Carny folk had the scoop on this story 40 years ago. Then people started asking too many questions.
I remember seeing that exibition years ago and reading an article by Ivan T Sanderson about how it may be the “proof” needed to be the Yeti or Sasquatch.
It was what appeared to be an ape man frozen in a block of ice in a chest type freezer.
I don’t think it was the questions that did it, it was the too many answers. :’) Someone tried the same scam (if it was one; I don’t think it was ever studied, it just vanished into the woodwork) about ten years ago, if memory serves.
Isn’t that the point guard on the NMSU basketball team?
