The Usoltsev family, who disappeared in the taiga, could have left Krasnoyarsk. This assumption was made by Daniil Batalov, the son of Irina Usoltseva.
“I adhere to the version that they are not in Kotorchin, that they left,” Batalov said in a conversation with. RIA Novosti.
Earlier, volunteer Svetlana Torgashina said that during the search for the Usoltsev family, volunteers used drones equipped with thermal imaging devices that recorded bright spots in the taiga. She explained that drones carrying audio messages helped hope that the missing people would give some kind of signal.
Investigators also said that the Usoltsev family did not belong to any sect. At the same time, family friend Valentin Degtyarev claims that Sergei Usoltsev could have killed his family and pet, and then committed suicide.

The search for the couple began the next day, involving dozens of rescuers, volunteers, drones and a helicopter. “Moscow Evening” talked about how the search for the Usoltsev family is progressing and what versions of the reasons for their disappearance now exist.
