BIGFOOT BODY FOUND - EVIDENCE AND DNA DETAILS TO BE PRESENTED AT A PRESS CONFERENCE ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 15th FROM 12 N00N TO 1:00PM AT THE CABANA HOTEL-PALO ALTO IN PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA
A body that may very well be the body of the creature commonly known as “Bigfoot” has been found in the woods in northern Georgia.
DNA evidence and photo evidence of the creature will be presented in a press conference on Friday, August 15th from 12 Noon to 1:00pm at the Cabana Hotel-Palo Alto at 4290 El Camino Real in Palo Alto, California, 94306. The press conference will not be open to the public. It will only be open to credentialed members of the press.
Here are some of the vital statistics on the “Bigfoot” body:
*The creature is seven feet seven inches tall.
*It weighs over five hundred pounds.
*The creature looks like it is part human and part ape-like.
*It is male.
*It has reddish hair and blackish-grey eyes.
*It has two arms and two legs, and five fingers on each hand and five toes on each foot.
*The feet are flat and similar to human feet.
*Its footprint is sixteen and three-quarters inches long and five and three-quarters inches wide at
the heel.
*From the palm of the hand to the tip of the middle finger, its hands are eleven and three-quarters inches
long and six and one-quarter inches wide.
*The creatures walk upright. (Several of them were sighted on the same day that the body was found.)
*The teeth are more human-like than ape-like.
*DNA tests are currently being done and the current DNA and photo evidence will be presented at the press
conference on Friday, August 15th.
The creature was found by Matthew Whitton (AKA Gary Parker) and Rick Dyer (residents of Georgia) in the woods in northern Georgia. (The exact location is being kept secret to protect the creatures.)
Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer will be flying in from Georgia to be at the press conference. Also present at the press conference will be Tom Biscardi, CEO of Searching for Bigfoot, Inc.
Whitton is a local, Georgia, police officer, who is currently on administrative leave after being wounded in the course of duty pursuing an alleged felon. Dyer is a former correctional officer. Whitton and Dyer are co-owners of bigfoottracker.com and Bigfoot Global LLC., a company that offers Bigfoot expeditions. Whitton and Dyer are working with Bigfoot hunter, Tom Biscardi, and Biscardi’s Searching for Bigfoot, Inc., to present and conduct the scientific study of the evidence and information on this body.
A few weeks ago, Whitton and Dyer announced the finding of the body on the “Squatch Detective” radio show, an internet based radio show hosted by Steve Kulls. While on that show, the commentator asked Rick Dyer “Would you allow one of our people to come down and verify the body?” Dyer replied, “The only person we would allow to come down and verify the body was ‘the real Bigfoot Hunter,’ Tom Biscardi.” The next day, the producer of the Squatch Detective show contacted Biscardi with pertinent information on how to contact Dyer and Whitton.
Extensive scientific studies will be done on the body by a team of scientists including a molecular biologist, an anthropologist, a paleontologist and other scientists over the next few months at an undisclosed location. The studies will be carefully documented and the findings will be released to the world, according to Biscardi.
Biscardi is known as “the real Bigfoot Hunter” because of his extensive investigations out in the field. He has been searching for Bigfoot since 1971 and over the past several years, he has been criss-crossing the United States and Canada tracking down the hottest leads on Bigfoot sightings.
Videography on the studies will be done under the supervision of Scott Davis, an independent producer and owner of TV Biz Productions in Phoenix, Arizona.
Currently, Tom Biscardi and his Searching for Bigfoot Team, in conjunction with Bigfoot Global LLC., are preparing to capture another of these creatures alive. That expedition will start very soon. The dates and the locations are being kept confidential.
The body that is currently being studied is being referred to as the “RICKMAT” creature, a name derived from the names of Rick Dyer and Matthew Whitton.
Last year, a film that Biscardi produced about his investigations, called “Bigfoot Lives,” won first place in the Documentary category at the Pocono Mountains Film Festival. Biscardi also hosts a Bigfoot oriented internet radio show that can be heard on Wednesday nights from 7:00pm to 8:00pm PDT at www.bigfootliveradioshow.com. The show is heard in over thirty countries.

And I’m a chinese jet pilot.
You nailed it! Good work. Some folks are going to be quite embarrassed.
Actually, it was a poster at JREF who first made the connection.
Original released photo, the guts are a nice touch:

Compare to nose/eyes/head of costume mentioned earlier:

I might bet you a hand made mug or tumbler or bowl.
What handmade could you offer in comparison?
But I don’t really bet for tangibles.
We shall see.
This feels different than the earlier hoaxes. A short time should tell.
Some of these assumptions are flawed.
I made no assumptions. This is already all over the major bigfoot sites.
The face is identical. No judgement is necessary, imo.
They added some fake teeth and a fake tongue to the head.
Remmber that this particular costume has a fully formed fake head to make the wearer appear to be 7’6” tall. The wearer’s head is actually in the neck area. The wearer looks out through the neck. This costume does not use a mask for the wearer’s face.

Hey! The Amazing Randi. I remember him from TV shows in the ‘70s.
I am thinking the BUNCO Squad may be printing up press passes at this very moment.
Well, I have been told in the past if you are looking from the neck up, you are looking to get married.
That overlay did it for me, it’s definitely fake. What the heck is the point of these guys faking it, won’t it hurt thier business, they’re credibility?
Saw the interview on Fox this morning. The guy looked like a not too bright con man whose scheme got bigger than he really wanted. I think the "BIG" newsconferance will be canceled for some oddball reason Friday (trying to keep one step ahead of the sheriff perhaps).
Your assumption
seems to be
that the costume could not have been created from a similar real kind of creature or accurate reports of seeing such.
Actually, a UFO model for my desk would not be attractive!
Wood? I’d have to ponder what I’d like out of wood.
You ponder what you’d like on a mug. Or a bowl. No promises but I’m inclined to get to most such eventually.
I only glaze in blues, reds, whites, purples etc. No blacks, browns per se.
The costume face is basically that of a gorilla, not like any reported bigfoot. The face of the thing in the freezer is also that of a gorilla, and not like any reported bigfoot.
I am not aware of any reports of bigfoot/sasquatch looking like a gorilla.
It is almost universally described as looking human. The universal excuse for not shooting it by those who had a chance to, is that it looked like a human and they couldn’t shoot at a human.
Besides, the costume face and the face in the freezer are not merely similar, but identical from the upper lip to the brow ridge.
What are you worried about, anyway?
This will be settled Friday at the press conference, won’t it?
BTW, none of these comparisons originated with me.
I wouldn’t want a UFO model—scale and precision or otherwise.
Sorry.
A tool I could use in pottery would be another matter. Maybe a ribbon tool.
I prefer to make big mugs—about 4-5” diameter and about 5-6” high. Would need to know if you prefer 2 fingers, 3 fingers or whole hand inserted in the handle and whether you are right or left handed, or not. I try to make the handles very ergonomic.
Are you taking orders? I’d like one. I would even consider giving up one or two of my plastic mugs to make room for the one you made.
