Summary

A black bear, found dead with a gunshot wound in remote Burlington, Connecticut, has sparked a baffling investigation. Weighing 200 pounds, the bear was dumped in a wooded area with no signs of struggle—raising suspicions it was killed elsewhere and staged. With bear sightings rising in the region and legal protections in place, authorities are scrambling to find who’s responsible. Without surveillance or nearby witnesses, solving the case hinges on public tips. Forensics won’t help much since animal cases aren’t prioritized—but investigators believe locals know something. In tight-knit communities, word travels fast—and they’re counting on someone to speak up. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
