The 39-year-old woman went for a walk with her dogs on Friday evening, April 30, in Trimble, Colorado. Her boyfriend returned home and found only dogs there. He searched for about an hour and found her body.

When Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) employees responded to the call, they found signs of an attack by wild animals on the body, as well as a large amount of bear droppings and fur at the scene.

Teams and a search group of dogs found a female black bear and two cubs nearby. The bears were euthanized and taken to the CPW wildlife health laboratory in Fort Collins for autopsy.

“Every time an animal is euthanized, we receive many questions about why this action was necessary,” said CPW Director Dan Prenzlow. “We have many responsibilities to our state's natural resources, but we have no greater responsibility than to manage those resources in a way that keeps Coloradans safe.” Euthanizing wildlife is never an action taken lightly by our officers, but we have a responsibility to prevent additional avoidable harm.”

“Once a bear injures or kills people, we don't want to risk it happening to anyone else,” Cheek said. “We are humanely euthanizing this bear due to the severity of the incident.”

“Bears will return to a food source again and again. A bear that stops being afraid of people is a dangerous animal,” Chick said. “And this mother bear taught her cubs that people are a source of food, and not something to be feared and avoided.”

A CPW pathologist said the bears showed no signs of illness or other abnormalities, but further testing would take up to two weeks.

An autopsy of the woman is expected to be performed on May 4 at the La Plata County Coroner's office. The coroner will establish the official cause of death and formally identify the remains.
