The Blue Sports Bag - A Russian...

Sergey Mikhalkin

Tomsk, Russia, July 2017. On a sweltering summer morning, a dog-walker by the murky Mokrushina pond finds a dark-blue sports bag propped in the dog-rose bushes — and inside it, the first fragment of a dismembered young woman. The veteran detective who tells this story assembles a victim from missing-person reports: Viktoria Povesma, twenty, a law student who never came home from a warm evening in Lagerny Garden. A single around-the-clock intersection camera holds the unbreakable truth — three people walked into an apartment on Krasnoarmeyskaya Street, and only two walked out, carrying bags that hadn't been there the night before. Luminol lights up a scrubbed bathroom in cold blue fire. A paroled robber named Aleksandr Altapov raped the girl, strangled her to bury a parole-breaking charge, then carved up her body and scattered the parcels across the city while his common-law wife washed the floors. At a December jury trial Altapov gambles everything on a mythical "third person" — but the camera rules him out, and twelve jurors answer four times, unanimously. Entry #8 in The Wolfhound Files — Russian true crime narrated by the detective who closed the case.
