Earlier last month was supposed to be a fun camping trip, later to be a crime scene. Dustin - a 35 year old man - set up camp on thursday, october 10 in the moose creek area, about 35 miles soouth of Bozeman. He was planning to spend the weekend there with his girlfriend, but then his girfriend found him lying dead at the campsite. At first, when his girlfriend saw this, she thaught it could have been a bear attack that caused this because of how bad the wounds were, but later autopsys say otherwise. The man was murdered. The killer removed all of the items from the campsite that he thaught could tie him to the murder. One thing that the killer miseed is a beer can that he had previously drank from. This man, through DNA testing of the saliva on the can, was later known to be recognized as a 41 year old man named Daren Abbey.
Daren admitted to commiting the crime, and has four other arrests for DUI, raising his offense to the felony level. The ivestigation is continuing for what his motives were, if any.
What are your thoughts?
Do you have any questions?

What are your thoughts? I don't understand why Daren killed Dustin Kjersem and I wonder how bad Dustin's wounds were. I don't know why people even kill each other in the first place but this is a terrible story and the fact that it happened only a month ago is crazy. I believe Daren should be put in jail for life or death porol for his actions.
I do believe that what he did was wrong, but should'nt have life in prison. I believe that everyone should have a second chance.
I honestly do think that it is possible a bear could have done such a thing. Black bears tend to be very aggressive escpecially during mating season, and victims of black bears have similar injuries as those given by small hatchets. My question to you would be if it's possible that someone could have hallucinated such events given the beer can found?
That's an interesting theory, but sounds like the killer could have hallucinated from drunkeness, and say he did it even though it might have been a bear.
What are your thoughts? I think that this was a random murder and that they must have got into a fight or an argument. I wonder if It was a random thing or if it was planned, and if he told his girlfriend to go there just to help him.
My thoughts are that the man killed him for no reason and that the girlfriend had no cause in this murder, but a little bit of security such as a handgun could have prevented tragic death.
i think that this was a horrible things that could've been prevented. i believe that maybe the man could have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol if he did not know that man that he killed. But maybe something happened that made him want to commit such a horrible crime.
The website that I got the topic from said that he killed the man for the sake of killing the man. It truly is a horrible thing to happen.
I had never heard of this case before but it is interesting. I would like to have more information to know what his motive could have been like did he have any tie to this man? I also wonder how bad it was and what he did to him so that his wife would think that it was a bear attack
The link above goes to some more info on the topic that I might have left out. It the website says that there were no ties or relation to the murderer and the victim and there is still n knowledge of motive in this murder.
