Bigfoot Plays Cops and Rubbers….
Well, we now know why those guys we’ve been posting about who claimed to have Bigfoot’s body never brought the corpse to their much ballyhooed news conference last week.
It turns out the “Bigfoot” was just a big rubber suit….
Now, Bigfoot hoaxers Rick Dyer and Matt Whitton are in big trouble…
Former corrections officer Dyer might find himself back in familiar surroundings— except he’ll be on the other side of the bars if fraud charges are upheld….
And Whitton—who had been a Clayton County, Georgia Police officer— is now out of a job for what his boss calls “violating his duty as a police officer.”
Chief Jeff Turner says once Whitton “perpetrated fraud, that goes to his credibility and integrity”
Plus, the owners of a Bigfoot website says they’re taking legal action against the pair…
Seems Searching for Bigfoot.Com paid the deceptive duo an undisclosed amount of money for the rights to the “body.”
You can read the eyewitness account here of how the site’s owner watched his hopes of discovering a new species evaporate away as the ice around the rubber costume melted…
When the Searching For Bigfoot.com web guy went searching for Whitton and Dyer, he discovered they were nowhere to be found—much like the elusive Bigfoot itself…
About the only good news in all of this is that if there IS a Bigfoot—it’s still out there—waiting for you or I to find him…
So—with that in mind—how much do you think I can get for this Bigfoot photo I snapped in the woods behind my North Carolina home last night?

i’m still trying to figure out if “Sasquatch” is Bigfoot’s name, or if that’s the name of his species.
BETWEEN the LINES replies:
Native american tribes had lots of different names describing simular creatures. Among them The Wood Man, Devil of the Forest, Oeh, Stickman, Windigo, Hairy Man, Skunk Ape, Swamp Ape and Momo….Of course around here, we just call Sasquatch by his family name…”Fred.”
