She Was Shot Dead In A Cabin And Her Killer Allegedly Mistook Her For His Ex-Girlfriend
Nisswa, Minnesota. The Cozy Bay Resort is a family-friendly vacation destination that sits right on Lake Edward in Nisswa.
Recently, 46-year-old Bethany Anne Bernatsky was staying in one of the resort’s lakefront cabins when she was killed.
Authorities are now saying the man who murdered Bethany was allegedly trying to take out his ex-girlfriend; she just happened to look quite similar to this ex.
Several days ago on October 7th, a little after 11 p.m., officers with the Crow Wing County Sheriff’s Office rushed to the Cozy Bay Resort after a man called 911 to report hearing gunshots go off in the cabin next door to him.

Authorities arrived and quickly located 29-year-old Cameron Jay Moser directly across the street from the resort, and he was carrying a shotgun and a handgun.
“Deputies negotiated for nearly two hours and eventually convinced the suspect to put his weapons down in a safe location,” the Crow Wing County Sheriff’s Office explained in a statement.
“Deputies took the subject into custody at that point. While searching the property near where the earlier shooting complaint was reported, the Crow Wing County Tactical Response Team (TRT) located an adult female in a cabin deceased from an apparent gunshot wound.”
The woman lying on the floor of the cabin was Bethany, and she had been shot several times.

Cameron has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder.
Court documents reveal that Cameron used to be in a relationship with the daughter of the past owner of the resort.
The week before Cameron murdered Bethany, he showed up at the resort to ask about his ex.
Sheriff Scott Goddard spoke to the StarTribune, saying that it seems Cameron was trying to kill his ex, but he mistook Bethany for that woman since they look quite similar.
Bethany’s family and the ex of Cameron’s family agreed that seemed a very likely possibility.
Bethany was a talented horse trainer, and she loved horses as well as people, too. Her loved ones say she was always quick with a smile and a laugh.
She was big-hearted, honest, patient, gentle, caring, gracious, and a joy to spend time with.
