This has been breaking news and they are going to hold a news conference real soon from what I've been reading. But I saw two photos of it as well and don't know what to think. but it really looks like Harry from Harry and the Hendersons.
Don't know if this is a joke or serious but it's making pages everywhere.

BIGFOOT BODY FOUND - EVIDENCE AND DNA DETAILS TO BE PRESENTED AT A PRESS CONFERENCE ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 15th
FROM 12 N00N TO 1:00PM AT THE CABANA HOTEL-PALO ALTO IN PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA
A body that may very well be the body of the creature commonly known as ?Bigfoot? has been found in the woods in northern Georgia.
DNA evidence and photo evidence of the creature will be presented in a press conference on Friday, August 15th from 12 Noon to 1:00pm at the Cabana Hotel-Palo Alto at 4290 El Camino Real in Palo Alto, California, 94306. The press conference will not be open to the public. It will only be open to credentialed members of the press.
Here are some of the vital statistics on the ?Bigfoot? body:
*The creature is seven feet seven inches tall.
*It weighs over five hundred pounds.
*The creature looks like it is part human and part ape-like.
*It is male.
*It has reddish hair and blackish-grey eyes.
*It has two arms and two legs, and five fingers on each hand and
five toes on each foot.
*The feet are flat and similar to human feet.
*Its footprint is sixteen and three-quarters inches long and five and three-quarters inches wide at the heel.
*From the palm of the hand to the tip of the middle finger, its hands are
eleven and three-quarters inches long and six and one-quarter inches wide.
*The creatures walk upright. (Several of them were sighted on the same day that the body was found.)
*The teeth are more human-like than ape-like.
*DNA tests are currently being done and the current DNA and photo evidence will be presented at the press conference on Friday, August 15th.
Have any reputable news organizations reported this story?
I don't think it's an issue any world-class news agency would take up right away. That's why Fox News has.
If you go to google news and search for bigfoot then sort by date, it seems FOX news has been picking it up.
Also looking at this Chupucabra video, that is one interesting canine and it seems to correlate with all the Chupucabra hunters findings in the past, that it seems like a canine of some sorts. some thinking it was a large hairless wolf.. hmm...

So just because they have never seen it before it is automatically a chupacabra suspect? I find that pretty ridiculous. That animal was pretty small to take on full size cattle as the "chupacabra" suspects claim.
As for bigfoot, if the evidence is supported, this could be exciting news in the world. I can't jump to any conclusion until more is known. It's hard to say from just a picture. I'd be interested to listen or watch the press conference. Does anyone know if it will be aired?
well I agree about the hair less dog or something but can't for big foot
The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization claims it's a hoax: http://www.bfro.net/hoax.asp (http://www.bfro.net/hoax.asp)
Analysis of the photo and comparison to a costume: http://www.wherelightmeetsdark.com/index.php?module=wiki&page=GeorgiaRickmattBigfoot (http://www.wherelightmeetsdark.com/index.php?module=wiki&page=GeorgiaRickmattBigfoot)
(http://www.protacraft.com/pics/bigfoot_NEW_FINDINGS.jpg)
I too am extremely skeptical about this story. The face in the original photo looks like a mask on a dead bear carcass. I would only get excited about such a find if it were being presented by a credentialled primatologist.
ROTFLMAO!!!
Yes you too can be Bigfoot for Halloween.
Who fills a freezer with water by the way? If these are experienced hunters as they claim, wouldn't they know how to freeze their catch properly? I hate to pull the redneck card out for this one but it seems deserving...which in turn means I have to post a joke. ;D
Two rednecks were hunting one day and all of a sudden one of them keels over, out like a light.
The other redneck, not knowing what to do quickly calls 911. When the operator asks "what's wrong?", He says "I don't know we were just walking along and Bubba just falls over.
The operator asks "Is he dead?" and the redneck says "I don't know that either".
The operator says "well you need to make sure!"
The redneck says okay and lays the phone down.
A few seconds pass and then the operator hears "cha click, boom!"
The redneck comes back on the line and asks "Now What?"
I thought from the beginning that the image of the carcass seemed too much like that of Harry from Harry and the Hendersons... fake. something about it didn't seem right... however, lots of news affiliates are picking this up now... it's spreading. If this is a hoax, it's a good one and it's really getting good media coverage. If it's genuine, well, just slap me and call me silly.
google news search on bigfoot

this article claims one of the people who claim to have found bigfoot has been involved in hoaxes before. 3 times in fact.. hmm..

Yeah I can't believe that Chupucabra one made so much news, maybe trying to de-mystify the Chupucabra as an unknown type of canine instead of the half man/monster it was thought to be? It looks like a furless canine to me.
Well we will seen If it real or not tommorrow I can't wait.

They finally whacked the Caveman from the Geico commercial. God I'm sick of those ads!
does he not like jokes he might punch us or chase us does he like jurky.
Found this article on the web today: Bigfoot Experts Skeptical of Body in Freezer. :)
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,404321,00.html
The press conference, apparently, was a letdown. This one's losing it's credibility faster than even Richard Hoagland.
ROTFLMAO! ;D
:) that is funny... as they dig themselves into deeper holes and completely discredit themselves it sounds like some publicity stunt. Since their efforts to prove their possession of Harry from Harry and the Hendersons.
However this news outlet found some shocking footage on youtube! ;D

saw press conference look like will be other info. after autopsy
Where's Geraldo Rivera.
I want to see the interview.
with the cookie monster.
The DNA analysis showed that of the two samples that were provided, one was human. The other was from a possum. Very disappointing, I wanted to believe so badly.
They got a DNA analysis back already? I heard that it hadn't been done yet. In any case it appears to be a hoax (go figure.) More than one person is claiming it's a costume and they know who made it.
Bigfoot is a possum? Shoot!
If that's the case then Brian Miller has a bigfoot in his backyard.
They did discover a new bigfoot.
A Redneck Bigfoot.
If you order now,
We'll through in a cooler we got from smart and final.
Interesting article spurred by the recent media scams.

ok fine that nice but we will see. I know they have a doc/ film coming out called big foot lives. Could be a marketing scam.

Is the movie they are coming out with sponsered by Nike?
I'll bet it's a Fox studios production, since Fox was the only news station to give the story any "credible" air time.

It's disturbing to me that people do this kind of thing.
"Everyone who has talked down to us is going to eat their words," Whitton said at the time.
On Tuesday, Clayton County Police Chief Jeff Turner said he has not spoken to Whitton but processed paperwork to fire him. "Once he perpetrated a fraud, that goes into his credibility and integrity," Turner said. "He has violated the duty of a police officer."
Let's see how he likes those words served up when he loses his job as an officer. Idiot.
The voicemail update is ridiculous :D
they just lost all their credibility and integrity.
I'm starting to think the online $$$ reward was probably a big motive as well as Big Foot tourism business.

Hi Kristen,
I agree; this whole circus sideshow is so sad. Do these people actually believe they can fool the public?
Here's the latest article on the subject from them, appropriately entitled: Bigfoot Body Revealed to Be Halloween Costume
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,406101,00.html
I'm tired of this story but can't help laughing at the serious trouble they got themselves into
Seriously stupid
1. Biscardi is suing for 120k he was part of the hoax, but is suing the two Georgia partners.

2. Whitten has been fired from the Sheriff's department for fraudulent acts committed unduly of a police officer.

Thanks for the link to MSNBC. Much appreciated.
I do wish, however, MSNBC understood how equally "uncredible" these so-called reporters look devoting this much precious time to the story and congratulating themselves in this smarmy way for allegedly not having fallen for the hoax. It's this sort of insufferable self-aggrandizement that made me stop watching broadcast news altogether. These people sound more like they're bitching about the story over lunch at the Soup Plantation. WTF? "A . . . "possum"? I've never heard of a possum" And then he doesn't get what she's making fun of and starts joking about "opossum" being the Irish version. Clearly, the point is not to say anything but merely wax glibly and seem witty.
Typical k-hole of empty newsy-ness. For cryin' out loud, get the friggin' deposit back on the the Sasquatch costume and call the story a "wrap". Hey you MSNBC paparazzi wannabes, can we please talk about nuclear missiles in Poland now?

I agree with you completely, they are scooping these stories too. Not questioning the credibility of the sources instead of covering The Cold War II. Really crazy thing about the Georgia/Russia situation is if anyone has ever played the game Ghost Recon (the original) which came out in 2000. The game is about Georgia and New Ossettia rebels and in the game Russia invades Georgia in August 2008 a weird coincidence?

I heard that when the autopsy report came back, it was a plastic gorilla suit with animal innards stuffed inside it.

F*** me! It's a Roberto's carne asada burrito. They only served them after the bars closed. Try to explain to your roommates the next morning why you've got faux fur stuck between your teeth! (Luckily, they couldn't remember anything
they did the night before either.)
That's mean Karl,
You know they don't what carne asada is back there.
How about if you call it a Hagus Sandwich?
Faux Fur in a burrito, lollerskates!
AH,
There is nothing like everyone getting together and having
stuffed Big foot.
I don't know why they didn't stuff it with Jack Links Beef Jerky.
After all there are messing with Sasquatch.
