Claim: In August 2024, U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admitted to dumping a bear carcass in New York's Central Park a decade earlier, staging the scene to look like a bike accident. After a long dinner at Peter Luger Steak House, however, he realized he had a plane to catch and couldn't get the bear carcass back to his freezer. "I said, 'Let's go put the bear in Central Park and we'll make it look like [it] got hit by a bike.'" He drove to Manhattan and, as darkness fell, entered Central Park with the bear and a bicycle. Dr. Lana Ciarniello, a bear expert … guessed that someone killed the bear and took it to Central Park.
