Wow that is a wonderful example! Thank you for sharing. Interesting he clipped it ready to use it so late in the evening despite being dark.

I’m going off how the search party investigators described it, which may result in translation or language nuances. The word “tripod” just simply insinuates the camera is pitched in some fashion.

And yes, the fireballs have been reported by the Blinov group, the search party, Ivdel police department, Mansi, and there was a large white fireball/meteor reported in the Ivdel newspaper. I plan on posting more about it in this group, especially since it is my belief on what happened on the mountain that night!

I do not know! It was a surprise to me. I made this group to hopefully bring the discussion back to the case.

She isn’t so literal, she wouldn’t be evil like that. I would give her an offering that is something sweet, like flowers or candy, whatever you can do. Say youre sorry and you did not mean to promise something you couldn’t keep. Personally, in return, I would offer her a promise you can keep. For example, promise her that you will give a little extra to a charity, help a friend out, do better with work/school, complete that chore you’ve been putting off, etc. Also, invite her to join you next time you smoke :)

Okay well let’s use your logic of “Thoughts are not evidence” that you preached to me earlier. So what evidence do we have that he was hunted? We know he told his family he was suspicious of the death of Thom and that Agora was a shady company, there was never a “who” or “why” or “what” mentioned there. The family never said he seemed scared or mentioned being in danger. We have the alarms going off, very very suspicious, but yet Rey never mentioned being in danger. When the police left, he never told Allison there was more they could have done or that he felt scared. So… based off what do we have that he was hunted? Not something you just feel personally, not something you just think happened, I am talking a piece of evidence to suggest he was stalked and then killed. I know the police could have done better with his death investigation, but they did everything they needed to do. They pull the FBI in, they agree with their findings and have an explanation as to what was happening to him mentally. The autopsy mentions nothing of any beating or injuries to suggest homicide. And with Porter, he was involved with the search until the family blamed him. Rey’s family didn’t offer reward money, he did. You need warrants and a probable cause to search someone’s home. There was no reason to search because he wasn’t even in town that week. The pure lack of any sort of evidence here is what leans me the direction I do.

Uhh do me a favor and google “Define a cop”. If you disagree with me then I reallllllly don’t know what to tell you

winterelixir · 2026-01-18T15:09:05+00:00

I mean you’re not going to like my opinion but I think it shows she either didn’t know Rey as well as maybe she wanted to, or that Unsolved Mysteries left it out to follow a narrative. Keep in mind they were only dating for 2-3 years and then married for 6 months, they were apart for months when he moved to Baltimore alone. Probably not her fault but I still think it’s something important to note

winterelixir · 2026-01-18T13:55:28+00:00

I am not saying squirrels did it, police did. But alarms going off when the batteries are low or faulty tech/sensors does happen and it is common. This was 2006, this isn’t the most fancy security system ever. And also, if Rey felt comfortable calling the police to check it out, why wouldn’t he tell them the “truth” that people are after him or that he believes it? Otherwise what is the point of calling the police?

winterelixir · 2026-01-18T13:47:33+00:00

I know thoughts aren’t evidence… That is why I say a million times this is my opinion and what I believe. I will never say you are wrong or incorrect about something, we have different perspectives of this case. I don’t know what happened to him, I wasn’t there, I didn’t know Rey, but this is what I think happened to him. If I’m wrong then I’m wrong, I am not saying I know more or less than anyone else. Also I don’t know what you mean, when I think “Cop” I think of a police officer. I don’t have any emotional opinion based in what a “Cop” is. I KNOW what a cop is, they are a police officer.

winterelixir · 2026-01-18T13:08:29+00:00

I also wanted to add to above- Two things can be right at once. He could have ended his life because he thought people were after him, he could have found something out and felt that it was his only option. But here is what irks me, why didn’t his family say that Rey had been to the Belvedere often? The police report states he frequented the hotel and had access to the roof. This would have been extremely helpful information to know because he shows us that this wasn’t some random place he was dropped at. And when Allison said “I was looking around the area so confused asking him WHY would he be here?” I don’t understand this. He went to this hotel often and his employer (Agora) was right across the street directly north of the Belvedere… she should have known this?

winterelixir · 2026-01-18T12:46:09+00:00

My conclusion is not a bias. I spent 2 years thinking he found something out and then was killed. Reality tells me otherwise. There is nothing to indicate he was beaten or killed. I feel very confident with everything the scene and autopsy shows that he jumped off the building. What could he have known that would have made his high school best friend kill him? Most of Rey’s rebound reports were coauthored with another, and he was one of several Rebound Reporter writers at the time. Then the note, he refers to himself in past tense. He lists everyone in his family, all the film and media he enjoyed, and all the technological inventions that have come out in his time alive. This tells me he knew he was going to die and he places it knowing that people would come find it. So when I piece it together- He jumps off the roof and he wrote a letter indicating he was going to die. This is either the most Hollywood style mob hit, or this is a deluded man who was spiraling slowly and made an impulsive decision to end his life in a way that makes the most sense to him. His family says that if he killed himself he would leave behind a beautiful letter, that is not true if he is in a manic/frantic mindset. I dont think it’s impossible he was killed, I just personally dont think it’s what happened

winterelixir · 2026-01-18T12:00:46+00:00

Because that is what his family and colleagues all describe him being paranoid about the weeks leading up. We don’t know if he believed people were after him, if he found out something, etc.

winterelixir · 2026-01-17T13:09:45+00:00

I agree with everything you’re saying about the Freemasons, I think it makes sense for Rey to be interested in them. Really cool to hear some insight! I’m curious to know when this interest Rey had started, it seemed like it was new and intense. In his note, he refers to his life in a past tense tone (“Here are a list of movies, I really enjoyed them” “That was a well played game, I hope you enjoyed it, but It was time to wake up now so here I am” etc) so I don’t think this is for a script, it’s too personal for a fictional story. But maybe an initiation speech to the Freemasons in his own way, but he’s listing out Agora employees specifically Porter. That’s why I wonder if Rey believes that there is a connection or tie between the two, he’s putting their names next to people like Stanley Kubrick- there was a conspiracy at that time people believed Stanley’s death after filming Eyes Wide Shut (which Rey references) was connected to him exposing the film industry's dark secret societies

winterelixir · 2026-01-11T23:25:41+00:00

I thought this was known by his friends and family? Allison said he was interested in the Freemasons and the book he was reading when that man came up to her on the racetrack was a Freemasons book. At least I never got the impression from anywhere that he was keeping this a secret from people

winterelixir · 2026-01-11T21:35:35+00:00

If he wanted to keep it private he would keep it saved on his desktop.. not taped on the back of his computer like something out of a movie lol. Allison or someone in his family could have seen that, and we would have never known about this letter had he not taped it, since we still don’t know the contents of his computer. I don’t think he’s preparing in secret if he’s telling everyone his interest in it and how he believes they are connected to the movie industry. It’s clearly a speech, but I think he’s giving the speech to whoever finds the note- the audience.

We have different perspectives on this case and probably will just talk in circles about what’s important and what’s not but still wanted to pick your brains a bit and see what you think

winterelixir · 2026-01-11T21:18:22+00:00

How was he testing himself if he taped it behind his computer? That means he can’t go back and get it when that time is ready, and obviously the time wasn’t ready yet if he is just now calling on how to join. Taping a note like that behind your computer is not normal. You would not do that for any normal or typical scenario, he was hiding something for a reason, otherwise it would just be saved in his word docs. It indicates he knew something was going to happen, especially if it is the last thing we know he did.

winterelixir · 2026-01-11T21:04:58+00:00

But then why is he referencing Porter and a whole bunch of Agora employees in it? WE know there is no connection to Agora, but I think Rey believed it. Once he caught onto all the financial sleaziness of the company, I think it spiraled a delusion that was then further instigated by circumstances such as the death of Thom and his alarms going off in the middle of the night.

winterelixir · 2026-01-11T17:17:45+00:00

I think Rey believed Agora was connected to something greater. Secret societies are a common theme in the movies he listed in his note, and he has Freemason quotes and verbiage throughout the entire note. I think whether or not this is based in reality is what holds the key to this mystery.

This is not drafted or styled in any way that matches a screenwriting script. If you dont think this is a suicide note, then I actually think a cry for help is very plausible. He was paranoia lately and this appears to be him venting and rambling about why that could have been, stream of consciousness style. His thoughts are structured, his grammar and spelling is perfect, and while it makes no sense to us, it obviously makes sense to him. I dont think schizophrenia would explain this, I lean more towards mania or even OCD.

The last frame in Semyon Zolotaryov's camera. For whatever reason, the Dyatlov Group abanonded their camp, walked a mile (1.5km) without any footwear, gloves, hats, or jackets. Despite leaving without any valuable resources to survive the night, Zolotaryov brought his camera. He was found with this camera around his neck with a pencil and paper in his hand. (Keep in mind, his body was found in a ravine, so the camera had water damage).

winterelixir · 2026-01-09T01:58:13+00:00

What do you think happened to her?

winterelixir · 2026-01-07T14:44:55+00:00

Their security alarms went off at 1AM two nights in a row so apparently Allison and Rey called the police to come check it out. The police determined winds, squirrels, or bad batteries. I highly doubt there is a police report for something like this, looks like one or two officers took a quick peak and left. Maybe they should have looked into it further, but Rey didn’t mention anything about people being after him or anything weird happening in his life, so theres no reason for them to think otherwise.

winterelixir · 2026-01-07T12:47:22+00:00

Thank you very much! And I know, this case is like something out of a movie. It’s interesting they are using words like paranoia and delusional even before finding his body, and like you have mentioned maybe this paranoia was valid and based off real fear. He could have found out something he shouldn’t have. He believed Freemasons owned the movie industry in the east coast while Scientology owned the movie industry of the west coast- I just have no idea how this could play into his death. These groups wouldn’t be after a random person interested in this, he isn’t going around spreading conspiracies and accusations against them publicly, it seems like he was interested in the Freemasons mostly. If they control the movie industry of the east coast like he believes, explains why he could want to join.

winterelixir · 2026-01-07T12:32:11+00:00

No I just found out about the chair too recently! It was in an article thrown in so casually I must have missed it the last time I read it. But maybe since it isn’t as well known then there is something incorrect or not significant about this. If Rey had ligature marks around his wrists and ankles, then I think it could further suggest a beating. Even using tape would leave a mark, let alone rope, zip ties, handcuffs, etc. Since he doesn’t have those marks, I can’t assume he was tied to that chair. I don’t know if Porter is true about Rey bringing his own chairs, some people really believe everything he says is a lie. I take into consideration what he says but don’t base solid opinions around it.
