  1. Mountain Lion Kills Female HikerJanuary 2, 2026 by David Jones A woman hiking alone was found dead near a mountain lion on the Crosier Mountain trail just before midday Thursday in the foothills south of this small Larimer County community, authorities said. Witnesses reported seeing the animal near the woman’s body and tried to scare it away by throwing rocks; first responders arrived minutes later but the hiker had no pulse. State wildlife officers and sheriff’s deputies launched a wide search in rugged terrain between Glen Haven and Estes Park, a gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. Investigators said signs at the scene pointed to a mountain lion encounter, though the official cause and manner of death will come from the county coroner after an autopsy. Wildlife officers later located two mountain lions in the area and euthanized them under agency protocol for suspected attacks on humans. Necropsies and lab tests will look for human DNA and screen for disease. If confirmed, it would be Colorado’s first fatal mountain lion attack since the late 1990s and a rare event in a state that estimates roughly 3,800 to 4,400 of the animals. Shortly before 12:15 p.m., two hikers on the remote trail segment spotted a mountain lion near a person lying on or just off the path, officials said. One of the hikers, a physician, attempted to render aid after the animal moved off, but the woman did not respond. Firefighters, sheriff’s deputies and Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers converged on multiple access points to reach the location, a forested slope above Glen Haven mottled with snow and rock outcrops. Crews established a perimeter while medics assessed the victim. A mountain lion seen lingering nearby was shot and fled into heavy cover; trackers and hounds later located the injured animal, which was euthanized. A second lion found in the vicinity was also euthanized as a precaution. Officials said it was too early to release the woman’s name pending family notifications. They declined to describe her injuries in detail, citing the ongoing investigation. The responding agencies included Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office, Estes Park Police and local fire districts. A sheriff’s spokesperson said there was no broader public safety threat once the perimeter was established, but trail users in the area were asked to avoid the scene for the rest of the day. “This is a heartbreaking incident in a place people go for peace,” the spokesperson said, adding that the area’s steep draws and dense timber complicated the search for the cats after the initial encounter. Colorado Parks and Wildlife emphasized that euthanizing animals believed to have attacked people is standard procedure to prevent further harm while evidence is gathered. Wildlife veterinarians will conduct necropsies on both lions, collect tissue samples and swab claws and mouths for DNA comparison. If laboratory work fails to find human material, officers could continue looking for another animal tied to the scene, though officials said current signs point to the two euthanized cats. The agency will also test for rabies and other pathogens; positive results are uncommon but part of the routine panel after human contact cases. Mountain lions, also known as cougars or pumas, range widely across Colorado’s foothills and mountains and are most active at dawn and dusk. Sightings around Glen Haven and Estes Park are not unusual, especially in winter when deer herds drift lower. Attacks are rare. State records list a few dozen reported incidents in more than three decades, most resulting in minor to moderate injuries. The last fatal case in Colorado dates to 1999, according to agency tallies. Officials said Thursday’s response will feed into a broader review of lion behavior around popular trail systems and seasonal patterns that draw people and wildlife into closer contact. The Crosier Mountain trail network climbs from canyon bottoms into mixed ponderosa and Douglas fir, with narrow benches and limited sight lines in places. The route sits just outside Rocky Mountain National Park on national forest land, popular with locals for half-day hikes and winter conditioning. Search crews staged at trailheads while a wildlife helicopter orbited to help spot movement in timber. By late afternoon, investigators had flagged a swath of ground for evidence, photographed tracks, and collected hair and scat samples. Rangers walked the trail out in both directions documenting distances to intersections, signage and any fresh human footprints around the scene. Larimer County’s coroner will determine whether the woman died from trauma consistent with a lion attack or from another cause before or during the encounter. That finding will drive how wildlife officials characterize the event in their annual reports and whether any management changes follow. The sheriff’s office is handling the death investigation alongside state officers, a common arrangement for serious wildlife incidents on public land. Officials said the autopsy could take several days, with DNA results arriving later from a state lab. Neighbors in Glen Haven said the canyons were busy on New Year’s Day with hikers and sightseeing traffic in fresh mountain air. “We heard sirens echoing up the draw and saw trucks heading toward Crosier,” said a resident who watched engines and rescue rigs pass the general store. Along the switchbacks above town, plumes of snow dusted the pines as crews rotated in and out of staging. A pair of hikers who came off the trail midafternoon described seeing taped-off sections and officers carrying evidence bags. “Everyone got very quiet,” one said, noting that a ranger accompanied them back to the lot. Thursday’s response followed a familiar sequence for serious wildlife incidents: secure the area, render aid, identify and remove any animals posing an immediate threat, and preserve the scene for investigators. Wildlife officers planned to revisit the site Friday morning to check for scavenging activity and to complete a grid search for additional trace evidence. Trail access around the core scene may remain restricted through the weekend while crews finish documentation and remove temporary markers. The sheriff’s office said any broader closures would be posted at trailheads if needed. Officials plan to release additional details after the coroner’s preliminary findings and the first round of lab results. They are also compiling a timeline that will include the initial witness call at around 12:15 p.m., the arrival of the first units, the shots fired at the first lion, the recovery of both animals, and the evacuation of personnel at dusk. Colorado Parks and Wildlife said its regional biologists will brief county leaders and land managers on early observations and will fold the incident into a seasonal update on wildlife-human interactions along the Front Range. By nightfall, the trailhead parking areas were mostly empty, with a light wind moving through the trees and a thin crust of snow crunching under the boots of the last officers leaving. A small cluster of residents stood near the store in Glen Haven, trading fragments of what they had heard. “It’s terrible,” one man said softly, tucking his hands into his coat as emergency vehicles rolled back toward Estes Park. The mountains went dark, and the road down the canyon emptied to the occasional set of headlights. As of Friday morning, the woman had not been publicly identified, and laboratory testing on the two euthanized mountain lions was still pending. Authorities said they expect to give the next update after the coroner issues preliminary results and biologists complete necropsies in the coming days. Author note: Last updated January 2, 2026.
  2. What position did ctj play?
  3. That's interesting. I'm not sure if moving Baker inside is a great idea - I hope he is for the move. If we lose Baker and don't keep Goosby away from the NFL, I don't know if it matters how much we spend: We would pretty much be fucked. And it would be nice if some of the staff's top targets were coming to visit this week. Are we going after the LSU transfers?
  4. Gotcha, I have been hitting F5 so much today that that seemed like old news.
  5. Enrolled in 2024. In 2025: Played in 13 games during the season...tallied seven tackles, one solo...had one solo stop in collegiate debut during season-opener against Marshall...also a stop against Kentucky...one tackle in win over Florida in Jacksonville... career-best three tackles in win at Mississippi State...made one stop against Texas.
  6. Did someone think that they hadn't?
  7. Biles is a much better linebacker.
  8. Sorry for your loss, I might have gone for the Caribbean though. Mixing with the sulfuric acid from the ship channel and the annual oil slicks of the Texas coast seems a little unsettling. I didn't know your mom grew up in NOLA. My parents met at Tulane.
  9. I think our QB money has been well spent. My point was that it feels like Sark neglects the OL position and focuses almost entirely on the skill positions - Kind of a 7v7 type of attitude.
  10. That would be typical of Sark to blow his wad on WR, RB, and QB and do jack shit on the OL. And yes, I place a lot of the OL line issues on Sark. However, Flood should have realized that his LG, center combo sucked balls. waiting patiently.
  11. The comments on X are pretty funny.
  12. Did I just see blatant cheating by the refs in the UGA game? No way to miss that facemask.
  13. Depends what you are talking about. They have some football players like Aaron Rodgers and Marshawn Lynch. They have some Olympians like Alex Morgan. They also have some pretty wealthy alumni like Steve Wozniak, Chris Pine and Carol Greider. Personally, I don't think he has cost himself shit.
  14. I wonder what this would do to Russian drone supply if it advances?
  15. This seems very European. Drunk bartenders, doing stupid shit. Poor fire retardation in the building with 200 year old wood rafters without fire resistant stain or fire resistant insulation. One exit that isn't easily accessible. No ceiling sprinkler system...
  16. Really, what if Ffrench and Lockett make triple what he makes? And he thinks he is better than those guys.
  17. My guess is Steve Spagnuolo. He has significant ties to the state, especially in and around El Paso, and should be able to get an endorsement from @Helobious.
  18. Big fan of Texas One Fund.
  19. Maybe, but there wasn't much separation. Perfect throw by arch after he got hit in the face on the earlier play.
  20. I saw a trainer holding Mosley's knee. IDK if an Achilles tear is much better Now it is an Achilles tear? I also saw a defibrillator when he was on the sidelines. I’m surprised that you didn’t put that scenario out there.
  21. Bluto: Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer... Otter: Dead! Bluto's right.
  22. Yeah it looks like he only played with the field goal unit so his high grading is pure BS.
  23. Why are we always connected to lower ranked guys, FCB?
  24. Don't know if this link will work - if it doesn't then I can post the whole interview. https://archive.is/PMdm1 The woman Putin tried – and failed – to break Adrian Blomfield - Senior Foreign Correspondent Maia Sandu is the Telegraph’s World Leader of the Year after defying the Kremlin to turn Moldova into Europe’s front line of democracy In 2025, Vladimir Putin went to extraordinary lengths to crush Maia Sandu, Moldova’s president. In this David-and-Goliath struggle, there should have been only one winner. Moldova is a poor country of just 2.4 million people, battered by an economic crisis sparked by the Ukraine war. The Kremlin funnelled a fortune into a campaign to unseat Sandu’s party in a parliamentary election that was arguably the world’s most consequential democratic contest of the year. Russia flooded the country with disinformation, fabricating claims that she was so devoted to “Western degeneracy” that she bought Sir Elton John’s sperm to give birth to a gay child. Yet against the odds, Sandu prevailed, preventing her country from becoming an agent of Russian influence that would have threatened Ukraine and the rest of Europe. It is not hard to see why Moldovans kept the faith. Unlike her boorish, corruption-tainted predecessors, she is scrupulously abstemious, living in a small flat and flying with budget airlines on official business. For her modesty, resolve and giant-slaying courage, she is a deserved inaugural winner of the title, Telegraph World Leader of the Year. Below is an excerpt from the article: Had she stumbled in this year’s poll, her role would have been reduced to symbolic meaninglessness, with a hostile pro-Russian government stripping her of meaningful power and threatening Moldova’s democratic future. The consequences for Ukraine would have been grave, further isolating it among former Soviet states. Western intelligence suggests the Kremlin hoped a friendly government in Chisinau would permit it to deploy 10,000 troops to reinforce the Russian garrison in separatist Transnistria, a Moscow-backed region that broke away from Moldova and shares a long border with Ukraine. Such a move would have imperilled Odesa, Ukraine’s largest port and maritime lifeline. “If Russia’s proxies had won, it would have meant that Russia would have run the country,” Ms Sandu says. But the Russian subversion campaign, she insists, was not just about knocking Moldova off its pro-European path or even opening a back door to Ukraine. Putin’s ultimate aim, she believes, was to turn Moldova into a hybrid warfare laboratory, rehearsing tactics that would then be deployed to interfere in and manipulate elections across Europe, from Hungary to Britain. “Moldova is one of the very few countries which has experienced the full range of Russia’s hybrid attack methods,” she says. “But the target is not Moldova. Moldova is just the testing ground. The target is Europe, and Europe should learn from us, from countries which are on the front line of the fight for democracy. Democracy on the continent is in danger.”
