Imagine waking up to the shocking news that your friend was brutally murdered while camping in Montana. This is what Dustin Kjersem's friends and family faced when he was discovered dead in his tent. Authorities now suspect a killer is on the loose, having taken some key items from the crime scene. Two weeks ago, a gruesome discovery was made. Dustin, a 35-year-old skilled tradesman and loving father, was found dead in his tent. At first, it appeared he had been attacked by a bear. However, investigators quickly realized this wasn't the case. They found evidence of a vicious attack and an autopsy revealed multiple chop wounds, including to his skull. The suspect is still at large, and authorities are looking for some peculiar items. They believe a large axe, a shotgun, a revolver, and a YETI cooler were taken from the scene. These items could hold vital clues. The sheriff's office has urged the public to be on the lookout for these items and to report them immediately if found. Investigators are working tirelessly to solve the case. They've received tips from the community and are following multiple leads. The remote location of the crime scene, with no cellphone service, makes the investigation more challenging. The sheriff has asked for the community's help, stating they don't yet know if there's a threat to the area. Dustin's sister, Jillian Price, expressed her frustration and grief. She wants the world to stop and help find her brother's killer. A GoFundMe campaign for Dustin's children has raised over $24, 000.
