Looks like these guys can't get their story straight...

In early videos, the animal was shot by a former felon, and the men followed it into the woods.
In a second version, they found a "family of Bigfoot" in North Georgia mountains.
In the third, the two were hiking and stumbled upon the corpse with open wounds.

An anonymous letter to the agency in July said the creature is "the remains of a small gorilla or chimpanzee that may have undergone some taxidermy treatment."

Nothing to see here folks, ... unless you want to see a human or opossum

PALO ALTO, California (Reuters) - Bigfoot remains as elusive as ever.

Results from tests on genetic material from alleged remains of one of the mythical half-ape and half-human creatures, made public at a news conference on Friday held after the claimed discovery swept the Internet, failed to prove its existence.

Its spread was fueled by a photograph of a hairy heap, bearing a close resemblance to a shaggy full-body gorilla costume, stuffed into a container resembling a refrigerator.

One of the two samples of DNA said to prove the existence of the Bigfoot came from a human and the other was 96 percent from an opossum, according to Curt Nelson, a scientist at the University of Minnesota who performed the DNA analysis.

You forgot this part

Biscardi said the DNA samples may not have been taken correctly and may have been contaminated, and that he would proceed with an autopsy of the alleged Bigfoot remains, currently in a freezer at an undisclosed location.

Hey! It could be Jimmy Hoffa's body everyone has been searching for all these years. Guess they forgot to check that they might have stuffed him in a gorilla costume

I don't know why there's no proof yet. They are wicked easy to catch.

I, for one, am completely shocked and surprised.

Web Site: Bigfoot Finding A Fraud

ATLANTA -- A Web site that claimed two Georgia men had found Bigfoot says the men's claim is a fraud.

SearchingForBigfoot.com has confirmed that the two Georgia men who claimed they found Bigfoot were lying.

The Web site said that Matthew Whitton and Ricky Dyer delivered the freezer containing the reported remains of the Bigfoot the day after the press conference that they called for. It also said that Whitton and Dyer were given an undisclosed amount of money from Searching For Bigfoot before they went public with their find.

What a couple of idiots, now they may be charged with fraud as they took money for promotions.

I laughed my arse off when this story came across the ticker on CTVnews last week. I acctually had to rewind the PVR to read it again. The ticker read something to the effect of "Bigfoot hunter came across body of the bigfoot and is currenty in freezer. The bigfoot hunter when not hunting bigfoot is searching for leperchauns"

It really is amazing what some people will do to get their 15mins of fame.
