I am more shocked that anyone would pay a cent for the story etc. There is no big foot except on the Jack Links beef jerky commercials.

newsflash: Loch Ness monster ALSO proven to be a fake.
Hucksters stated they would try to re-surface both Bigfoot and Loch Ness stories in 10-15 years for a new generation who want to believe in hoaxes.

I figured it was a fake. But why was the DNA from an opposum if it is a costume? was the costume hair made from opposum fur or were the "guts" from bigfoot from a dead opposum? If it's the latter.. maybe they should be fined for animal cruelty.

Was anyone truly surprised by this?

You can pretty much review the whole story with links to the original report, the official group website and the "it was a hoax" report on http://wwww.USAMediaGuide.com

Be sure to check out the group's website...it has a detailed point-by-point timeline of the discovery it was a hoax. And to think the guy paid big money for it!

What douche bags! On the bright side, anyone in Clayton county GA that wants to see Big Foot can find them congregated at the Vicotoria's Secret in Southlake Mall.

How would you like to go to court against a police officer who lies and fabricates stories. These guys are supposed to be held to a higher standard. These two should be hung, or serve jail time at the very least.

The one guy who was the police officer I found particularly amusing.
Apparently he was fired because there's some policy in the department stating that fabricating untrue stories is behavior "unbecoming of a police officer" so they fired his ret&rd<d a$$. ha ha ha ha!!!!!!

All things like this are hoaxes.

When someone has Bigfoot you can bet that they are going to roll him out dead or alive for the cameras just like a record bass, buck or catfish.

The real sportsman immediately go for full disclosure and public access when hoaxers can never do that which is the tip off that it's a scam.
ok - hmmmmm
