Anchorage homeless camp where cub was speared still attracting bears Print article The East Anchorage homeless camp where a black bear cub was speared to death last week was still intact Friday evening despite an eviction order from the city. Although the camp was not occupied by any people, a black bear was again rummaging through it. Illegal campers at Centennial Park were served with an eviction notice Sept. 24 by the Anchorage Police Department. The cub and a sow repeatedly returned to the camp for food. But on Oct. 2, David Tandler, 49, speared the cub to death. Initial reports from police claimed the campers killed the cub because it was trying to get into a tent with children, although when officers arrived no children were in the area.
