3. Timothy Treadwell and Amy Huegenard
Timothy Treadwell was an American man who was passionate about bears and was the founder of a bear-protection organization known as Grizzly People. He was titled the ”grizzly man” and was very popular for his bizarre desire to live among wild animals in their natural habitats.
Treadwell and his girlfriend, Amy Huegenard, went camping in Katmai National Park and Preserve, Alaska, which is home to approximately 3,000 Native American brown bears. The man filmed a few close-up “rendezvous” with some of them, but one of the bears didn’t like them very much.
On the day they were supposed to go home, their taxi driver, Willy Fulton, came to pick them up but discovered that their campsite was empty. He saw a bear lingering nearby and decided it was better to call the park rangers.
The experts found their bodies torn apart and somewhat consumed by the animals. They reviewed the audio captured by a camera that had been running during the attack and figured out that the bear first came to their tent at night and attacked the man. Even though Timothy Treadwell mentioned that he was a bit anxious about one of the bears in the park, he didn’t want to carry any weapons or bear spray.
One of the experts who analyzed the footage and the case of these two dead victims suggested that the same bear that appeared in Treadwell’s footage (aka the one that made him uncomfortable) might have been the one that killed them.
