Axe Murderer Might Be Roaming Woods Near Idaho, Montana Border
More details are being released in the case of a lone camper near the Idaho / Montana border who was found slain in his tent several days ago. Police initially believed the death may have resulted from a bear attack, but have recently started investigating the incident as a homicide due to unusual wounds on the body.
The Gallatin County Sheriff's Office in Bozeman, Montana is heading the investigation into the case of camper Dustin Kjersem who was found deceased by a friend in the forest near Big Sky on October 12, according to details shared by toofab.com. Big Sky is a community in southwestern Montana close to both the Idaho and Wyoming borders.
If the victim's axe was stolen by the perpetrator, then there could be an axe-wielding murderer camping out or living in the region somewhere.
The "chop" wounds to Kjersem's head and torso were described as those that could have been inflicted by an axe, according to toofab.com. Kjersem's friend who discovered his remains told investigators that several items were missing from the tent, including an axe, revolver, and cooler.
With Halloween arriving this week and new details about this case being released on Monday, this story resembles something right out of a horror movie countdown. If the victim's axe was stolen by the perpetrator, then there could be an axe-wielding murderer camping out or living in the region somewhere.
