The body of a 39-year-old woman in rural Colorado who went missing Friday morning while on a walk with her two dogs was found hours later by her boyfriend, and officials said there were signs she had been attacked by a bear.
In a search of the area, alongside Highway 550, near Trimble, about 10 miles north of Durango, state parks and wildlife officials found not one bear but three: a grown female black bear and two smaller bears around 1 year old. Officials euthanized them and found human remains in the grown bear and one of the yearlings.
“A dangerous bear that’s had a fatal attack and the consumption of a person is not something we can allow to be out there on the landscape,” said Jason Clay, a spokesman for Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
The man told police he arrived home around 8:30 p.m. and found the couple’s two dogs outside, but his girlfriend missing. The woman had earlier gone for a morning walk.
He searched a trail where she frequently walked the dogs, where upon an hour later he came across the woman’s body before notifying authorities.
The woman’s name along with her boyfriend’s have not yet been released by authorities.
‘Bear attacks are extremely rare,’
Using tracking dogs, wildlife officers located a 10-year-old sow and two yearlings nearby, and euthanized the three bears
‘out of an abundance of caution,’ officials said.
