The killer who was being searched for a decade has now been found dead in a mine. He was accused of raping and murdering more than 100 women. He was identified by his gold teeth.

For more than a decade, his name kept people on their toes as the most dreaded serial killer. A monster who was accused of raping and murdering more than 100 women. He had kept an entire area in his terror. He was even caught once, but the police let him go citing lack of evidence. After this, who knows how many innocent lives had to pay the price for that mistake. Now, sensation has spread after the body of the same serial killer was found in a mine. A body whose teeth are made of gold.

100 women raped

Truck driver Valery Andreev, infamously known as the Orsk Maniac, is known as Russia's most dangerous serial killer. Andreev is suspected of kidnapping, raping and murdering more than 100 women in Russia's Orenburg region between 2006 and 2016. This area borders Kazakhstan. If these allegations are proved true, then Andreev will be Russia's biggest serial killer, surpassing 'werewolf' Mikhail Popkov. Mikhail was convicted of 81 murders in Siberia.

The reward was 17 lakhs

The police had released Andreev after questioning him 12 years ago due to 'lack of evidence', which is now being considered a big and fatal mistake. Later, the police revealed eight such cases in which Andreev had raped and murdered women. Andreev, who has been absconding since 2013, was included in Russia's wanted list and a reward of 15 thousand pounds (about 17 lakh rupees) was also placed for his arrest.

Mysterious corpse and shocking clues

Now this long and horrifying search has taken a new turn with the discovery of a rotten corpse in a mine near Akkermanovka area. The corpse was wearing a T-shirt with 'Collection of 99 International Games' written on it and dark pants. The most surprising thing is that all its teeth are made of gold, which completely matches the appearance of serial killer Andreev. The cause of death is still not clear, which has deepened the suspense.

The devil behind the common man

Andreev's neighbors describe him as a calm man. He behaved well with people. A father of two children and a lorry driver for about 15 years, this man appeared to be living a normal life from the outside. But a horrifying truth was revealed when a stash of condoms, women's underwear and hair clips was found in his truck. Many women like 19-year-old Ekaterina Morozova, 25-year-old Irina Nikolskaya, Olga Zhuravleva and Arzhan Urkumbayeva became his victims.

Did nature do justice?

If Andreev were alive, he would have been 68 years old. However, a big question is whether the body found by the police is actually his? Has nature finally taken revenge for his horrific deeds? The Russian police is now trying to solve this mystery and only the investigation will tell whether the Orsk maniac has really come to an end.
