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.

Trump could pardon Diddy, Bad Boy boss may get full reprieve before sentencing
US president Donald Trump is seriously considering granting Sean 'Diddy' Combs a full presidential pardon ahead of the music mogul's sentencing later this year, as per a report. Donald Trump Might Be Considering Presidential Pardon for Sean 'Diddy' Combs About two months after Trump floated the idea in the Oval Office, insiders reveal that a pardon for Combs is now 'seriously being considered' by the US president's team, as reported by Deadline. This comes as Combs could end up spending two to three years in a federal prison upon his sentencing on October 3 by Judge Arun Subramanian, as per the report.

Combs' Legal Team Expected to Appeal After Sentencing Despite being denied a $50 million bond and release from Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center since his arrest last September, an appeal is widely expected to be launched by the 10-attorney-deep defense almost immediately after sentencing occurs, as reported by Deadline. Live Events Although Combs' defence team, led by Marc Agnifilo and Teny Gerago, has remained tight-lipped on any pardon discussions, friends and associates have actively lobbied the White House for clemency, as per the report. While, a Trump administration official said, 'the White House will not comment on the existence or nonexistence of any clemency request,' as quoted in the report.

Even before the verdict of the trial was accounced, the US president said on May 30 that when it came to a Diddy pardon, he 'would certainly look at the facts if I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don't like me,' as quoted by Deadline. Over the years, their relationship has seen ups and downs, with Combs supporting former US president Joe Biden in 2020 despite previously being close to Trump, as per the Deadline report. Earlier than that, the US president and Combs had known each other for decades, with Trump even calling him a 'good friend' in 2012, as reported by Deadline. Critics Speak Out Against Possible Pardon The pardon talks have stirred controversy, drawing criticism from other celebrities like Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson, who has publicly vowed to oppose any pardon for Combs, as per the report. The Trump-ally rap star posted on social media, saying, 'I'm gonna reach out so he knows how I feel about this guy," as quoted in the Deadline report. New Push for Pre-Sentencing Release This week, Combs' legal team made another push to get him released from jail while he awaits sentencing, as per the report. Once again, they offered a $50 million bond and promised strict conditions, including limits on where Combs could travel and who he could have contact with, according to the Deadline report. Earlier in July, Judge Arun Subramanian gave both sides until July 30 to come up with a detailed plan for possibly letting Combs out for about two months leading up to his October 3 sentencing, as per the report. However, the Deadline found that the proposal might not be a joint proposal from the parties, though more documents from the defense might show up in the docket in the next 24 hours, as per the report. FAQs Is Trump really considering pardoning Diddy? Yes, reports say Trump is seriously weighing the idea ahead of Diddy's sentencing in October. What was Diddy found guilty of? He was found partially guilty on charges related to transporting individuals for prostitution, but acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering.
