BigFoot News Conference Reveals Little Hard Evidence

HOAX REVEALED - See Video Clip to the right, or click beneath Associated Links

A news conference where three men claim they will release proof of their Georgia Bigfoot find is over in California.

Carried live on some websites and live blogged by websites across the globe, today's news conference offered no real proof, no clear DNA evidence.

A Clayton County police officer is among three people claiming the dead body of a Bigfoot was found in the North Georgia mountains.

A hairy corpse crammed in a Georgia freezer is Bigfoot, say two men who have been tracking the legendary creature.

Matt Whitton and Rick Dyer say they stumbled across the corpse in the woods of north Georgia, across the country from the remote regions of the Northwest where people usually claim to see the man-ape.

Still, the Georgia men say DNA will prove once and for all that the frozen creature is Sasquatch.

They presented D-N-A test results and photographs during a news conference this afternoon in Palo Alto, California.

Skeptics say it's just another Bigfoot hoax. Experts say D-N-A test likely won't prove anything and, at best, might yield a gene sequence that doesn't match any other known primates.

Whitton, an officer on medical leave from the Clayton County Police Department, and Dyer, a former corrections officer, announced the discovery in early July on YouTube videos and their Web site www.bigfoottracker.com. The site is currently inaccessible.

The picture they sent out in a press release and on their Web site shows what appears to be a hairy corpse crammed into a chest freezer. The accompanying announcement describes the creature as a 7-foot-7 male, weighing over five hundred pounds with 16-inch human-like feet and reddish hair.
