ZIGZAG, Ore. — Authorities say they are investigating whether an adult female cougar they killed at the site of a fatal attack on a human is the same animal that killed the 55-year-old hiker. U.S. Department of Agriculture officers killed a cougar Friday that appeared at the site of the deadly attack near Mt. Hood, the state’s highest peak, by a cougar on Diana Bober, an avid and experienced hiker. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife says in a news release that the cougar’s body will be taken to the U.S. The laboratory will analyze the evidence to determine if the cougar is the same one that killed Bober.
