IIRC, it happened in April, 1994 or so. She was jogging (perhaps with ear buds/walkman) on a trail south and east of Auburn, Calif. She was on a well-used trail, just NEof Cool, Calif. There was a 30-50-70 miles endurance ride that same day. She apparently was taken down from behind, and dragged off the trail, killed with a crushing bite to the back of her skull, partially eaten, and partially covered with leaves for the female to come back for more.
The leaders of the 70 mile participants of the endurance raide were ascertained to be on the trail at the same spot about 15-20 milutes of the woman being taken down. Since the riders are recorded at various checkpooints for a number of reasons, this information was deemed accurate.
The riders that day felt very fortunate they didn’t get attacked.
It sure put a damper on the whole weekend event.
Mountain lions are getting bolder and bolder and more numerous since the touchy-feely voters gave them a pass.
It has led to alot of SSS= Shoot-shovel-shut up in the ranching community.

Good for us, one less nut case and she would probably poison the wolf. The wold would die from a “toxic stupidity syndrome” OD.

Why did they have to kill the cubs?
If they're covered in meat sauce. :)
"We are absolutely not involved," said Mr. Mersereau. "We focus our efforts on accomplishing things and this doesn't fit in that category."
Yeah, I'm sure that is technically true. They use their terrorist cell ELF to do the real dirty work.
