Klein, like Irina, has never been found. Alexseyev's dismembered remains were found just a few weeks after he was last seen alive.Quickly investigators uncovered a pattern; every two years someone Dmitriy knew vanished and within days he, and his wife, would reap the benefits of the missing persons bank account.
