The body of 27-year-old journalist Andrei Pivovarov was found on 9 March 2001 beside a road in the Pskov Region. He had left home in Pskov the previous day and not been seen since.

Pivovarov worked with the regional Pskovskaya pravda newspaper but was about the move to the press service at the customs committee.

The police arrested a long-distance truck driver on suspicion of murdering Pivovarov.
