The first body found was mostly bones. A man looking for firewood in the lesopolosa, a rectangular shelterbelt or forested strip of land planted to prevent erosion, found the remains. While the area was only about 50 yards wide, with a path running through it, no one had seen this body until it was pretty well decomposed. There were small patches of leathered skin on some of the bones and some black hair hanging from the skull. The man who found the remains reported them to the militsia, the local authorities in this southern region of RussiaThe body had no identifying clothing and had been left on its back, the head turned to one side. The ears were still sufficiently intact to see tiny holes for earrings, and those, along with the length of the hair, suggested that this victim had been female. It also appeared from her postmortem posture that she had tried to fight her attacker. It appeared that two ribs had been broken, perhaps by a knife, and closer inspection indicated numerous stab wounds into the bone. A knife had apparently cut into the eye sockets, too, as if to remove the eyes, and similar gouges were viewed in the pelvic region.Whoever had done this, the police thought, had been a frenzied beast.They did have a report on a missing 13yearold girl, Lyubov Biryuk from Novocherkassk, a village not far away. Investigators called the uncle of the missing girl who had done an extensive search for her after shed disappeared earlier in the month. He came to where the body lay to look at the remains.Lyubovs uncle, perhaps clutching to some small glimpse of hope, said his nieces hair was not as dark and that the bones looked to him as if they had been there longer than she had been missing.
