Last month, the Pershing County Sheriff’s Office revealed the suspected murder weapon involved in a man’s death at the Burning Man festival.

FOX News Digital reported that the sheriff’s office has released a generic image of the presumed knife, aiming to utilize its characteristics to help locate and catch the perpetrator.

The office mentioned, “Currently, the suspected weapon is with the Pershing County Sheriff’s Office. Evidently, the victim suffered from a stab wound to the neck,” according to their statement.

The weapon was reportedly found next to Vadim Kruglov’s body at the festival.

Kruglov, originally from Russia and residing in Tacoma, Washington, was discovered deceased on August 30, coinciding with the burning ceremony at the festival. He was declared dead onsite.

Pershing County SO

A festival-goer in the Nevada desert’s luxury, avant-garde event notified a deputy upon finding “a male individual in a pool of blood,” as reported by the sheriff’s office.

The Burning Man Project expressed its commitment to “fully support the Sheriff’s investigation to ensure the culprit is apprehended and faces justice,” which includes organizing a contribution to the Secret Witness program, rewarding any tips that assist in the case, as per The New York Post.

Anyone with information should contact the Pershing County Sheriff’s Office at 775-273-5111, ask for Josh Nicholson, and reference case number 25-318. Tips can also be emailed to jnicholson@pershingcountynv.gov.

A $10,000 reward is available for information leading to the suspect’s arrest and prosecution, offered by the Secret Witness of Northern Nevada, in collaboration with Burning Man.
