Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator TF Zamiski:

I spoke with this witness on 5/14/08 and there are a few details to add.

Around 9pm that night a scream was heard followed soon after by coyotes sounding off and dogs at other camps barking. The scream lasted for what seemed like about 30 seconds but could have been less. This exchange of an occasional scream and coyote calls lasted for about a couple hours. The scream was described as like a train whistle and louder than the coyotes. They could hear the coyote calls from slightly different directions as the animals moved about in the distance, the scream came from that same direction as the coyotes.

The next morning around 4am this witness was awakened by what was described as heavy footsteps close to their tent. He listened for several seconds and noticed an odor. The tent was open and the zipper damaged as though it was forced open. He stirred for a few seconds while gathering his spotlight. About 50 yards away in the direction the footsteps seemed to be heading the ground rolled down and away toward a canyon.

There were other campers in the area with only one unattended camp nearby.
