 00:17:07,089 --> 00:17:09,990 Pass and prohibits anyone from going there. 231 00:17:11,270 --> 00:17:13,349 Ivanov's report marks a change. 232 00:17:13,710 --> 00:17:19,950 He now states that all nine deaths were caused by an unknown elemental force 233 00:17:19,950 --> 00:17:22,230 which they were unable to overcome. 234 00:17:24,450 --> 00:17:30,670 But while Lev Ivanov seems to want this to be the final word, it won't be. 235 00:17:38,510 --> 00:17:42,770 When nine hikers die under mysterious circumstances during the Dyatlov 236 00:17:42,770 --> 00:17:46,970 expedition, the public is eager to find out why. 237 00:17:48,050 --> 00:17:53,690 But lead investigator Lev Ivanov abruptly closes the case after three 238 00:17:54,030 --> 00:17:58,830 Just as he receives shocking evidence, the victim's clothing shows 239 00:17:58,830 --> 00:18:03,390 radioactivity. This is a crazy detail that definitely deserves some digging. 240 00:18:03,770 --> 00:18:08,470 So as soon as a case like this is shut down, people immediately think that it's 241 00:18:08,470 --> 00:18:09,470 a cover -up. 242 00:18:12,050 --> 00:18:14,510 The question is, why? 243 00:18:18,210 --> 00:18:21,150 The USSR wants to be the dominant superpower. 244 00:18:21,830 --> 00:18:25,450 So they're doing a lot of covert things at this time. They're doing research 245 00:18:25,450 --> 00:18:28,990 experiments. They're doing military experiments. They have spy operations 246 00:18:28,990 --> 00:18:29,990 on. 247 00:18:30,830 --> 00:18:33,010 Government cover -ups are happening every day. 248 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:39,100 The Soviet population understands that there are secret tests, but also they 249 00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:45,540 accept the rule of the government that this is secrecy they cannot know about. 250 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,440 I mean, it's not hard for people to put two and two together. You've got the 251 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,380 Dyatlov death and now the appearance of unusually high levels of radiation on 252 00:18:53,380 --> 00:18:54,239 some of the clothes. 253 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,300 People are starting to think that this is linked to the military. 254 00:19:01,610 --> 00:19:04,870 that the cadavers have an unnaturally orange appearance. 255 00:19:05,390 --> 00:19:10,210 The bodies all appear withered, and some of them have third -degree burns on 256 00:19:10,210 --> 00:19:13,190 them, which is a sign of radiation poisoning. 257 00:19:13,930 --> 00:19:19,290 The family of group leader Igor Dyatlov say they are certain the military was 258 00:19:19,290 --> 00:19:20,290 somehow involved. 259 00:19:20,690 --> 00:19:23,810 But exactly what are they covering up? 260 00:19:25,110 --> 00:19:29,390 Don't forget, the Monsi said that they saw fireballs in the sky that night. 261 00:19:31,110 --> 00:19:36,850 So one idea is that it's a case of a weapons test that goes wrong. The rocket 262 00:19:36,850 --> 00:19:41,930 fails to go into orbit and lands really close to where the Dyatlov hikers are 263 00:19:41,930 --> 00:19:46,410 camped out for the night, and it sends shockwaves, which frightens them and has 264 00:19:46,410 --> 00:19:47,870 them running out of the tent. 265 00:19:48,850 --> 00:19:50,410 There are different hypotheses. 266 00:19:51,010 --> 00:19:55,890 Some think that it was the Soviet government through its military that 267 00:19:55,890 --> 00:19:59,570 them because they witnessed something that they were not supposed to. 268 00:19:59,900 --> 00:20:00,900 To have a witness. 269 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,660 And there's one other little detail that seems to prop up this cover -up theory. 270 00:20:05,860 --> 00:20:11,540 It's presumed that one of the hikers was actually a KGB spy, and his name was 271 00:20:11,540 --> 00:20:12,860 Semyon Zolotaryov. 272 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,660 Zolotaryov is the only person on the expedition who is not a student. 273 00:20:20,260 --> 00:20:26,200 In fact, he's 38 years old, and mysteriously added to the group by 274 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,560 officials at the last minute. 275 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,320 A lot of things about Zolotarev are a bit unusual. 276 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,720 For one, he's single, which is kind of weird in Russia at this time. 277 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:40,140 Additionally, he's got all these very cryptic tattoos on his body. 278 00:20:40,700 --> 00:20:45,820 And at the start of the journey, this older gentleman tells the students to 279 00:20:45,820 --> 00:20:47,940 him by a fake name, Sasha. 280 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:54,540 We do know that Simon Zolotarev is not who he pretends to be. 281 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,900 There's too much in his biography. 282 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:04,020 that is not consistent even when he talks about his service in world war ii 283 00:21:04,020 --> 00:21:11,000 mixes up dates when he served in one unit or another and in my opinion having 284 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:17,560 studied this case he was a top -notch kgb operator so the theory is that the 285 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,920 kgb is spying on the russian military to see what is going on in these mountains 286 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,300 and unfortunately these hikers 287 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,300 Just got caught in the middle of an interagency conflict. 288 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:36,120 So Zolotaryov, he found out to be a spy agent on behalf of the KGB. 289 00:21:36,540 --> 00:21:41,640 So the group, although innocent, are killed because of him. 290 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,800 When Zolotaryov's body is recovered, the film in his camera has been destroyed 291 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:50,860 by water damage. 292 00:21:51,820 --> 00:21:56,300 His motivation and his potential KGB ties remain a mystery. 293 00:21:57,300 --> 00:22:02,840 Whether the KGB was connected to the case or not, we don't know. But the idea 294 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:09,720 the military being involved in the whole mess is very much popular and one 295 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,820 of the top hypotheses in this Dudlow Pass incident. 296 00:22:14,020 --> 00:22:18,360 Even the university, the Ural Polytechnic Institute, which sponsored 297 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:19,980 thinks this is what happened. 298 00:22:21,770 --> 00:22:27,790 And in 1990, another familiar voice joins the chorus claiming a cover -up. 299 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,420 Communist Party officials were incredibly worried that these reports 300 00:22:50,420 --> 00:22:51,460 out to foreign nations. 301 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,420 And on top of that, Ivanov believes that it's these secret tests that ultimately 302 00:22:56,420 --> 00:22:57,920 leads to the death of these hikers. 303 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:07,480 Seoul survivor Yuri Yudin also believes the government was involved and revealed 304 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,000 a key piece of evidence before his death in 2013. 305 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,880 Yudin says that when he was... helping the investigators with the inventory of 306 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:22,880 the items left by the hikers. Things didn't add up. He found things that did 307 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:29,560 belong to anyone, like a military cloth, a pair of glasses, also an extra pair 308 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:30,560 of keys. 309 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,800 And his good feeling was that this was staged. 310 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,200 Even Boris Yeltsin thinks authorities are hiding something. 311 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:48,020 When he's made president of Russia after the fall of the USSR in 1991, he 312 00:23:48,020 --> 00:23:50,960 promises to investigate the Dyatlov Pass incident. 313 00:23:51,820 --> 00:23:57,780 He was very much interested in the case as well because he was himself a 314 00:23:57,780 --> 00:24:02,920 graduate of the same institution, Euro Polytechnic, and because people appealed 315 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:03,559 to him. 316 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:08,300 He uses all of his political power to try to find information, things that 317 00:24:08,300 --> 00:24:11,880 happened in 1959 that can shed light on this event. 318 00:24:12,590 --> 00:24:17,050 Now, the closest missile launch site to the Dyatlov Pass is actually located in 319 00:24:17,050 --> 00:24:20,350 Kazakhstan, and it's called the Baikonur Cosmodrome. 320 00:24:21,090 --> 00:24:25,670 Yeltsin's investigators dig into the records of Baikonur to see if there were 321 00:24:25,670 --> 00:24:30,590 any missile launches in 1959 during that window of the hikers' death. 322 00:24:30,970 --> 00:24:36,090 He assured people that there were no rockets during the day when the hikers 323 00:24:36,090 --> 00:24:37,090 perished. 324 00:24:37,590 --> 00:24:41,310 It's tough to know if he actually did look into this, but if what he's saying 325 00:24:41,310 --> 00:24:46,430 true... There were no missile tests that happened in the area during that time. 326 00:24:47,350 --> 00:24:53,530 Whatever Yeltsin's involvement with the case was, it didn't bring us any closer 327 00:24:53,530 --> 00:24:55,730 to finding the truth. 328 00:24:57,630 --> 00:25:01,450 Yeltsin's findings seem to end the cover -up theory, but they don't stop the 329 00:25:01,450 --> 00:25:02,870 public from asking questions. 330 00:25:03,150 --> 00:25:06,130 And a shocking new one is about to emerge. 331 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:18,100 Berlin Wall in 1989, the Dyatlov Pass case files are finally made public, 332 00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:22,420 amateur investigators a fresh chance to solve the mystery. 333 00:25:22,660 --> 00:25:27,560 Digging deep into the evidence, they find an intriguing photo taken by one of 334 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:32,820 the hikers, and it leads to a shocking new theory and a surprising suspect. 335 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,720 There is a number of people in Russia who believe that Yeti, or Снежный 336 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,020 in Russian, is the culprit in this case. 337 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:53,340 In one of the photographs found at the site, there is a very unusual creature 338 00:25:53,340 --> 00:25:57,300 that was depicted in the photograph, and it's very interesting. 339 00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:05,520 This was the last frame of the photographs Nikolai Thibault took at the 340 00:26:06,170 --> 00:26:11,770 And I don't think he had enough time to think what he photographed, but it's 341 00:26:11,770 --> 00:26:12,790 there, historical evidence. 342 00:26:14,110 --> 00:26:17,210 What you see in the picture is a humanoid -like being. 343 00:26:17,750 --> 00:26:23,070 It's big, it's about 10 feet, it's hulking, much like the Yetis or snowmen. 344 00:26:23,550 --> 00:26:27,990 And it looks like it's looking at the group, observing them. 345 00:26:32,490 --> 00:26:34,610 There were so many stories. 346 00:26:35,260 --> 00:26:39,580 coming from different parts of the Soviet Union. And this photograph could 347 00:26:39,580 --> 00:26:42,800 definitely serve as a proof that the Yeti is out there. 348 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:49,700 The Yetis are huge beings, about 10 feet in size. People are afraid of them 349 00:26:49,700 --> 00:26:56,060 because they could crush with their arms and legs a human being and do it very 350 00:26:56,060 --> 00:26:57,060 quickly. 351 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:02,360 Even the Dyatlov students themselves make reference to a Yeti prior to their 352 00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:03,360 trip. 353 00:27:03,500 --> 00:27:08,240 Before they hike into the mountains, the students, the hikers, publish a 354 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:15,100 satirical newspaper, and they write a headline that reads, Science. In recent 355 00:27:15,100 --> 00:27:19,200 years, there has been a heated debate about the existence of the Yeti. 356 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:24,720 Latest evidence indicates that the Yeti lives in the northern Urals, near Mount 357 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:25,720 Otorten. 358 00:27:26,660 --> 00:27:29,840 It's quite possible that while they wanted to... 359 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:35,420 express themselves and show no fear by placing jokes in that newspaper they 360 00:27:35,420 --> 00:27:39,520 that something was out there and it could be it could be yeti 361 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:46,380 supporters of the yeti theory also point to photos 362 00:27:46,380 --> 00:27:53,020 of the bodies that show what appears to be abject terror with 363 00:27:53,020 --> 00:27:59,220 clenched fists ready for a fight of course seeing a horrible 364 00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:02,020 Like a Yeti. 365 00:28:02,420 --> 00:28:05,280 By their attempt, that would have frightened them. 366 00:28:08,540 --> 00:28:12,460 But that's not the only creature that could get such a reaction. 367 00:28:12,940 --> 00:28:18,780 We have to account for many predators that live in the area that could have 368 00:28:18,780 --> 00:28:20,440 attacked the hikers. 369 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:27,280 And among them are bears, wild dogs, wolverines, even 370 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:28,720 the Siberian tiger. 371 00:28:29,420 --> 00:28:33,380 But the most likely culprit in the animal attack theory is a brown bear. 372 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:40,420 The autopsy report listed fractured skulls, broken chest, scratches and 373 00:28:40,460 --> 00:28:41,480 and even missing flesh. 374 00:28:41,700 --> 00:28:44,140 A brown bear would be capable of doing this. 375 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:49,020 But the problem with the brown bear theory is that they were in hibernation 376 00:28:49,020 --> 00:28:50,020 around this time. 377 00:28:50,060 --> 00:28:56,420 That's all the more reason if a bear wakes up early and is hungry, it would 378 00:28:56,420 --> 00:28:59,580 out. Nine campers that just happened to be in that area. 379 00:29:02,940 --> 00:29:09,280 After decades of public speculation about animal attacks, homicide, cover 380 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:15,800 and much more, in 2019, public fascination with the Dyatlov case 381 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,920 authorities to finally reopen the file. 382 00:29:19,620 --> 00:29:24,040 A young prosecutor, Andrei Kuryakov, takes the lead. 383 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,820 Andrei Kuryakov sits down with a list of 75 theories. 384 00:29:28,540 --> 00:29:32,340 Thanks to the growing public interest, this case has just gone bigger and 385 00:29:32,340 --> 00:29:33,339 bigger. 386 00:29:33,340 --> 00:29:37,420 Not sure if the Yeti has made the list, but Kuryakov certainly has his work cut 387 00:29:37,420 --> 00:29:39,700 out for him, but it seems he's up for the task. 388 00:29:40,660 --> 00:29:46,640 As Kuryakov starts researching, he notices a detail that leads to a new 389 00:29:55,820 --> 00:30:00,820 It turns out that the weather on the 1st of February in 1959 is pretty extreme 390 00:30:00,820 --> 00:30:01,820 for that mountain. 391 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:07,220 With winds up to 65 miles an hour and temperatures down to 30 degrees. 392 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,120 And this has Kuryakov thinking, could it be an avalanche? 393 00:30:12,140 --> 00:30:18,500 Andrei Kuryakov organizes a 2020 expedition to the Dyatlov Pass to test 394 00:30:18,500 --> 00:30:19,500 theory. 395 00:30:20,980 --> 00:30:24,060 And he's about to find one key piece of evidence. 396 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,080 that the original investigation got wrong. 397 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:38,260 Sixty years after the Dyatlov tragedy, prosecutor Andrei Kuryakov returns to 398 00:30:38,260 --> 00:30:44,540 crime scene with new technology, hoping to prove the killer was an avalanche. 399 00:30:50,350 --> 00:30:54,330 They use photogrammetry to really pinpoint the location of the tent. 400 00:30:54,590 --> 00:30:58,090 And then they take photos of the current landscape and compare them with the old 401 00:30:58,090 --> 00:31:01,890 ones, and they notice a huge discrepancy of what they originally investigated. 402 00:31:03,130 --> 00:31:08,070 The location where the tent was pitched in 1959 is actually several hundred feet 403 00:31:08,070 --> 00:31:10,330 away from where they originally thought it was pitched. 404 00:31:10,910 --> 00:31:15,190 The location of the tent is the number one factor in determining if an 405 00:31:15,190 --> 00:31:18,750 took place, and it looks like the original investigation might have made a 406 00:31:18,750 --> 00:31:19,750 mistake. 407 00:31:20,910 --> 00:31:25,610 The risk of an avalanche depends on the degree of incline. On average, it takes 408 00:31:25,610 --> 00:31:27,630 a 30 -degree incline to trigger one. 409 00:31:28,230 --> 00:31:34,510 Using the old incorrect data, investigators prior to 2019 thought that 410 00:31:34,510 --> 00:31:38,850 above the tent was about 15 degrees. So they've ruled out the avalanche theory 411 00:31:38,850 --> 00:31:39,850 this entire time. 412 00:31:40,810 --> 00:31:46,030 The newly calculated location has a much steeper slope of around 28 degrees. 413 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,620 It's still not 30 degrees, and avalanche still may not be possible. 414 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,300 But with the right weather conditions, it's much more likely. 415 00:31:57,300 --> 00:32:00,680 When they analyze the weather conditions, they find that there's a 416 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,460 phenomena here called katabatic winds. 417 00:32:06,020 --> 00:32:09,300 Katabatic winds travel at hurricane speeds. 418 00:32:10,060 --> 00:32:13,180 In effect, they act as a huge snowplow. 419 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,820 These winds can take tons and tons of snow. 420 00:32:17,310 --> 00:32:22,590 And it's very likely that these winds could have deposited huge amounts of 421 00:32:22,590 --> 00:32:24,170 above the hiker's tent. 422 00:32:25,370 --> 00:32:28,710 And that's when they become even more confident in their avalanche theory. 423 00:32:29,030 --> 00:32:33,370 They think that this mountain is a death trap just waiting to spring. 424 00:32:39,870 --> 00:32:45,250 Once the weather expedition is complete, Andrei Kuryakov presents his findings 425 00:32:45,250 --> 00:32:46,250 to the public. 426 00:32:47,690 --> 00:32:52,310 Kirikov theorises that at some time after the tent was set up around 7pm, a 427 00:32:52,310 --> 00:32:54,110 windstorm kicks off into high gear. 428 00:32:55,510 --> 00:33:00,550 Sometime between 1 .30 and 5 .30am, a small avalanche is triggered above the 429 00:33:00,550 --> 00:33:02,330 tent where they had cut into the slope. 430 00:33:03,410 --> 00:33:07,490 That new snow up above is too heavy and it crashes down onto the tent. 431 00:33:08,470 --> 00:33:13,280 After that initial snow dump... The hikers, fearing more to come, cut their 432 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,000 way out of the tent and run to a rocky ridge 150 feet away. 433 00:33:18,340 --> 00:33:24,320 At the time, standard avalanche protocol, the idea of being able to find 434 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,360 place behind a high rocky ridge that would redirect the snow away from them. 435 00:33:29,500 --> 00:33:33,640 But here, Kuryakov's theory takes an interesting twist. 436 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,080 He doesn't actually think a bigger avalanche ever hit. 437 00:33:37,710 --> 00:33:40,610 He thinks that they hurried out of the tent, but it never came. 438 00:33:40,950 --> 00:33:45,010 And the problem is that the hikers got disorientated, and they couldn't find 439 00:33:45,010 --> 00:33:46,150 their way back to the tent. 440 00:33:46,970 --> 00:33:51,270 So the investigator tests his theory. He blindfolds a man and a woman, makes 441 00:33:51,270 --> 00:33:55,110 them walk 90 feet away from the tent, and then challenges them to find their 442 00:33:55,110 --> 00:33:56,370 back, and they can't. 443 00:33:57,130 --> 00:33:59,670 And what about their strange lack of clothing? 444 00:34:00,590 --> 00:34:04,410 Cherykov thinks that some of them were partially undressed when they fled the 445 00:34:04,410 --> 00:34:08,139 tent. But he thinks the others may have suffered from a phenomena called 446 00:34:08,139 --> 00:34:09,560 paradoxical undressing. 447 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:15,000 This is where people in their final stages of hypothermia feel as if they're 448 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,139 burning hot, which leads them to take their clothes off. 449 00:34:21,340 --> 00:34:27,400 According to Kuryakov, sometime between 4 .30 and 7 .30 a .m., the hikers freeze 450 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:28,400 to death. 451 00:34:28,639 --> 00:34:32,940 The two young men found in their underwear under the cedar tree died 452 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,860 The other members of the group cut the clothes off of their dead friends in a 453 00:34:37,860 --> 00:34:39,280 last -ditch effort to survive. 454 00:34:40,219 --> 00:34:45,500 At some point, the group splits up, and three of them, Dyatlov, Kolmogorova, and 455 00:34:45,500 --> 00:34:47,440 Solobodan, head back towards the tent. 456 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,840 Sadly, they freeze to death before making it back. 457 00:34:54,100 --> 00:34:56,239 But what about the final four? 458 00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,960 And this is where the theory gets really weird. You can never believe this group 459 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:01,960 had such bad luck. 460 00:35:02,700 --> 00:35:07,500 The last four dig down a snow shelter. It's basically a snow chamber where they 461 00:35:07,500 --> 00:35:09,760 can hide from the elements and share body heat. 462 00:35:10,620 --> 00:35:15,420 But the one spot they decide to dig in is above a stream through a hollowed 463 00:35:15,420 --> 00:35:16,419 icy tunnel. 464 00:35:16,420 --> 00:35:18,660 They dig down and the tunnel collapses. 465 00:35:19,340 --> 00:35:23,220 They fall into the icy stream and are buried under 15 feet of snow. 466 00:35:28,330 --> 00:35:32,990 As he concludes the press conference, Kuryakov declares that the Dyatlov Pass 467 00:35:32,990 --> 00:35:35,110 mystery is finally solved. 468 00:35:35,590 --> 00:35:39,390 The Russians are outraged at Kuryakov and loudly reject his theory. 469 00:35:39,910 --> 00:35:42,950 The families of the dead are especially critical of him. 470 00:35:43,810 --> 00:35:48,170 Let's be clear, the public hates the avalanche theory. 471 00:35:48,410 --> 00:35:53,350 It doesn't account for so many key facts and details of the case. 472 00:35:54,310 --> 00:35:56,210 People were making fun of it. 473 00:35:56,780 --> 00:36:01,080 and disregarded it because they know this is another set of cover -up. 474 00:36:07,780 --> 00:36:12,660 The Dyatlov Pass incident has spawned many theories over the years. 475 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:19,620 But in a case full of strange details and unusual twists, none have fully 476 00:36:19,620 --> 00:36:21,260 aligned with the facts. 477 00:36:21,700 --> 00:36:24,600 You can say maybe it's a bear attack, but... 478 00:36:25,130 --> 00:36:26,330 The bears are hibernating. 479 00:36:26,890 --> 00:36:28,350 You say it's an avalanche. 480 00:36:29,170 --> 00:36:31,790 But what about their clothes, testing positive for radiation? 481 00:36:32,810 --> 00:36:36,630 What about the Mansi tribe's testimony of fireballs in the sky? 482 00:36:37,710 --> 00:36:41,930 What about Semyon Zolotaryov, the possible KGB agent that was planted 483 00:36:41,930 --> 00:36:42,930 hikers? 484 00:36:43,510 --> 00:36:48,510 There are just so many details to account for, and there isn't just one 485 00:36:48,510 --> 00:36:51,390 that makes total sense. 486 00:36:52,370 --> 00:36:54,630 But... What if there is? 487 00:37:00,390 --> 00:37:06,170 So theory after theory after theory comes out. And after a while, people 488 00:37:06,170 --> 00:37:10,110 stop looking at all the evidence one piece at a time. And they just say to 489 00:37:10,110 --> 00:37:14,310 themselves, what if it's not just one thing? What if all of these theories are 490 00:37:14,310 --> 00:37:15,310 partially right? 491 00:37:17,310 --> 00:37:22,330 So in other words, it's an avalanche and it's a murder and it's a cover up. 492 00:37:22,670 --> 00:37:25,290 And it's an animal attack, all in one. 493 00:37:26,890 --> 00:37:32,630 If you start with the fireballs reported by MUN during that time, it could be 494 00:37:32,630 --> 00:37:38,670 part of a nuclear experiment. We don't understand, maybe a new type of nuclear 495 00:37:38,670 --> 00:37:44,510 weapon, that the KGB, of course, did not want to leak out to its enemies in the 496 00:37:44,510 --> 00:37:46,890 West, and they covered it up. 497 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:52,800 Apart from the other students, the poor students did not know they were heading 498 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,120 into the special testing area. 499 00:37:55,900 --> 00:38:01,000 This could explain the radioactivity that was found in their clothing. 500 00:38:03,500 --> 00:38:07,600 The nuclear test may also explain the avalanche. 501 00:38:08,460 --> 00:38:12,220 Those nuclear weapons emit shockwaves. Those shockwaves are the catalyst for 502 00:38:12,220 --> 00:38:15,820 avalanche to collapse on the tent, and it could have caused those blunt force 503 00:38:15,820 --> 00:38:17,140 injuries on their own. 504 00:38:17,620 --> 00:38:22,080 So in the span of an instant, the explosion startles the hikers. It starts 505 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,100 avalanche. It showers them in radiation. 506 00:38:24,460 --> 00:38:28,920 The shockwaves hit them with the force of a speeding truck, which causes 507 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:33,260 injuries, and it causes them to rush and escape down the side of a mountain. 508 00:38:35,140 --> 00:38:37,300 From there, the cover -up. 509 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:45,020 If any of the hikers would have survived, the military would have taken 510 00:38:45,020 --> 00:38:49,540 them because they didn't want eyewitnesses to something that is a top 511 00:38:50,740 --> 00:38:57,140 And even if they were dead, the lead investigator, Lev Ivanov, was forced to 512 00:38:57,140 --> 00:39:03,060 close short the investigation so nothing is leaked out. 513 00:39:04,190 --> 00:39:09,650 And finally, the animal attack theory, of course, accounts for injuries that 514 00:39:09,650 --> 00:39:15,790 hikers have sustained because the animals had access to the bodies for a 515 00:39:15,790 --> 00:39:21,530 of time, and they did what animals do.
