A month later, Gridin committed the murders of Danzili Usmanova and Lyudmila Pozdnyakova, leaving a fingerprint at one of the sites.

On 25 November 1989, Gridin attempted another attack, but the girl gave him serious resistance, and he ran in fear, dropping his hat and glasses.

In 2000, Gridin appealed to the United Nations Human Rights Committee, which admitted that there were violations in his case.

However, the Russian leadership refused to release him, citing the fact that after his arrest, attacks on women ceased.

In 2013, the crew of the TV programme "Investigation conducted..." visited Dmitry Gridin in the colony in Vologda Oblast.
