The mystery surrounding the shocking homicide at the Burning Man festival, where a 37-year-old Russian man was found dead in a pool of blood, remains unsolved, police told Fox News Digital.
While investigators in Pershing County are appealing to the public for help, the case has “no update,” per Sheriff Jerry Allen’s office Sunday.
The death of Vadim Kruglov happened over a week ago, on Aug. 30., but detectives have yet to identify a suspect.
The tragedy unfolded between 8 and 9:30 p.m., just as the festival’s iconic wooden effigy, known as The Man, was set ablaze in front of tens of thousands of revelers.

Officials are continuing to treat the case as a homicide.Â
“We are seeking information regarding any suspect identifiers for any person who would commit such a heinous crime against another human being,” the sheriff’s office had said in a Sep. 3 statement.
Kruglov’s father, Igor, released a video message from Russia expressing his anguish and calling for justice.Â
“Words can’t express my feelings,” he said. “I’m proud of my son, now known worldwide. He felt injustice deeply and fought for fairness always. I believe a similar situation occurred here. I want those responsible to face consequences.”
A GoFundMe has also been organized to return the remains of the body, KOLO 8 News Now reported.
