Authorities searched Monday for a grizzly bear that attacked and killed a woman on a trail west of Yellowstone National Park near the Montana-Idaho border.
Authorities have not decided whether they would kill the adult bear if it’s captured or whether they would relocate it, Jacobsen said.
“She lived for experiences,” Janet Adamson said, adding that her daughter did not care about material possessions and died “doing what she loved.” She had been working nearby and often ran or walked on the trail in the early morning, according to officials and local residents. Local resident Bill Youngwirth said people in the area were aware of the mauling and the forest closure, but they weren’t panicked over the attack because the bear could have struck out defensively after being surprised when the victim came around a corner.
A trail camera captured an image of a grizzly bear with two cubs in the area on Saturday night. There have been no sightings since, Jacobsen said. Traps set for the bears on Saturday and Sunday nights came up empty, and attempts to locate the bears from an aircraft were unsuccessful.
