BILLINGS, Montana - A Park National de Yellowstone spokesman said that two grizzly bears more were captured in an investigation into the death of mauling of the month last a Michigan man.
Park spokesman Al Nash said Wednesday that the adult male bears were captured Sunday in the Hayden Valley region, where 59-year-old John Wallace of Chassell, Michigan, was killed August 25 hiking alone in the hinterland of the Park.
Nash, said hair samples were collected by the animals for DNA testing. The bears were monitoring radio-collared and released.
