Authorities in Gallatin County, Montana are seeking the public’s help to find the killer who brutally hacked an innocent man as he slept in his tent in the wilderness earlier this month.
Dustin Mitchell Kjersem, 35, was found dead with chop wounds all over his body inside his tent near Big Sky on Saturday.
Kjersem who was last seen alive on Oct. 10, was found by a friend who grew concerned when he did not show up for a meeting.
“This incident was a vicious attack, and detectives are working hard to develop and track down leads,” Sheriff Dan Springer said.
“A suspect has not been arrested at this time.”
Springer urged people to be vigilant as the cold-blooded murderer remains at large.
“We do know that someone was out there who killed someone in a very heinous way so if you’re out in the woods you need to be paying attention, you need to remain vigilant,” the sheriff added.
“We are going to need the public’s help on this one. It’s likely going to take someone who saw someone, heard something, or saw two individuals up at this campsite.”
