Show notes

Six members of Lyudmila Korovina's hiking group died during an August 1993 emergency in Siberia's Hamar-Daban Mountains. Valentina Utochenko survived.

More than two hours of vintage suspense turn intimate details into warnings: matches in a pocket, an expression, or footsteps where nobody is expected. Listen for criminal motives and the consequences of trust as these mysteries unfold. A witch watches an actor whose ambitions put his wife in danger.
