Nine Dead Bodies In The Snow
What researchers found at the camp scene was clear and unequivocal.
Itswhy it all happenedthat remains one of the worlds greatest unsolved mysteries.
So what really happened?
To this day, nearly 60 years later, no one knows for sure.
Theres also the fact that the footprints found near the camp were not buried under any snow.
And the footprints also indicate that those who left the tent did so in an orderly and slow fashion.
But this only explains why they were barely clothed and not why they died.
There was no epicenter.
Plus, a sound blast doesnt explain the blunt-force trauma to three of the bodies.
The problem with this theory is that the picture could have been of one of the hikers.

As the theory goes, something went wrong in the negotiation process and the CIA killed all nine hikers.
The tourists in the tent sleeping or just getting ready, had time to undress.
For now, the mystery of Dyatlov Pass remains unsolvedwhich is what makes it so intriguing.
