[P _extended="true" itxtvisited="1"]At 12 noon Friday Pacific Daylight Time, 3 p.m. on the East Coast, renowned Sasquatch seeker Tom Biscardi plans to hold a press conference in Palo Alto, Calif., to divulge photos and DNA samples purportedly pertaining to a dead man-ape found in the Georgia woods.
[P _extended="true" itxtvisited="1"]But even Bigfoot true believers are growing skeptical of Biscardi's claims, especially after seeing the photo of the body, viewable [A href="vny!://www.cryptomundo.com/wp-content/uploads/thawed-creature-in-freezer1.jpg" target=_blank _extended="true"]here[/A].
[P _extended="true" itxtvisited="1"]"This body has little to do with Bigfoot and everything to do with a Sasquatch costume that someone developed after watching too many gorilla movies," [A href="vny!://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/g-g-fall/" target=_blank _extended="true"]warns Loren Coleman[/A], who runs the influential Cryptomundo blog devoted to strange and unknown animals.

[P _extended="true" itxtvisited="1"]"I've had interactions with Tom Biscardi in the past, and based on that history, I would say that anything he is involved in is suspect," Idaho State anthropologist and Bigfoot investigator Jeffrey Meldrum [A href="vny!://www.sciam.com/blog/60-second-science/post.cfm?id=bigfoot-expert-weighs-in-im-extreme-2008-08-14" target=_blank _extended="true"]told Scientific American[/A].
[P _extended="true" itxtvisited="1"]As for the Bigfoot body in the freezer, says Meldrum, "it just looks like a costume with some fake guts thrown on top for effect."
[P _extended="true" itxtvisited="1"]An online Halloween-costume store, TheHorrorDome.com, based in Port Washington, N.Y., sells a [A href="vny!://thehorrordome.com/HDSHOPPINGPROPS/SasquatchLARGE.htm" target=_blank _extended="true"]full-sized Sasquatch suit[/A] that strongly resembles the thawed-out corpse, right down to the height.
[P _extended="true" itxtvisited="1"]"It definitely looks like our costume," owner Jerry Parrino, who's been keeping track of the Bigfoot body story, told FOXNews.com.
[P _extended="true" itxtvisited="1"]Two things stand out about Biscardi's claims: first of all, that he's not going to be presenting a body — and in fact claims to not even know where the body is — and secondly, that the DNA evidence he's promising won't be accompanied by a "chain of custody" that details where it came from and how it got to the lab.
[P _extended="true" itxtvisited="1"]In other words, all he may have is photos — which don't appear to be too convincing.
