Bigfoot Evidence Fails to Impress

Bigfoot claimants, Tom Biscardi, host of a weekly online radio show about the Bigfoot, along with the alleged corpse discoverers, Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, held their press conference yesterday. The much hyped event turned out to be a bit of a disappointment, though, as the "evidence" of Bigfoot which they presented turned out to be far short of conclusive.

The low point was the presentation of DNA evidence which turned out to be a mixture of human and opossum. They also showed photos, much like the ones that have already been circulating on the internet, in which Bigfoot still looks suspiciously like a guy in a gorilla outfit. Of course, the photos are still conveniently blurry too. Last night the radio show Coast to Coast AM, hosted by cryptomundo creator, Loren Coleman, featured a call from Chuck Jarman, a maker of high end costumes who said that the picture of the Bigfoot carcass was a costume he sculpted for a Halloween company two years ago.

The Bigfoot body still has not been seen by anyone but the trio of possible scammers, but claim that they can't show it until a necropsy performed by a forensic specialist from Russia is finished. Why American scientists, perhaps someone at the US Dept. of Fish and Wildlife forensic labs in Ashland, Oregon, just a couple hundred miles North of Palo Alto, aren't being consulted is anyone's guess. Mr. Biscardi, whose commercial interests are all about Bigfoot, including a Bigfoot Web site, a Bigfoot merchandise line and a Bigfoot net radio show, swears the Bigfoot is real.

The trio has already been exposed in one fraud connected to the Bigfoot discovery when the YouTube video of taxonomist Dr. Paul Van Buren discussing the Bigfoot in the freezer, turned out to be Whitton's brother dressed up in a lab coat. The buzz is probably proving profitable, for Biscardi, Whitton and Dyer, though, and that's probably the point. The whole thing stinks of another Bigfoot hoax, though.
