Russian police announced last week that they are reopening an investigation into the mysterious deaths of nine students who died in 1959 during a ski trip.
The deaths, known as the Dyatlov Pass Incident, have long sparked conspiracy theories surrounding what happened to the students.
Alexander Kurennoi, the official representative of Russia’s prosecutor general, made the announcement, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported.
"All of [the deaths] are somehow connected with natural phenomena," he said.
"Relatives, the media and the public still ask prosecutors to determine the truth and don't hide their suspicions that something was hidden from them,” he continued.
The incident began when the students went on a skiing trip across the Ural Mountains in January 1959. They were led by Igor Dyatlov, a student at Ural Polytechnic Institute, and the group -- in all, seven men and two women -- started off on what they hoped would be a 16-day journey.
