Thank you, Jorge, for taking the time and effort to create this video about Colin. I read this had been produced through a friend of Colin's and I tried to thank you as soon as possible, but I am so un-tech that I don't think it was posted. As Colin's mother, I am always touched by the continued love and support by those we don't know personally. It gives me great hope that we can make the world a more equitable and humanitarian place for all of us to live out our lives, because we all want the same simple things. It is not ok for the Russian government to simply not reply and in doing so not be culpable for their guilt. I can only hope that the US government will insist that corrupt governments air their dirty laundry, as light can disinfect. The US has the ability to punish these governments without harming the good citizens that are there by birth. Our two independent forensic reports indicate that Colin's death was a homicide by asphyxia. He was also beaten, bound and had not been deceased long before he was found. Bad police are bad police and they need to be weeded out everywhere, along with the corrupt government that shields them from punishments ."“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,” Edmund Burke. Colin was such a good and kind man and yes, it is a Brotherhood of Steel tag on his necklace 😊. Many thanks, again, Dana Madsen Calcutt

As an Argentine, I know what's like to deal with the injustice of a corrupt police. Cases like Collin's happen all the time here and I even got detained once for messing with a cop's relative. If it wasn't that I have some heavy weight relatives, most likely they would have killed me and cover it up like a suicide, like that police station did with so many others. Russian Police is a hundred times worse than our, because Russians have violence and alcohol ingrained in their culture and here not so much. Most definitely there was foul play by the criminal cops, and rest assured God will give them what they deserve. May God rest Collin's soul. God bless you.

his friends killed him, how would the cops know that he would leave to take a piss 4 in the morning, what exact cabin he was staying in, and that he would be alone? The witness accounts make 0 sense.

And the cockpit door immediately thrown open, and the captain stumbles out drink in hand rip roaring drunk, and stumbles out the plane first.

I have an explanation for the state of the body: Colin was undressed either before he died or soon after, so his body and clothes could be washed to get rid of evidence. Then they re-dressed him which was why his jewelry and socks were missing (small items that are easy to lose) and his shoes were untied and clothes were torn (it’s difficult to dress someone who’s unconscious or dead, and rigor mortis might have set in). Then he would have been dumped in the woods (explaining the pose he was found in- If two people lifted a body by the shoulders and legs and tossed it to the ground it would land in a similar position.) he was definitely killed somewhere else and his body dumped at the place it was eventually found.

I don’t think people in other countries OR EVEN people from city’s like Moscow can understand how hard it is to be a young person with modern knowledge of the internet, surrounded by those caveman and this mentality.

Great video. Love your channel. Also, another clue to the police lying about hypothermia: Victims of hypothermia generally die with their eyes closed on account that their body "falls asleep" before it shuts down. Doctors and scientists say that as the body shuts down from hypothermia, the person dying begins to feel warmth instead of bitter cold. Thus the reason they appear "sleeping" when found. I'm no mortician or death expert, but my understanding is that people who die with their eyes and mouth open are usually victims of a quick unexpected death or a violent, stressful death. I remember watching an interview with a serial killer in jail (name escapes me) who said his favorite part of murdering someone in cold blood was watching the eyes dilate before they died. A mafia hitman named Richard Kuklinski also mentioned the same thing. He said he'd kill men at point blank range and then stand over the body and watch until "the light in their eyes disappeared." Like I say, no expert on post-mortem stuff, but I think his death with eyes and mouth open would indicate something very stressful or quick and unexpected. I feel bad for him and his family. 🙁 Important Lesson: Russian Law Enforcement is sus af.

[@mandywalkden-brown7250]

No, people frequently die with their eyes open as they skip away. Their jaw relaxes after death and thus their mouth is open, especially if they’re lying on their back at the time. (RN of 40+ years, at the bedside of many patients’ passing.)

This isn't even an exclusively Russian thing either, my mom's baby brother & hundreds of other local men in Cabo San Lucas were just picked off the streets & neighborhoods by the local armed forces/police (they're the same thing in mexico) & have never been found. At least, the ones that WERE found were found by their relatives thru local efforts, so at least those families got closure. Also, apparently he had just bought a new motorcycle, and instead of keeping it after he disappeared his son sold it to some guy, and less than a week later that same guy was found dead in the middle of a field. So, if my cousin hadn't sold that motorcycle, he probably would have been next. Edit: it's been at least 4 years since my uncle disappeared, my grandma still refuses to believe he's gone for good. One of his neighbors had been the one to see the armed men take him away in a van & confirmed it was the same armed men you see at the border/toll roads all over the country. Thousands of relatives, mostly mothers & sisters, put everything they can into recovering their lost brothers, fathers, sons, but the government refuses to help, more than likely because they are the ones who cause the disappearances.

Strange that his bladder would still be full if he had been beaten to death,, fear and trauma would cause one to release his bladder. The fists closed are also strange. Strangest (to me) of many strange things in this case is that his body would not have gone straight to a pathologist's office for an independent autopsy, -that it was the morticians at the funeral home who found and documented his wounds. I mean, that really stands out. The first thing you would want is to determine the state of the body. That is what's going to show how a person died. But no mention is made of a second autopsy. As for as why he left the cabin in that state, that he went to pee makes the most sense. It seems to have been a one room cabin and no one was else was awakened,, and then just grabbed by people snooping on them. (we can only speculate). It would be good to know the dates and temperatures,, bc that could explain his body being preserved,, if its very cold, it slows decomposition, but nothing I can see explains not having a second, independent autopsy, performed on him. Anyway, sad story. Poor kid. He really seemed like a good person.

There's something wrong with that autopsy report. 17:36 Your bladder empties out within minutes after death, so there's no way Mr Madsen was found with a full bladder. Even if he was beaten, your bladder will empty out from the stress. Nah, Mr Madsen died within minutes of being placed under that tree. Placed in that position.

[@adamlevin438]

Full bladder when he died not when the autopsy was taken

[@mommy2libras]

The bladder sometimes empties at or right after death, especially when it's a high stress situation as with death, the muscles being contracted by stress loosen. However it's not some automatic thing that happens when every person dies. Plenty of people die with urine in their bladder that isn't released at all. If it isn't released by the time rigor sets in, then the muscles harden and contract again, though it may be released when the body passes out of rigor mortis because by then, the muscles don't just relax but cellular breakdown begins to happen. Gravity also plays a part- someone standing, sitting or reclined is more likely to release their bladder at the initial relaxation than someone laying completely flat, though this is also affected by factors like the health of the deceased and the fullness of the bladder.

Couple of questions: 1. His stomach contents should give a more determinate time of death, why wasn't that discussed? 2. What was the temperature during the times he was gone? Many people think hypothermia is caused by cold temperature but, it doesn't need to be that cold. The head trauma....could have that been caused by him running into a tree. He may have thought some wildlife was chasing him and he ran into a tree in the dark. It could have been his friends. They may have been goofing off (they were up until 0200 and hiking at 0500) an accident happened and he died. They left him there and went to bed. DO we know for sure he was in the cabin that night?
