Dustin Kjersem, a 35-year-old man from Belgrade, Montana, was found dead in his tent on October 12, after a friend reported him missing. Initially thought to be the victim of a bear attack due to the severity of his injuries, investigations revealed he died from 'multiple chop wounds,' leading authorities to classify his death as a homicide. The Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office is seeking information from the public, urging anyone with vehicle or camera footage from the Moose Creek area to come forward, as no suspects have been identified. Sheriff Dan Springer expressed concerns for community safety, stating, 'We don’t know if there’s a threat to this community,' and advised residents to remain vigilant. Kjersem's sister described him as a loving father and skilled tradesman who did not deserve such a fate. The investigation continues as deputies work tirelessly to find Kjersem's killer.
