The chilling message stands as direct evidence of the moment when a backpacking trip to enjoy fall foliage became a tragedy. 'So one of them had entered that into the inReach' manually, Colin Inglis told NPR. It was received along with an SOS signal, triggered by someone holding the device's emergency button for three seconds. The dire message was sent over a Garmin inReach satellite communicator last Friday night. 'Bear attack bad,' the emergency message read, according to Colin Inglis, the uncle of Doug Inglis - who was found dead last weekend alongside his longtime partner, Jenny Gusse, and their dog.
