Share this @internewscast.com

In February 2004, a scenic hiking path in Idaho transformed into a significant crime scene when 58 poisoned elk-meat “meatballs” were distributed across a region known for its wolf population.

The perpetrator’s aim? Eliminate the endangered gray wolves. What ensued was an exceptional investigation marked by forensic analysis, environmental expertise, and relentless determination.

In this installment of Zone 7, Crime Scene Investigator Sheryl McCollum and Ed Newcomer, a former special agent with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, detail the forensic breakthroughs that linked the toxic substance, the elk meat, and even a pair of boots directly to the crime scene.

Along the way, you’ll hear how a rookie game warden’s decision to bag “yellow snow” ended up sealing the case.
