Family reported them missing on Sunday after they didn’t return from a walk on the trail — described as a roughly five-minute drive from their home — on Saturday afternoon.
Balcarras’s (mother, 48) remains were discovered Monday in the Snooka West Trail area, the conservation officer service said. In a later update, officers said the second victim in the case was located dead on Tuesday afternoon.
Trapping efforts are underway but no bears have been captured.
Last year, a group of children and teachers were attacked by a grizzly near Bella Coola, leaving several critically injured on a trail south of Highway 20.
