Two news stories caught my eye, the first certainly bizaare and very sad, the second looking like it will also end badly.
Wildlife officers kill bear suspected of mauling 11-year-old boy
The kid was asleep in his family's tent when the bear cut through the tent and grabbed the youngster, sleeping bag and all. He screamed but was just gone, it happened so quickly. At first, the precision of the tear in the tent made the family think someone had abducted the child. Authorities found his body 400 yards from the camp. They have since confirmed that the bear shot was, indeed, the boy's attacker. Normally you think, don't taunt the bears, don't leave food out, and all will be well. This was scary, as there was no real warning, although other campers had apparently encountered the same bear in the area within hours of the attack.
Police search for missing pregnant woman
Her mother, having not heard from her, stopped by the house only to find it unlocked and her 2-year-old grandson alone. There were signs of a struggle, bleach was poured on the floor and a comforter and the woman's cell phone were missing. The little boy's words were chilling: 'Mommy's in the rug'. She was just days from the delivery of a little girl. Scary. Just scary. I hope they find her and the baby alive, but it does rather look like someone tried to conceal blood or otherwise hide something.
I feel for both of these families for such tragic situations.
