sasquatch carcass (update) photos, and video. (confirmed fake)

I dont know what to think about this story. I've been followiong it for about a week now, and things just got really strange.
It started July 11th ehn a group called "bigfoot trackers" came forward and stated that they had the body of a sasquatch. They claim that in addition to locating an entire family of sasquatches they also have managed to acquire a dead body of one, which they are keeping in a freezer. They also have stated that they have hired a lawyer and will be revealing the carcass in the near future.

Here is a link to a newspaper from Georgia

Strange, I'm anticipating a hoax though.
They did have a good point though. Why would they risk their lives and reputations on a hoax. I read the article, but I cant remember - when are they going to release the body?

First i have heard of this. Well i am hoping that this might be the real thing this time as there have been so many times these things have happened. Looking forward to read the rest of this as it progresses, thanks for the update.....

Apparently they will release video and photos on sept,1,2008. Im not aware of the significance of this date,if there is any.
I love how it says they keep the carcass in the freezer.
Apparently one of the guys called into Coast to Coast am last night but I cant find any clips of that.

These guys are back in the news again with some "stories" about their "Sasquatch body". Apparently (according to Rick Dyer the man who "found" this body) the body of this creature was found 7miles from a road in which they were parked. The creature is 8'8", 600lbs and took 6 men a day and half to carry the body back to a vehicle. He states that this carcass was found in early June and that he figures the creature had been dead for a few days.
Cant wait to see what these guys come up with next.

Alright this is starting to get silly now, however heres some fun new updates from cryptomundo.

All previous videos have been removed from the internet and posted a new video that states two things... A.) BigfootTrackers.com is now associated with famous cryptozoologist Tom Biscardi... and B.) Apparantly they have given a DNA sample from their alleged body to Tom Biscardi

Their website has also been edited to state that it is for "entertainment purposes only"

Starting to get funny.

Nice, Maybe they are realizing how much shit can might get into with a fraudulent claim?

The "Georgia Bigfoot Body" story is a hoax, started by two fellows in Georgia. The "body" is a widely available Halloween costume stuffed into a large cooler, with some animal entrails laid on top. This ongoing hoax is now being orchestrated by a notorious Las Vegas con-man named Carmine Thomas Biscardii.

Here's how the hoax got started.

Here's how the hoax was debunked.



A few important pieces of evidence on YouTube:

Here are two of the YouTube videos put out by the two Georgia boys who started this hoax. In the first video the lying sheriff deputy, Matthew Gary Whitton, goes to the airport to meet a "scientist" who he claims has come to Georgia to examine the "body." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRcKClMRz4I

Various people figured out that the "scientist" was actually the deputy's own brother, Martin Whitton.

Busted.

In the second YouTube video the sheriff deputy admits to the hoax ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMEsD3_J2DQ ... but then continues to lie about having a "bigfoot body".

These Georgia buffoons do not run bigfoot expeditions and never have. That's just another one of their lies. They are simply two clowns in Georgia who put some bogus videos on YouTube that got some attention. They initially offered bigfoot expeditions because they were aware of the popularity of BFRO expeditions.

When they first got some press attention in Georgia, the press attention attracted the notorious Carmine Thomas Biscardi. Among other sleazy ventures, Biscardi has been pushing hoaxed bigfoot evidence for several years now. He seems to pop up wherever the bigfoot subject is getting local press attention -- a sort of Reverend Al Sharpton of the bigfoot world. But unlike Sharpton, who has become a respectable defender of minority rights, Biscardi's ploys have won him the well-deserved reputation among the bigfoot research community as a charlatan, a parasite, a hoaxer, and a scam artist.

Biscardi perpetrated a similar "bigfoot body" hoax on a nationally syndicated radio show in 2005. He confessed to the hoax on the air when pressed by the irate talk show host, George Noory.

Biscardi recently announced a press conference for Friday in San Francisco or Palo Alto. The purpose of this grand ruse is to attract lots of attention to himself. His M.O. is to hold the attention of the mass media while he arranges various deals for documentaries, books, etc.

On the surface the scam does not appear to make any sense ... because Biscardi and these two Georgia clowns will eventually be shown to be liars and frauds. That has never stopped Biscardi before. He doesn't care if he's exposed later, if he can make a quick buck while he's in the spotlight at the moment. That's the game all three these guys (Biscardi, Dyer and Whitton) are playing right now.
Legitimate bigfoot researchers have mixed emotions about this whole affair. On the one hand, it's sickening to watch this ridiculous hoax receive as much attention as it has gotten. On the other hand, this is Biscardi's final hurrah. Eventually the media will figure out that it's a hoax, and the public will never take him seriously ever again after that, and he will finally go away.

The press conference transpired in Palo Alto. As expected, they didn't show the "body," and as expected they said, again, the world will have to "wait and see" ... All the while Biscardi can do some deals to put some money in his pocket, from publishers, producers, etc., (and share it with the Georgia boys) before it is obvious to everyone that it was just another Biscardi hoax.

The only scientist involved with them simply received a "DNA sampele" in the mail. He will do some tests, but he has said his tests don't mean anything.

The important part of the press conference, from our perspective, was the growing pile of contradictions in their story. Whitton actually said they had no interest in bigfoots, and were not looking for one, before they "stumbled upon" the body. That's in very sharp contrast to what he claimed on his YouTube videos, where he said he has dreamed about being a bigfoot researcher since he was kid. These two clowns were trying to promote a bigfoot expedition business several weeks before they started spouting claims about having a body.

Whitton also said, during the press conference, that he "didn't notice any wounds on the carcass" and didn't know how it died -- another statement that is in direct contradiction to what he claimed in their early YouTube videos ... videos which were thankfully preserved by friends of the BFRO before Whitton and Dyer tried to remove them from YouTube.

To see these videos, which clearly demonstrate how willing these boys are to spin very big yarns, look for the YouTUbe links in the first thread of post on the blue form linked above, with more details on the background of this hoax.

Biscardi is a professional liar, and he found himself a cop who was willing to tell a tall in order to pull off a big media hoax/scam.

Witness all the lies of deputy Whitton in his own videos, linked above.

Thanks for the info Autumn...It's what I've been expecting all along.

Here's video of the press conference on CNN.

So like no one saw this one coming already...



It was a hoax.


"The body has been discovered to be a rubber costume that contained cinder blocks and bricks to add weight. As well, Kulls states that there is definitely decomposing animal matter under the costume because of the odor."

WOW full out scam,
Wasn't one of them a cop?

Yeah...he lost his job pretty quickly after.

Like most people, I knew full well that this was total garbage from the beginning. My biological anthropology classes pretty much beat the last fragments of hope out of me of ever hearing about a large humanoid primate being discovered. Large mammals need food, a suitable habitat, a large breeding population in order to avoid inbreeding and the truth is that the world population (of humans) is much higher now than it was when the other large primates went extinct. We would have found them by now and in all likelihood killed them off...again.

If someone did find a genuine sasquatch/yeti/gigantopithecus/whatever corpse then why would they stall before showing the media a decent image? People with a genuine large humanoid primate that somehow eluded humans for centuries (or 50,000 years depending on which cultures we're talking about) would be groundshaking news - you don't hold back that sort of thing. The people on Fox news weren't even taking it seriously and with good reason.

If humans want to find an interesting and mind blowing species on Earth that no one has proven the existence of, there are better chances in the ocean. There is a much wider area to work with and unlike the sky, creatures exist at all levels of depth. Colossal squid and giant squid are from those depths and they are predators yet we have seen their young and the corpses and damage done on cachalot whales by larger ones. We know they're there but have little footage of them. The chances of finding some sort of "sea monster" are greater.

Ohhh Sea Monsters!!
We visited the sea monster exhibit at the Natural Museum this weekend.
Tiny but still interesting.
Great topic Sea Monsters, I think I'll add a bit of what i can find.

In regards to the Sasquatch, It makes sense.
How could they survive. without being noticed. I know nothing about this subject, but could a species evolve or eventually be able to get over the inbreeding problem?
