The Grizzly Man - Timothy Treadwell Killed.
The Grizzly Man Timonthy Treadwell Killed his campsite in Katmai National Park in the fall of 2003. His girlfriend, Amie Huguenard, was also killed. The Grizzly Man Timothy Treadwell , 46 was a self-described "eco-water"and Photographer Who lived among Alaska's,along his girlfriend Amie Huguenard,37.
The remains of Tim Treadwell, a self proclaimed eco-warrior and photographer, along with girlfriend Amie Huguenard, a physicians istant, both of Malibu California were found Monday October 6, 2003 in Katmai National Park and Preserve on the Alaska Peninsula after the air taxi pilot Willy Fulton, who had flown in to pick the couple up near Kaflia Bay, contacted the National Park Service and Alaska State Troopers to report that a brown bear was sitting on top of what appeared to be human remains near the camp.
For 13 summers Timothy Treadwell fled California for the wilds of Alaska, where he set his camp among some of the largest and most numerous brown bears left in North America.
Treadwell gained national celebrity status after his appearance February 20, 2001 on CBS's David Letterman Show, promoting his 1997 book "Among Grizzlies: Living With Wild Bears in Alaska", along with his close-up photographs and video footage, often showing him within arms reach of large brown bears or creeping on all fours towards a sow and her three cubs, talking in a soft, child like, sing song voice.
In this case, Wilkinson said, troopers are confident a bear was also responsible for killing the Malibu couple. Troopers are also convinced, he added, that the bear seen feeding on their bodies was the bear killed by Park Service rangers. There is no way, however, of knowing whether that bear or another shot by troopers at the scene did the actual killing.
