Nina Fesvitiyanova was 91 years old. She left her home on the night of January 30-31 and went missing. Volunteers and police searched for her, but her body was not found until February 1. According to eyewitnesses, she was found not far from her home, frozen to death.

«Nina Vladimirovna was found to the right of the path behind the house. The body was covered with snow, so they did not immediately realize it was a person. She was wearing house slippers on her bare feet,» a subscriber in the «Incident Nizhny Tagil» group said.

This was the first time Nina Vladimirovna had disappeared in this way. Her family regularly visited her, bringing food and medicine. The information that the pensioner was found dead has been confirmed by the LizaAlert volunteer search and rescue organization.
