MIKE PETERSEN'S MYSTERIOUS DEATH
Mike Petersen decided to go solo-hiking in the park on June 4, 2017.
His wife Bonny dropped him off at the trailhead that morning, and he called her throughout the day whenever he picked up cell service.
On that day, he was wearing a bright orange vest and waders and was carrying a gun, reported.
Mike had spent a fair amount of time in the West Yellowstone area in the past four months.
Bonny planned to pick him up at the trailhead around 6pm that night, but he never showed.
She waited and searched around the trailhead until 7.20pm when she heard four gunshots in the woods which she thought was a signal from her husband.
