New York. The New York Times published a story on Ötzi with a series of photographs provided by the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology titled “Who Killed the Iceman? Clues Emerge in a Very Cold Case?”. “It is the third time in the span of a few months that the New York Times devotes its attention to Ötzi and the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology. Similar feature stories were recently published by several other international newspapers” stated Floriano Flussner, the Alto Adigo Councillor for Museums. Rod Nordland, the author of the Ötzi New York Times feature story and photographer Dmitri Kostyukov visited the Museum two weeks ago where they interviewed the experts, Alexander Horn and Albert Zink, the Director, Angelika Fleckinger and the Vice-Director Katharina Hersel.
