Missing Tyke Attacked by Animal, Officials Say
From Times Wire Reports
Authorities said they believe a 3-year-old who vanished on a mountain hike in 1999 was attacked by an animal, probably a mountain lion.
Jaryd Atadero’s clothing was found last week in rugged terrain not far from where he disappeared, said Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden.
Jaryd had been running ahead of his church group while hiking in the Comanche Peak Wilderness Area west of Fort Collins when he disappeared on Oct. 2, 1999.
