INTERVIEW: Bigfoot Body Allegedly Found

Aug. 15, 2008 -- Although I typically cover true crime and missing person cases, I wanted to do something a little different today. Therefore, I decided to look into recent rumors regarding the discovery of a dead Bigfoot creature in Georgia. During my own investigation into the case, I was able to obtain an exclusive interview with one of the key figures involved in the case. This individual also granted me permission to post a photograph of the alleged creature. You might be asking yourself whether this is a hoax. Read on and decide for yourself.

Tom Biscardi, Chief Executive Officer of Searching for Bigfoot, Inc., states that he is convinced that a dead creature allegedly found in the mountains of northern Georgia is the elusive Bigfoot.

In an interview with Investigation Discovery this afternoon, Biscardi provided exclusive details about the discovery of the creature and shared what it was like to see it firsthand. According to Biscardi, it was roughly three weeks ago when Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, two men who reportedly operate a Bigfoot tracking business, announced the find on Squatch Detective Radio.

"The commentator said, "Can we come down and verify your discovery?" and they said, "No." The person they said they wanted was the real big foot hunter," Biscardi said. "They wanted me."

The following day, the radio host contacted Biscardi and told him about the find, as well as Whitton and Dyer's request that he verify it. Biscardi agreed and flew to Georgia two weeks later to investigate the situation.

"All this crap was going through my mind," Biscardi reported. "Will they all be there? Was this all bologna? Will I call and the phone is disconnected, you know? Well, I get there, and my God, there they were waiting for me. They were two respectful gentlemen. One was a cop that was wounded, so he is on administrative paid leave right now, and the other was an ex-corrections officer. They made sure that I got in a decent hotel, and we talked for about an hour and a half. There was a big storm that night, and we agreed to meet the next morning. Then, they gave me the [creature's] DNA and they said, 'Here, we want you to take this and run it through.' They didn't want to show me the body yet. At that point, we were pretty much just breaking bread."

Biscardi flew back home, but returned to Georgia last Saturday. At that time, he was given the opportunity to see the body for the first time.

"I have to tell you, I was in shock," Biscardi stated as he described the moment he laid eyes upon the creature. "It was a euphoric experience for me. After 35 years of searching for this thing, it just blew me away. There I was face-to-face with this thing. It was about 7 feet tall and it weighs over 500 pounds. It had five fingers and five toes, very much like a human. His feet were in excess of 16 inches, and his hands from the palm to the middle finger were in excess of 11 inches. The teeth were protruding because rigor mortis had set in, and the tongue was out. Its guts were also out of its stomach, and it looked like the gasses in the body caused this because they had this thing since June 10 or 12. I don’t remember exactly, but [they had it] for about two months. They were afraid. They didn't know what to think about what they had."

According to Biscardi, Whitton and Dyer took him to the area where they allegedly found the creature. He described it as a rugged mountainous area that was approximately 7 1/2 miles into the woods. Once there, the men reportedly described to Biscardi how they found the creature.

"They found it by a stream," Biscardi said. "One of them stayed with the body for nine hours, while the other one went to go get help and the truck. They had to get this thing out by hand, and it took a total of four guys a day and a half to do it. While they were doing that, they were hearing something. One of them took video of another [creature] that was following them, and they said they saw three of them in the course of a day and a half."

Biscardi stated that both DNA and photographic evidence will be presented during a press conference tomorrow afternoon at the Cabana Hotel-Palo Alto in Palo Alto, Calif. Following the press conference, the creature will be examined by a team of scientists. According to Biscardi, they will release their findings to the world.
