PALO ALTO, Calif. -- It’s more than 7-feet tall. Weighs over 500 pounds and walked upright -- three "Bigfoot" seekers, including a Redwood City man, Wednesday claimed they have proof that they have found the body of the elusive creature in the wilds of Georgia.

And on Friday, at a news conference in Palo Alto, they say they will present DNA evidence to prove the carcass of “Rickmat” is that of a bigfoot.

Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, Georgia residents who lead Bigfoot-tracking expeditions, say they found the body of what appears to be a Bigfoot in the woods of northern Georgia and will join local Bigfoot researcher Tom Biscardi at the news conference, according to Robert Barrows, who is publicizing the event.

Among the creatures's other physical characteristics of the body -- according to the hunters website -- http://www.searchingforbigfoot.com/ -- were flat feet similar to human feet. Its footprint is 16 ¾ inches long and the length from palm to tip of the middle finger is 11 ½ inches long.
***
Whitton, a police officer in Clayton County, and Dyer, a former correctional officer, are not saying exactly where the body was found or where it is now, Barrows said.

OK, if they've got real evidence, it's science -- and it may NOT agree with their conclusion. Let's send this one to the jury of peer review.

1. Chupacabbras and Bigfoot in the same week. Where are the aliens?

Maybe by Monday we could clear up everything, and then Obama can pick Art Bell as his running mate.

4. This is old news to me.

I've been following the misadventures of these two clowns for a while on crytomundo.

If they have a body, man up and show it. Donate the body to a major university, reap your well-deserved windfall of publicity. Whomever actually can produce a bigfoot corpse will not lack for opportunities to benefit financially, from TV appearances, book deals, etc, etc.

If these guys have the real deal, they are being awfully damn squirrelly about it. I've yet to be impressed by their presentations so far.

7. On another thread there's a photo of a hairy apelike thing in a freezer.

Of course, by freezing the remains, they have RUINED them for proper postmortem examination, lol. Idiots.
