Rolling prairies of lush grass billowing in the wind; snow-capped mountains looming in the distance; it sounds like a heavenly landscape that only exists in a fever dream. Despite the ever-dwindling natural areas of the United States, Alaska remains a mostly-untouched and wild state where fever dreams become a reality. This beautiful haven comes at the cost of being around large populations of some of the most deadly predators on the continent: Grizzly Bears, and for most people that is enough of a deterrent to avoid making Alaska a bucket-list destination. or at least enough to do some research and be prepared for such a wilderness.
Timothy Treadwell did none of these things. Facing the elements - and the animals - alone and without protection, Park Services and visitors thought of him as just another lunatic out to get himself killed - but nobody could have anticipated that Timothy would risk bringing other people into his deadly game of cat-and-mouse.
Joining us for this ridiculous story backed by uncovered Government documents is none other than Samantha and Traci, hosts of The Suspended Sentence Podcast. With a history rich in professional mental health and predator preparedness in Bear country, these two help dispel myths and navigate a twisted road through Timothy's childhood, his deteriorating mental health, and the poor victim who just wanted to love him.
This episode contains graphic content including authentic audio descriptions from witnesses, detailed autopsy findings, mental health issues, adult language and more. Listener discretion, as always, is advised.
