"It is still unclear why Whitton who, being a police officer for the
Clayton County Police Department in Georgia got up before the world and
lied and was complicit in a scheme to defraud in a felonious manner." --Steve Kulls, Bigfoot Hunter
"Oh, indeed." --Omar Little, "The Wire"
Well, I'll be.
Turns out that Bigfoot find was not a real live Sasquatch after all, but a frozen Halloween costume: The recent claim made
at a press conference in Palo Alto that Bigfoot was found is a hoax, a
Bay Area Bigfoot hunter has now acknowledged.
Following
last Friday's announcement, the Menlo Park-based group called Searching
For Bigfoot finally got its hands on what was claimed to be a frozen
Sasquatch.
The group's leader Tom Biscardi said it came from
two men he introduced to reporters who claimed to have found
Bigfoot's remains in the woods of northern Georgia.
But as the
ice began to thaw in the 1,500 lb. freezer containing the body, it
was discovered that the frozen remains were actually a rubber ape
costume.
Biscardi said Searching For Bigfoot, Inc. is planning
to take legal action against the two men from Georgia: Matt Whitton, an
officer on medical leave from the Clayton County, Georgia Police
Department, and Rick Dyer, a former corrections officer.
The two
men claimed to have stumbled across the purported Bigfoot corpse over
the summer while on a hiking trip. Then, they recently entered into a
promotional contract with Searching For Bigfoot, Inc. and Biscardi said
he gave them a cash advance.
Biscardi and his associates believe the men's motives for the hoax were purely financial.
Some questions:
1. Who did these fools from Georgia think they were going to fool in the long run?
2. What makes someone fake a Bigfoot discovery?
3. Why did news outlets all around the country cover this as if there was any chance in hell these dudes found Bigfoot?
4. How big was this costume that it could be mistaken for a legendary Sasquatch? I mean, I know there are no other Bigfoot corpses to compare the suit to, but it was presumably made to fit a human. AND BIGFOOTS ARE NOT HUMAN SIZED. (Ahem.)
5. Did you want to believe? Are you so pissed right now?
