Axe taken from crime scene after Montana camper's brutal murder, authorities say, as killer remains at large

Two weeks after a camper in Montana was savagely killed in his tent, authorities say they are looking for a large axe and other items that were likely taken from the crime scene.

Dustin Kjersem, 35, was found dead in his tent earlier this month by a friend who reported Kjersem appeared to have been killed by a bear — but officials soon discovered the camper was actually the victim of a brutal murder.

In a social media post, the Gallatin County Sheriff's Office said it's continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the homicide and asked the public to be on the lookout for a large axe and several items that are "believed to have been removed from the scene of the crime."
