The excitement over a supposed Bigfoot body that built all last week, culminating Friday in a circus-like press conference in Palo Alto, Calif., collapsed like a wet soufflé over the weekend as an independent investigator found out it was all fake.

SearchingforBigfoot.com owner Tom Biscardi paid an "undisclosed sum" to Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, the two Georgia men who say they found the body, for their frozen corpse and the privilege of trotting them out in front of TV cameras.

At the same time, Biscardi sent self-described "Sasquatch detective" Steve Kulls back to Georgia to check out the body.

Kulls, it's safe to say, was severely disappointed.

The upshot? The real Bigfoot, once found, is now missing. So are Whitton, Dyer and Biscardi's money. Source

Oh so Tom Biscardi is innocent? hahahaha
Hes set them up!
I bet it was investors money.
Or hes made more money from the media attention in his own shady deals than he even paid them.
And they now will be the scape goats.

I was convinced, I even called family members to alert them. I think there should be a law against this sort of crap. The one guy is a cop, or at least he was. And he was whining about people calling his mom. Pfft.
This is the same guy that shot himself in the arm while chasing a suspect. His partner is an out of work bum. I really don't like hoaxers.

I couldn't agree more. I hope the cops nail these two idiots. such a waste, I was so excited. back to aliens and the NWO

I'm not surprised. You saw that pic of bigfoot in the cooler... so fake looking. Looked like a clump of fur with a bigfoot halloween mask resting on top.

The most interesting twist to this whole bigfoot deal is Michael Phelp's curiosity in the subject matter. Check it out.

I thought this statement in the article was a little humorous.

Bigfoot Body Revealed to Be Halloween Costume

Kulls writes on Biscardi's Web site. "On behalf of myself I can say with certainty Matthew Whitton and Ricky Dyer [are] not the best Bigfoot trackers in the world!"

Ya think?

Another thing I thought was a little funny in the article was how long it apparently took for this self professed "Sasquatch detective" (Kulls) to realize that the "body" he was "checking out" was just a halloween costume!

"I extracted some [hair] from the alleged corpse and examined it and had some concerns," Kulls writes. "We burned said sample and said hair sample melted into a ball uncharacteristic of hair."

That right there should have told him it was plastic and this was a costume, but it took him another 2 hours to realize he was looking at a store bought costume!

"Within one hour we were able to see the partially exposed head," Kulls continues. "I was able to feel that it seemed mostly firm, but unusually hollow in one small section. This was yet another ominous sign."

Then came the clincher.

"Within the next hour of thaw, a break appeared up near the feet area. ... I observed the foot which looked unnatural, reached in and confirmed it was a rubber foot."

I think it's kind of funny/sad that it takes a "Sasquatch detective" 2 hours to say that he's looking at a halloween costume!

I think it would have taken a "real" expert or detective 10 minutes to realize that they didn't have an actual body of an animal in front of them, but a stuffed halloween costume!

After te-reading this statement:

Bigfoot Body Revealed to Be Halloween Costume

Kulls writes on Biscardi's Web site. "On behalf of myself I can say with certainty Matthew Whitton and Ricky Dyer [are] not the best Bigfoot trackers in the world!"

It left me wondering , so who IS "the best Bigfoot trackers in the world"?

Being no bigfoot has EVER been tracked down, how can you call anybody "the best Bigfoot tracker"?

And anyway, they never said they "tracked Bigfoot", they stumbled on the body while "hiking" is what I remember.
