Bigfoot Kill Ranger Randy Morgenson?

Did Bigfoot kill ranger Randy Morgenson? On June 21, 1996,  back country Park Ranger Randy Morgenson started a 3 to 5 day patrol into the high Sierra in King's Canyon National Park in California. He was a veteran of 28 years, and no one knew the back country like Randy. No ranger walked slower or turned around to look behind himself more than Randy did. Slowing down and observing everything, everywhere was his practice and something he encouraged every hiker to do. This 3 to 5 day patrol was probably no exception though he did carry himself as if he were somewhat depressed. Rangers who knew him could see it. Randy never returned from his patrol. A married man, he had been having an affair with a female back country ranger, and his wife had consequently served him with divorce papers. He didn't want to leave his wife, but he couldn't commit to her either. He was a tremendously self-absorbed individual as well as a person who had a great love of the mountains. Like his father, he was a beloved guide to the visitors to his park. His marital difficulties including a depression set him up for theories after his disappearance that he had either committed suicide or gone to another country. Yet many rangers said he loved his friends too much to do either even though he had been making a lot of apologies for past behavior shortly before he vanished.
     Five years after his disappearance, parts (not all, by any extent) of his skeleton were found along with his gear. They were found in a one hundred yard stretch of a brook that was only a foot deep and under a nine-foot waterfall at the end of that 100 yard stretch of the shallow stream. It was an absolutely beautiful, tranquil spot. What was there that would kill Randy? That remained the question. One theory was that he fell into a deep water hole elsewhere, drowned, and his body got pushed into the little brook by a rock or snow slide. An alien abduction was seriously offered by one ranger because his death made no sense. An attack by a cougar was entertained until two objections were heard. One was made by a searcher who had encountered a mountain lion and her cub at this very stretch of the brook (but hadn't seen Randy or any of his clothes or gear). The mother cougar had immediately run as soon as she identified the noisy searcher as a human being. The cub was not so sure and hesitated, still thinking he was supposed to attack. But the cougar cub eventually reconsidered and went after his mother instead. The lions in that area were hardly man-eaters. The second objection was that everyone knew that if Randy saw a cougar, he'd sit down and share his lunch with him. He was that sort of person. To be continued tomorrow.
