Man or Bear? The question has sparked a wild controversy online. It's also the source of inspiration for this episode about a chilling mystery that happened back in 2003, when a strange man and a grizzly bear crossed paths - and two people turned up dead. Was it a force of nature? Or cold-blooded murder?
