A few further thoughts.
(
NB My use of masculine pronouns should not be taken as indicating that I believe the Bear to be male - he or she could be either gender.)
First, a question. How quickly would the Beorning want to kill off the Werewolves? While they are alive, he benefits from the two kills per Night. There is a chance that they will kill him, but he knows that they will not be wanting to do so because they want two kills per Night and they win if he is the only other Villager left standing with them at the end. The risk the Bear takes by keeping them alive is that they will mistakenly kill him, believing him to be innocent (or Gifted).
I am not sure of the answer, but I do wonder whether the Beorning will have wanted the Wolves killed off quite so quickly. It seems to me that he would at least have wanted the last Wolf to remain alive a little longer.
Now, we could not be sure that
Laitaine was the last Wolf, but she was certainly a prime candidate. Only
LMP and
Durelin voted for
dancing spawn. Problem is,
dancing spawn was quite high on most people's suspicion lists too. One of them is probably the Cobbler. That doesn't necessarily mean that the other is the Bear, but it's worth "bearing" in mind.

But wouldn't the Bear simply have killed
Boromir88 himself last night if he thought him Gifted?
LMP's statement seems more likely to have been a Cobbleresque signal to the Wolves.
But let's face it, the Bear could be just about anyone. By my calculation, we have about four Days maximum (including today) to find him. Otherwise he wins. That doesn't give us a lot of wiggle room.
Boromir88 said yester-Day that he had an idea to find the Bear. I hope that we will hear from him soon.
