A black bear who was born in front of an Internet audience last year is missing in northeastern Minnesota.
Hope went missing Wednedsay.
She's part of long-term study of black bears at the North American Bear Center near Ely.
Hope's mother, Lily, developed a following when a camera in her den captured Hope's birth in January 2010.
Biologist Lynn Rogers believes Hope, who kept removing a radio-collar, was shot by a hunter.
