A suspect in the killing of Dustin Kjersem in Montana, initially thought to be caused by a bear, is in custody on unrelated charges. The suspect, who acted alone, is cooperating with detectives and has led them to evidence related to the case. Kjersem, 35, was found dead in his tent with multiple chop wounds, not from a bear attack as initially believed. He was last seen on October 10 in a remote area where people often made their own campsites. Items were reported missing from the campsite, including a shotgun, revolver, cooler, and ax. The investigation is ongoing, and there is no threat to the community. The sheriff expressed condolences to Kjersem’s family and hopes that their efforts will bring some peace during this difficult time.
