ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - An Alaska Fish and Game spokeswoman says state officials have located and killed two of the wolves believed responsible for the death of a teacher who was killed while jogging alone along a rural village road.
Blowing snow stymied earlier efforts to track the wolves near Chignik Lake on the Alaska Peninsula, but the weather cleared Monday evening.
Fish and Game spokeswoman Jennifer Yuhas says the wolves matched the description of wolves seen where Candice Berner was killed.
Village residents on March 8 discovered the body of the 32-year-old teacher surrounded by wolf tracks about a mile from the community, which is about 474 miles southwest of Anchorage.
An autopsy concluded an animal killed the woman and Alaska State Troopers say the animals involved likely were wolves.
