The Grizzly Deaths of Timothy Treadwell and Amie Huguenard, Part 1: Timothy Treadwell's Rise to Prominence

After 4 years of waiting, Wes finally takes us through our most requested story: the tragic story of Timothy Treadwell, the Grizzly Man, and Amie Huguenard, who met their end when they were killed by an Alaskan Brown Bear in 2003. In this episode, we learn about Timothy's upbringing, how his passion for bears had its genesis, and how he was viewed by both people in the bear world and the public at large. We follow him at both the idyllic Grizzly Sanctuary and the chaotic Grizzly Maze, where he would spend 13 summers living with huge brown bears. We also hear about his motivations for being there with the bears, some completely fabricated and others relateably genuine. Finally, before ending episode one, Wes takes us to another location on the Alaska coast, where in the year 2000, a man is killed by a coastal brown bear and many people in the bear world feel as though Timothy might be racing toward a similar end.
