Bigfoot ‘body’ on display in Phoenix areaPosted on: 5:40 pm, February 9, 2014, by CNN Wire
Phoenix (KPHO) — If you’ve ever wanted to see Sasquatch, now could be your chance.
A sideshow-like display featuring an alleged Bigfoot body will begin its tour in the Phoenix area next week.
The specimen comes from Rick Dyer, a self-proclaimed ‘Bigfoot Tracker’ whose web site says, “I tracked a creature. I shot it. With tears in my eyes, I watched it take its last breath.” Dyer says that was in 2012.
Dyer has hired promoter Andrew Clacy to book stops on the “I Told You So” tour. Clacy told CBS 5 News that the body has undergone DNA testing, MRI scans, an autopsy, and more scientific testing in the last year. However, results from those tests are not yet available.
Clacy told CBS 5 News he is negotiating with various Valley locations that would be interested in hosting the exhibit on Tuesday, February 11 and Wednesday, February 12. He said there would likely be a “very minimal” entrance fee of around $10 for adults and $5 for kids. A glass wall will separate the body from those who enter the trailer.
Clacy and Dyer know that they have a credibility barrier. Dyer admits to being the man behind one of the biggest Bigfoot hoaxes of all time. In 2008 he was involved in a scheme to sell another alleged bigfoot body to the highest bidder. The story got national attention and Dyer went into hiding for months.
Both men insist this time is different. “I spent hours looking at the specimen and it’s real,” Clacy says in a Youtube video. “I’ve touched it, its skin. it’s not a joke.”
Michael Shermer, the executive director of the Skeptics Society, told CBS 5 News the whole idea is ridiculous. “Science is not done by promotional tours,” Shermer said. “Why hasn’t he submitted the body for scientists to analyze? The answer is obvious: it’s a fake. If he has nothing to hide then let him show it to the professionals first before taking his victory lap.”.

This is unacceptable by all measures. First, there is no way I believe this to be true. Second, come on, you finally find Bigfoot and you shoot him. What is that all about? We have a responsibility as human beings to protect this species. Responsible Bigfoot hunters are out there using game cameras and sound recordings as well as trying to interact with the species on intimate level. Ever watch Finding Bigfoot? We wonder why they are so hard to find? They don't trust us. Why would they when there are irresponsible trackers out there just wanting their "SHOT" at the Big fellas. I'm personally disgusted by this on so many levels, Rick Dyer thinks where all stupid. Whether or not the big guys exists, we as human beings must do what is socially responsible when it comes to trying to locate them. www.kpho.com/.../bigfoot-body-on-display-in-phoenix-area is another link to the above story about Rick Dyer's claim.
