Just Another Bigfoot Hoax

It appears that many of general public has had been fooled by another Bigfoot hoax. At the beginning on August 2008 two Bigfoot hunters in Northern Georgia contacted Tom Biscardi claiming they have a frozen body of Bigfoot. Around August 10^th, Tom Biscardi appeared on Fox News showing pictures of the body. Biscardi told reporters he laid hands on the body and that this is the real deal. Biscardi also stated that he would hold a press conference on 15 August 2008.

The video of the press conference can be seen here: http://www.king5.com/video/index.html?nvid=273241. The video is approximately 45 minutes long.

At the press conference Biscardi stated that the Bigfoot hunters gave him DNA samples to get them analyzed. What could this DNA be compared to? Who are these scientists that are sampling the DNA and analyzing the body? When asked about the DNA evidence, the hunters said they are expecting it to come back soon. One of the hunters said the DNA sample to him looked Human-Ape. It's really interesting that this hunter who discovered the body said the DNA was not ready, but he already had a look at it. He did not produce it, and this regular guy was able to analyze the DNA?!

Later one Biscardi said he had a copy of the DNA and will give it to the reporters. He said the DNA was analyzed by one scientist with the evidence showing tests as inconclusive, human and opossum. He said that the DNA samples came from the intestines. Why would they have sent a hair sample?

It interesting that at certain times the hunters stated that the DNA is being analyzed and then at other times they stated 'when the scientists' look at the evidence and body the DNA will be produced. Clearly these men are stumbling on their own words and they don't have their story straight. While the hunter's were taking questions from the press and stumbling, Biscardi would frequently interrupt to clarify his statements. Clearly Biscardi is the 'mastermind' behind this hoax.

They also said that scientists have not performed an autopsy yet. So they have taken DNA samples and not performed a basic autopsy? Of course they disclosed their next plan to catch a live Bigfoot. I think this is a plan to raise money for their next escaped.

At the press conference, no body was produced. I find it peculiar that the people who discovered the body were wearing their 'finest' baseball caps that advertised their Bigfoot hunting expedition company. The hunters were very flustered when being confronted with questions from reporters. Biscardi became flustered when confronted with his past hoaxes.

I think one of the hunters put it best when he said "I didn't know how big this thing was going to get" and "we haven't made any money from this yet." Towards the end of the video the hunter said "We were just having a good time, and then Tom (Biscardi) got involved."

Their story is so full of holes. Be prepared for another hoax.
