I've been following this story from the beginning, and things are really starting to heat up.

A photo has been taken of the body in question. Loren Coleman was given a copy of this photo which he released on cryptomundo.

One question immediately comes to mind after looking at the photo: why hasn't the discovery of this alleged Bigfoot carcass been announced in the national media, e.g. CNN, and/or Fox News? heyo

Tom Biscardi was going to go on Fox news this morning at 7:45 pacific time. Unfortunately, I don't get that channel, so I missed it. I know there's been an official press release.

We don't know for sure if this is real yet, so I'm kind of glad it hasn't hit the big news stations yet. I'd rather we had confirmation. Hoaxes always make cryptozoology look bad.

I don't believe it, but it is interesting. There's just too many hoaxes these days for me to go off of a picture. But I think this story would have been extremely huge had this been for real, I mean all over every station and every news publication. But it would be nice if it were/is legit.

So now we know why Loren Coleman was so optimistic. It was all for show, so he could get access to the photo. It turns out he's actually pretty skeptical still, which means that I'm skeptical again. I was only optimistic in the first place because Loren was.

Yeah, cryptomundo has been seriously overloaded lately. Understandable, with all this craze over a possible Bigfoot body. I can't get the site to work at all now.

This is what Loren Coleman had to say in that article I linked to.

Quote:
 
Well, wow, that was a wild ride, wasn’t it? And it feels like the roller coaster is just in the bottom of the dip, ready to rocket upward a bit again.

Of course, we all will see this unfold or unravel some more on Fox TV News at 10:45 am/7:45 am this Wednesday morning, August 13, 2008. And then on Friday, if it gets that far. I will continue to update Cryptomundo with new postings or any visuals obtained. It is 8:13 am in the East, and Fox News has just made a teaser announcement about the Friday news conference and the forthcoming DNA results. No body photo was shared yet, and the tone of the hosts was not intellectually skeptical or even interested, but childishly cynical. Stay tuned.

If Searching for Bigfoot, Inc. does have the body fully in their possession, out of Georgia, then this should keep progressing, with all the skeptics and scientists getting to see the body. If they do not have a real body, but a constructed model, as some of the early photographic analysis indicates, that will be slowly revealed as soon as people begin using x-rays, CAT-Scan, and other autopsy instruments on the carcass or fake carcass.

If I was a member of the group of people who have invested something in the alleged range of 30 million dollars on this, or the investors/documentary company (mentioned in their press release) that put up supposedly something like $11 million for the autopsy film rights, I’d want to see that body today!

I am not in that internal circle, have no money on this dog, as they say, and I am certain my overt skepticism now will get me booted from getting the phone calls and being sent any further photographs. But, if this is the real deal, I shall be pleasantly surprised if Mr. Biscardi comes through with more proofs, and follows through on his promises for me to see the body.

If skeptics are going to be given the opportunity to examine the body, shoulder to shoulder with the members of the ownership group, then this story will continue with new proofs.

Unfortunately, for those more intelligent readers here, you must understand why I say many thing I did here. Obviously, we were all being watched here, and what you have witnessed happening at Cryptomundo in the last few days was necessary to get to this stage of the photograph being released. As a member of the media, Cryptomundo being a window for you to examine them has served a necessary purpose in being objective.

The photographs were allegedly mistakenly placed on their website early, along with the press release Mr. Barrows released to sixty plus wire services. That error caused the early release of the watermarked photos on several websites and forums. After attempts to contact some of the early re-posters and tell them they would be sued, I called Biscardi to inform him that it was his site that was leaking the photographs. No one was hacking them. The swift movement all came from their side. And the embargo had to come off last night at 10:00 PM Eastern because the photo was all over the internet.

That is the short story of how this burst so early, yesterday.

Cryptomundo crashed last night, several times, and there is still trouble with uploading other tidbits I wanted to put up this morning. I apologize because we got 3 million hits a minute.

I can now come out firmly in the extremely skeptical camp on this one, based merely on the “evidence” that has been shared so far. Several questions must be answered before myself and most of the scientific, skeptical, and Bigfoot communities will swallow this one.

For example, regarding the DNA analysis being done for Friday: What proof exists that the tissue sample was actually removed from the alleged Georgia body? I hate to bring up the OJ trial or CSI, but everyone in America understands the necessary realities of maintaining a secure record of the “chain of evidence.” The credibility of the gentlemen in Georgia and Mr. Biscardi will be called into question, and the ball is back in their camp on this question…and many other ones.

As I essentially said on Coast to Coast AM last night, there is no reason that exactly the opposite kind of people that everyone wished would find Bigfoot have tripped across one in the woods. That doesn’t bother me, and these two men will be celebrated if the body is real. I congratulated Tom Biscardi for moving this from the craziness of YouTube video assaults to the secret safe house and the millionaire investors. But there’s some notorious history here that will be hard for everyone to overlook until there is undeniable proof that some grand con game is not being played on all of us again.

I see nothing that tells me that there is a real body of Bigfoot coming out of this scenario, yet, but like I mentioned yesterday, only a fool would not look open-mindedly, if someone wants to show me the body. I skeptically occupy that same position.

Neither do I. winky

Agreed.

With absolutely no disrespect to Mr. Coleman, he seems, Crow, a little too eager to jump on the bandwagon when someone posts some pic or video footage of an alleged "Bigfoot".

Bottom line: I'll believe the "carcass" is a "Bigfoot" after, and only after it has been examined and authenticated, by an objective source(e.g. scientists).

True, I think Coleman can be a bit too eager to accept. But normally I know him as very skeptical. He is passionate about this, of course, so any possibility can't be ignored. If Loren Coleman gets to look at the body, then that's enough for me. But hopefully a lot of scientists will get to examine the body.

Indeed because, failing this, most people will probably blow this off as another "man in a gorilla suit" type of hoax.

Note: Crow I removed the original image you posted and reinstalled it as a thumbnail. It was so large it was causing the default width of the page(800px) to bulge out. winky

Here's another recap of this: http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/clayton/stories/2008/08/13/bigfoot_claim_policeman.html

According to this article the two men involved are supposedly going to present "DNA evidence" the day after tomorrow(Friday, 8-15).

Yeah, Friday is the day, apparently. But then one has to wonder how DNA evidence will mean anything when we've got no Bigfoot DNA to compare it with anyway. I'm not an expert on this, though. I'll be interested in what happens on Friday anyway.

OK, by now it seems pretty clear that this was all a stupid hoax. Cryptomundo seems to have crashed, but BFRO has a summary of everything that's happened.
