"Hill said he will attempt to transcribe the tape. But there are no plans to make the recording or transcripts public, trooper spokesman Greg Wilkinson said. "

So you can click on the link, no audio. Dammit

"An air taxi pilot who arrived to pick up the couple contacted the National Park Service and troopers to report a brown bear was apparently sitting on top of human remains in the camp."

There's your mental picture though. :D

Lovely.

What have the recent string of events with wild animals attacking taught us, boys and girls? Wild animals are called "wild" for a reason...and should be treated as such.

You can hear everyone is Chicago say in unison "Da Bears".

I feel bad for them, but at the same time I have to repeat ... It was bound to happen.

Since I live in Alaska, I've heard a lot about this. These guys have been getting too close to bears for years. Guess they found a hungry one.

Edited to add: Here's a link from our local newspaper....

Oh man. I've heard of that guy... My mother saw him in a park in Alaska and she said he was a moron with the bears. But it doesn't seem like that had any bearing on this particular attack... not if it happened at night, in the campsite, all surprise-like. That's really horrible. I wonder how one bear got them both. Morbid curiosity.

"Treadwell was known for approaching, even touching, bears in the wild."

Talk about asking for it.
