The enigma surrounding the brutal murder at the Burning Man festival, where a 37-year-old Russian individual was discovered in a pool of blood, continues unresolved, according to police statements to 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 incident took place between 8 and 9:30 p.m., coinciding with the festival’s iconic wooden structure, The Man, being set aflame in front of a vast audience of festival-goers.

Officials are continuing to treat the case as a homicide. 

“We are appealing for any information related to suspects involved in committing such a dreadful act against another person,” the sheriff’s office mentioned in a statement on September 3.

Kruglov’s father, Igor, released a video message from Russia expressing his anguish and calling for justice. 

“I am at a loss for words,” he expressed. “I am proud of my son, now recognized globally. He had a deep sense of justice and consistently stood for fairness. I am convinced something similar occurred here. I want the individuals responsible to be held accountable.”

A GoFundMe has also been organized to return the remains of the body, KOLO 8 News Now reported.
