RFK Jr. Reveals Bizarre Bear Incident After Nearly a Decade

In a surprising twist to a nearly decade-old mystery, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has finally opened up about how a bear ended up in Central Park back in 2014. Surprisingly, he’s admitting to his role in the bizarre situation.

The incident gained a lot of attention when a bear was discovered dead in Central Park, leaving many New Yorkers baffled. The story took over headlines, and police quickly launched an investigation. However, the case went cold as the years passed.

Fast forward to now, and RFK Jr. shared a video on social media explaining that he was on a trip to Goshen in the Hudson Valley when he witnessed a woman hit a young bear with her van. In an unexpected twist, he decided to take matters into his own hands.

RFK Jr. confessed during a conversation with comedian Roseanne Barr that he scooped up the bear and planned to keep it for meat. But after a fun night out with friends, he realized the carcass couldn’t keep forever, leading him to make a questionable decision.

He admitted, “I had an old bike in my car that someone had asked me to get rid of, and I thought let’s put the bear in Central Park and make it look like he got hit by a bike.” This bizarre plan ended up in the bear’s shocking discovery, as local resident Florence Slatkin stumbled upon the scene.

Slatkin shared how she found the bear and bike back in the day, initially thinking it was just a big dog. Speaking to Eyewitness News again, she expressed her amazement that she was discussing this odd event almost ten years later.

In light of this revelation, Kennedy reported that his decision to come clean was spurred by a New Yorker article exploring his political career, which was set to touch on this incident. Despite the confession, his campaign stated that he isn’t worried about any legal repercussions.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation had led the 2014 investigation, determining the bear died due to blunt-force trauma consistent with a high-speed collision. The case was closed due to lack of evidence to pursue violations.
