The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission has confirmed that the DNA of a black bear killed in Newton County does not match the bear responsible for a camper’s death.
A forensic lab in Florida confirmed that the DNA collected from the black bear killed in Newton County on Oct. 4 does not match the bear responsible for the death of 60-year-old Max Thomas of Springfield.
The agency will continue to search for the bear that was responsible for death of Max Thomas.
