Montana Camper's Death Ruled Homicide, Not Bear Attack

Authorities investigate the murder of Dustin Kjersem, found dead with multiple chop wounds at a remote campsite.

Dustin Kjersem, 35, was discovered dead in his tent at a remote campsite in Montana, initially suspected as a bear mauling.
An autopsy revealed Kjersem died from multiple chop wounds, leading authorities to classify his death as a homicide.
The campsite, located in the Moose Creek area, was not in an established campground, complicating the investigation.
No arrests have been made, and it remains unclear if there is an ongoing threat to the public.
Authorities are seeking information from anyone with trail or game cameras in the area to aid in the investigation.
