Russian police are currently looking into the possibility that a mysterious dead body is that of the serial killer, who would be 68 years old now if he were still alive. According to the local media outlet Shot, tests are being conducted on a decomposing male body found close to Akkermanovka, by the Kazakhstani border.
How did Valery Andreev evade capture for so long?
Truck driver Valery Andreev, despite never facing trial, remains suspected of heinous crime. In what is now regarded as a disastrous error, the Orsk Maniac, named after his hometown, eluded law enforcement for 12 years after being questioned and then freed on the grounds of "lack of evidence" at the time.
Years later, Russian police claimed to have "proof" that the truck driver had assaulted and killed eight women, but they were unable to track him down.
What made him one of Russia's most feared killers?
Law enforcement also suspects Andreev of being responsible for the kidnapping, assault, and killing of over 100 women who were reported "missing" in the Orenburg region of southwest Russia, near the Kazakhstani border, between 2006 and 2016.
Andreev might be the worst serial killer in Russian history if the accusations made by Russian police are accurate.
His possible bloody total would surpass that of former police officer
Mikhail Popkov
, also known as The Werewolf, who was found guilty of 81 murders in Siberia and admitted to two more.
The deceased man was wearing dark pants and a T-shirt that read, "Collection of 99 International Games." He fit the wanted descriptions of the suspected mass murderer because all of his teeth were gold, as per a report by the Mirror.
The cause of death for this corpse is still unknown. Reports of Andreev's "sightings" have been common since police offered a £15,000 reward for information.
Since he was added to Russia's federal wanted list in 2013, Andreev has been evading capture. He was regarded as a "peaceful and obedient family man" and was a married father of two, as per a report by The Mirror.

BSP neta's daughter, youth found dead in Ayodhya hotel
Ayodhya: In a suspected case of murder-suicide, daughter of a Bahujan Samaj Party functionary was shot dead by her 22-year-old 'friend', who then turned the weapon on himself. Their bodies were found in a locked room at a homestay near Devkali bypass in Ayodhya on Sunday evening. The woman was identified as Aroma Rawat and the youth as Ayush Kumar Gupta. Police said the duo had checked into the homestay around 10:10am on Sunday and was allotted room number 103 on the second floor. Around 5pm, a waiter knocked at their door to deliver tea, but received no response. The homestay owner alerted police. A team led by circle officer, Ayodhya, Ashutosh Tiwari, arrived and broke open the door. Both the victims were lying on the bed with gunshot wounds on their foreheads. A pistol was found near Ayush's leg with two cartridges on the floor. Forensic experts and SP (city) Chakrapani Tripathi also reached the spot on receiving the news, and collected evidence.
