Perhaps, but the “A Loop” where she was riding her bicycle is ~1,500 feet across at its widest point and heavily wooded. If she was attacked by a human, someone would have also heard her scream I would think.

I hope they find this poor child. What a nightmare!
If it was a person they would likely make efforts to ensure she could not scream, but an animal wouldn’t care about that I don’t think.
Bears are very dangerous, know they are not carnivorous, but that doesn’t seem to stop them from attacking people.
A grown man was killed by a bear in NJ a year or two ago. And he was not out in the wilderness, he was hiking in a park with a group of friends. I forget the details but the poor guy was killed.
