INW: Wolves Suspect In Alaska Death

In this 2009 photo provided by the Lake and Peninsula Borough School District, Candice Berner, an Alaska special education teacher, holds up crab caught on a school district outing. Autopsy results announced Thursday, March 11, 2010, indicate Berner, 32, died March 8, 2010, in an animal attack outside the village of Chignik Lake, Alaska. Based on wolf tracks and other indications at the scene, Alaska State Troopers say Berner likely was killed by wolves but that the kind of animal cannot be determined without additional testing.
