Police 'hero' fired as Bigfoot claim melts away

An American police officer who claimed to have found Bigfoot has been fired from the force after it emerged that the hairy heap in his freezer was not the half-man, half-ape of myth, but a full-length rubber gorilla costume.

In an elaborate hoax Matthew Whitton, a police officer in Clayton County, Georgia, and his partner, Rick Dyer, announced in a radio interview and YouTube video that they had found the creature's corpse in the remote forests of Georgia state.

They sold the rights to the corpse to Rick Biscardi, a Californian Bigfoot hunter, for a reported $50,000, and Mr Biscardi then presented the pair to the world at a press conference in Palo Alto last Friday, although he was forced to defend the lack of physical evidence on show.

Is that twice biscardi's been suckered now?

Poor guy. He must want to believe its true so bad. Well, there's one born every minute. So he's got a lot of company

The guy was fired; good on the police chief, kudos.

I'm beginning to suspect that, along with the romanek case, its a distraction. Something may be brewing behind the scenes.

Mr. Whitton, in the words of that queer man who grabbed my butt, "You deserve it."
