Freezer Bigfoot Proven A Hoax

It appears that my lament on the lack of follow up research about the Bigfoot in the freezer story was a bit premature. I know, everyone's really surprised at how this turned out:

ATLANTA - Turns out Bigfoot was just a rubber suit. Two researchers on a quest to prove the existence of Bigfoot say that the carcass encased in a block of ice — handed over to them for an undisclosed sum by two men who claimed to have found it — was slowly thawed out, and discovered to be a rubber gorilla outfit.

...Steve Kulls, executive director of squatchdetective.com and host of Squatchdetective Radio, says in a posting on a Web site run by Bigfoot researcher Tom Biscardi that as the "evidence" was thawed, the claim began to unravel as a giant hoax.

First, the hair sample was burned and "melted into a ball uncharacteristic of hair," Kulls said in the posting.

The thawing process was sped up and the exposed head was found to be "unusually hollow in one small section." An hour of thawing later and the feet were exposed — and they were found to be made of rubber.

On a more entertaining note, the two idiots who lied about this, saying that it was just a joke, are being sued for the money they received as an advance for their story and the one who was a police officer has now been fired for making false public statements. Thus closes another unfulfilling chapter in the exciting field of cryptozoology.
