A suspect in the killing of Dustin Kjersem in Montana, initially thought to be a bear attack, is in custody. The suspect, who is currently being held on unrelated charges, is cooperating with detectives and has led them to important evidence. The suspect acted alone and there is no threat to the community. Kjersem’s body was found in his tent with multiple chop wounds, not by a bear as initially believed. Kjersem was last seen on October 10 and his body was found two days later in a remote area. The killing is still under investigation as items were reported missing from the campsite, including a shotgun, revolver, cooler, and ax. The sheriff expressed condolences to Kjersem’s family and hopes for some peace during this difficult time. The community mourns with the family as they await justice for Kjersem’s death.
