Nine Dead In Russia: Solving a Soviet Era Mystery - Donnie Eichar

Nine Russian hikers were found dead high in the Ural Mountains in 1959. Their camp was found undisturbed; boots were stacked neatly by tent doors, clothes folded in an orderly manner and the only hint of trouble was knife cuts in the tents, which had been done from the inside. Their bodies were found a mile away, improperly clothed for the elements. Over fifty years later, Donnie Eichar has been engaged in a Sherlock Holmes-style, process of elimination investigation to what could have happened to the hikers and he doesn't believe that the deaths were caused by either aliens or Soviet soldiers, which had been rumored for decades. He tells the story of the sad incident in his new book, Dead Mountain.
