[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1058993, member: 4191"] Exactly. The cause of "nut case" may have been genetic. But the decision to impose nut case risk on the girlfriend was pathetic, in retrospect. Treadwell should have known better - thus "nut case". The girlfriend was likely lulled into a false sense of safety by Treadwell. Here's a pretty good documentary, summary, and analysis of the killing of Treadwell and his girlfriend, Amy Huguenard: [url=http://www.yellowstone-bearman.com/Tim_Treadwell.html]Timothy Treadwell Incident--A Full Report and Examination[/url] Alaska is huge, geographically. Small in population, which can result in a lot of "it's a small world" comments. I've met two of the first responders. One at my neighbor's house. US Park Service ranger pilot A. Gilliland.
