But when emergency workers arrived, the authorities said, they found something entirely different.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There, near a bridge on the scenic Cherohala Skyway, which runs through the town of Tellico Plaines, they found the body of a man who they said had been killed, according to the Monroe County Sheriff\u2019s Office. He had the identification of someone named Brandon Kristopher Andrade, the name given by the 911 caller.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But soon, they said, they learned that the body was not that of Mr. Andrade, that Mr. Andrade\u2019s I.D. had been stolen, and that a parolee with a long criminal history named Nicholas Wayne Hamlett, 45, had used that identity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Friday, Sheriff Tommy J. Jones II of Monroe County said that a warrant had been issued for Mr. Hamlett\u2019s arrest on a first-degree murder charge and that he was on the run. He is considered \u201carmed and dangerous,\u201d according to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo?fbid=1044339927707394&amp;set=pcb.1044341157707271\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As of Friday, the authorities had not identified the dead man, nor had they said how he had been killed. They planned to release a sketch of the man to help identify him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A phone message on Monday seeking further comment from the Monroe County Sheriff\u2019s Office was not immediately returned, nor was one left with a man named Brandon Kristopher Andrade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The authorities said Mr. Hamlett also used a fake name when he spoke to officials from another Tennessee county after the 911 call. He is believed to have fled his home in Tennessee, authorities added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Hamlett\u2019s criminal history includes prison terms for assault, forgery and theft, according to court records.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Tennessee case is not the only recent one in which someone called the police blaming a bear for an attack that turned out to be a homicide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Earlier this month near Bozeman, Mont., <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/18\/us\/montana-murder-bear-attack-homicide.html\" title=\"\">a person called the authorities<\/a> to report that a man had been found dead in his tent, apparently the victim of a bear attack. But the authorities later said that they believed the camper was the victim of a brutal homicide. They added that an autopsy showed that he sustained \u201cmultiple chop wounds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">No arrests have been made in that case.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Sheelagh McNeill<!-- --> contributed research.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/28\/world\/americas\/fake-bear-attack-murder-tennessee.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 911 caller in rural Tennessee told a dispatcher on Oct. 18 that he had been injured when a bear chased him off a cliff and into water.
