Relatives of a missing Dagestani man have identified him as one of the victims of what appeared to be a neo-Nazi execution video posted last year, according to a June 4, 2008 report by the Kavkazsky Uzel web site. Kistaman Udamanov told police that her brother Shamil went missing in Moscow in mid-August of 2007. He had traveled to the capital to work earlier that summer and had been in regular contact with his family. Ms. Udamanov told police that she recognized her brother by face and by the clothes the victim is seen wearing in the video before he is supposedly murdered. Police reportedly responded by telling her that they had found the location where the video was shot, but that there were no traces of any bodies there. The video led to much speculation on Russian language websites about its authenticity, and at least one person was prosecuted for posting it, but its creators have never been found.
