UPDATE: Yellowstone park rangers and wildlife officials reportedly captured a 420-pound male grizzly near where hiker John Wallace was killed, but officials are waiting for DNA results to determine if the bear is the one responsible for killing the hiker. The bear was collared with a tracking device and released, according to reports.
Original story: Despite daily reconnaissance flights over the area where hiker John Wallace was mauled to death, as of Sept. 2 the grizzly responsible for killing the Michigan hiker remained at large in Yellowstone National Park and at risk to other hikers.
Spotting aircraft flying over Mary Mountain Trail where 59-year-old Wallace was enjoying some of his favorite park areas before his untimely death have resulted in very few bear sightings, park rangers said.
