The one posing as a llama Ivaylo Kalushev – the Mexican, together with 15-year-old Alexander Makulev and 22-year-old Nikolay Zlatkov, witnessed what happened.

After that, there is information that in the early hours of Monday they left the hut “Petrohan“ in a jeep branded with the inscription of the “Mountain Rescue Service“ and headed to the village of Bulgari in Strandzha.

According to initial information, they spent two days there, after which their traces were lost. It turned out that the Mexican bought a house in the village in 2022, which he also used as a base.

From there to the border with Turkey is about 10 km. There is also the "Maharata" cave, which is believed to have unexplored galleries leading to Turkey.
