Time for some not so surprising news. After telling ANIMAL that he touched the intestines of the alleged Bigfoot carcass and then lying to the world at a recent press conference, mythical beast hunter Tom Biscardi is now claiming that the corpse ain’t real. But instead of admitting he’s part of the lunatic fringe, Biscardi is actually claiming he’s the victim of fraud. He reportedly paid the redneck discoverers a good faith payment for the “marketing and promotion” of the body. However after the body began to thaw it became apparent that it was just a costume and mixed animal parts. Eventually Matthew Whitton and Ricky Dyer admitted their phoniness. Biscardi—who’s been involved with previous hoaxes—isn’t happy being lied to and has a statement on his website: “At this time the victim of this series of deceptions, Searching for Bigfoot, Inc., is seeking justice for themselves and for all the people who were deceived by this deception.” And just like that, Biscardi’s already disgraced career just got a little more disgraceful.
Despite personal assurances when reached by phone last night, Bigfoot hunter Tom Biscali failed to produce any verifiable or solid evidence authenticating the so called Georgian Bigfoot. The general online consensus is that the whole thing is devolving into a steaming pile of bullshit. According to the AP, Matt Whitton and Rick Dyer, the rednecks who found the alleged corpse, have now changed their story three times and counting. Although they had the attention of the world press, no body was produced, the handpicked scientists chosen to perform the upcoming autopsy weren’t present, the so called DNA evidence proved inconclusive, and the skeptics have just became a lot more skeptical. And don’t expect any help from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Reserve either, it’s not a priority for them, especially since nonexistent creatures aren’t protected. “It’s not an endangered species on any list that we’ve got,” explained spokesman Tom Mackenzie. Yet, despite the increasing doubts, the trio still confidently promised that more information is forthcoming and they did—at the very least—hand out two new photos: one close up of the mouth (image right) and another of a living specimen (or a tree) in the woods after the jump.
“Last weekend, I touched it, I measured its feet, I felt its intestines,” said Tom Biscardi by telephone late last night. He’s the self-professed Bigfoot hunter discussing his recent visit to inspect a well preserved carcass thought to be the cryptic beast. Today at 12pm California time, he joins Mathew Whitton and Rick Dyer, the two gentlemen laying claim to the gorilla-like creature found in Georgia, to present some more evidence of their discovery. Biscardi explained that the body has been preserved for the past two months in an ice chest, but that didn’t stop it from smelling really bad. “One of the guys kept puking” from the stink according to the Bigfoot enthusiast who described the experience as “euphoric.” UPDATE: Still no real evidence.
