They went on a nature hike and disappeared: DNA tests revealed the chilling truth

A mother and daughter went on a hike in Canada and disappeared. DNA tests linked a grizzly bear and her three cubs to their deaths. Investigators determined it was a rare predatory attack.

A mother and daughter from western Canada went on a hike in a wooded area and disappeared. DNA tests linked a grizzly bear and her three cubs to their deaths. Jenny Blackers (48) and her daughter Sela Reed (20) were found about 150 meters apart; the young woman's remains were discovered in a location where bears typically cache food. Investigators assessed it was a rare predatory attack, not a defensive attack. All four bears were captured and euthanized. Following the attack, a voluntary curfew was declared in the area, and children were escorted to schools. The article uses words like 'chilling' and 'tragedy' to describe the event.
