The tenth corpse lay below the pass, in the place where the group's storage was.
On the Internet, I found this: on February 1 in the morning we got up, had breakfast, laid a storage shed and only at 15-00 Igor Dyatlov's group went up to the pass. They left so late because they no longer planned to go to Mount Otorten and therefore decided to spend a symbolic night on the slope of Mount Kholatchakhl, and on February 2 in the morning they would go back to the upper reaches of Auspiya, pick up their things and all food or only part of them and go in the opposite direction. … Searches in the Lozva valley failed today. Twenty-two people climbed the pass and were forced to return back due to a blizzard, no visibility. Instead, they prepared firewood, fortified the camp, prepared it for the arrival of the reinforcements. The search group of Slobtsov and Kurikov (Mansi), 400 meters from our tent, up the Auspiya, found Dyatlov's storage. In the storage shed there are nineteen products weighing 55 kg,as well as a spare first aid kit, Dyatlov's warm boots, one ski boots, a mandolin, a set of batteries with bulbs and a spare set of skis. The labaz (storage) is very important in this whole story. I will describe the details now.
It turns out that during the search for the bodies of the dead Dyatlovites, not nine bodies, but ten were found (hold on to the chair)! The last tenth corpse lay in the place where the group's storage was installed. The body was found, marked with the ski removed, and (at least) three photographs were taken. In the photographs, a human hand is sticking out of a snowdrift. Fragments of clothing covered with snow are also visible. There is no more mention of this corpse anywhere. He does not appear in the criminal case. The act of its autopsy (also) is nowhere to be found. But by some accident the photo was not removed from the criminal case. All these years, it was posted on the site in memory of the Dyatlov group. One copy even has a signature (storage). But no one paid attention to the hand sticking out from under the snow. This means that the tenth corpse was not identified.
It looks like it's too early to file this case. Who was in this photo? A member of the group who is not mentioned in the criminal case? The attacker who was mortally wounded by Igor Dyatlov? If anyone does not know, I would like to inform you that an object was clamped in the hand of Igor Dyatlov's body. Possibly a stiletto or a narrow finca. With her in his hands he died. Then, in the morgue, the Finn was removed from the hand. No mention of her was found in the case file. As there is no mention of the tenth corpse. If this is true, then this is the picture.
1) There was a person in the group about whom there is no mention. Therefore, this whole story begins to resemble a thriller (though it is). The tenth member of the campaign never got into the camera lens. There are no records or memories of him. But like the rest of the group, he died on the slopes of a snow-covered mountain.
2) Perhaps this is one of the attackers. This is in the event that they attacked in a group. If it was one person, then he possessed incredible strength and skills as a hunter. However, this did not save him from death. The fact that his hand is bared is possibly evidenced by the fact that his clothes were torn during the attack. Having received the wound, he went downstairs to the storage shed. There were clothes, a first aid kit, and food. However, an unknown person died at the very storage. The snow covered the body securely. Only the search engines themselves found it. True, there is one interesting telephone message. The head of the search reported on the discovery of a warm sweater made in China. And also a soldier's winding from a greatcoat cloth. Characteristically, there were no such people in the group. So maybe this winding was from the tenth member of the band? Or had the attacker left her?
In this case, the case has signs of deliberate manipulation. If so, then the investigators knew for sure that the group had been killed. We knew absolutely exactly who did it, for what purpose or motivation. So no one investigated this case at all. They did everything so that the truth would never be revealed. However, I do not draw any conclusions, I only assume, I only find evidence about which there was no mention for 59 years.
