Georgia Bigfoot Hunters News Conference Produces No Evidence

Fridays news conference failed to produce any evidence to back up the two Georgia goof-balls Bigfoot story.

claims is the mouth of Bigfoot

The much-anticipated Bigfoot press conference Friday afternoon in Palo Alto, Calif., was little more than two men, introduced by a self-styled Sasquatch seeker, claiming to possess the 7-foot “body” of a “bipedal creature” on ice in a secret location, awaiting an autopsy.

The men, Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, were joined in the press conference by Tom Biscardi, host of an Bigfoot Internet radio show. Biscardi showed reporters two blurry photos, claiming one was the mouth of the “creature” while the other was another creature running through the Georgia woods.

Whitton and Dyer claimed they “stumbled on the creature,” but would not reveal more because they were concerned about it being an “endangered species.”

Biscardi sent three samples of the carcass to biologist Curtis Nelson at the University of Minnesota for analysis. In an e-mail, Nelson told Biscardi that most of DNA segments taken from two of the samples matched human DNA. One came back as a likely match for a possum.

Biscardi said he plans to keep the body at an undisclosed location while scientists, including two Russian hominid specialists, study the creature.

Biscardi said the entire process will be filmed and then released as a documentary.

A huge amount of dis-belief surrounds the mens “Georgia Bigfoot” story, with skeptics pointing out that the photo of the creature looks like a man in a Sasquatch costume sold online at http://www.TheHorrorDome.com

Biscardi was involved in a Bigfoot hoax In 2005, when he claimed that he had captured a Sasquatch. The beast never materialized, and Biscardi said he had been swindled by a deranged attention-seeker.

It’s time to call Bullsh*t on the Georgia Bigfoot story. The press conference was just another part of a sad and embarrassing hoax. Now that Biscardi, Whitton and Dyer have had their 15 minutes of fame, they need to just go away.
