Warning: You’re never alone in nature, ever.

Charles’ body was torn apart. His arms and legs were eaten away.

He had deep cuts all over his body. And there was a blood trail from his body to a tree.

It appeared that Charles didn’t attempt to use his gun to shoot at whatever attacked him. The gun remained in its holster.

Meanwhile, Charles’ camera lay a few feet from his hand.

And a look into the camera revealed a horrific story.

Charles Was Forty

Charles Gibbs was a forty-year-old man from Libby, Montana, United States. And he was married to Glenda.

Charles and his wife Glenda both worked for the public schools in Libby. Glenda was an elementary school teacher, and Charles drove a school bus.

The pair bonded over their love for the outdoors.

Charles had a passion for wildlife photography. He had some of his photos in the local paper. But Charles’ dream was to publish one of his wildlife photos in a weekly publication called Hungry Horse News.
