Georgia Bigfoot Hoax Hits Close To Home–Lawsuit Filed

The recent uproar over the discovery of a ’supposed’ Bigfoot corpse has now been proven to be nothing more than an elaborate hoax perpetrated by two individuals from Georgia.  One individual, a police officer, who was involved with the elaborate scheme, has since taken the role of ‘former police officer’ as he was fired for fraudulent behavior.  It looks like the bad news just keeps coming…

My home state of Indiana has been sparking some mutterings that it may have been the spot for the scientific study of the Bigfoot corpse…hence, a Bigfoot autopsy.  Two doctors were said to have paid upwards of $50,000 each to bring the Bigfoot corpse in to a scientific environment and check to see if it was indeed a Bigfoot corpse, or just another elaborate scheme to spark millions of imaginations and draw some public interest.  We all know now that after the body was turned over to the doctors (in a block of ice) that it was soon discovered that something wasn’t right.  It’s human-like feet were made of rubber and it’s head was empty. This evidence led the scientists to believe that the Georgia Bigfoot was nothing more than an elaborate ape suit frozen in ice.  <<<See Photo of Georgia Bigfoot

This hasn’t set to well with the two scientists who paid $50,000 to study this supposed corpse.

An Eaton, Indiana man has filed a police complaint against Matt Whitton and Rick Dyer in Clayton County, Georgia.  Whitton and Dyer are the two individuals that kicked off the media frenzy when they announced they had come across a Bigfoot corpse.  The Eaton, Indiana individual, William W. Lett Jr., claims that Whitton and Dyer refuse to return his payment for the study of the fake Bigfoot corpse—which Lett Jr. was led to believe was the real deal.

Eaton, Indiana is a small community five minutes outside of Muncie, Indiana in Delaware County.  Lett Jr.’s involvement in this case is still a bit sketchy in the public domain, other than the lawsuit being filed.

Recent reports of an ‘Indiana’ connection to the Georgia Bigfoot case seemed unfounded with little information to go on, but now that the lawsuit has been filed, I am sure more will be coming out in the days ahead.  Speculators have mentioned that the study could have been conducted at Muncie’s Ball State University, David Letterman’s alma mater, and home to an outstanding medical and scientific education department–so far, this is nothing more than speculation.  It is also not known of what has become of the actual Bigfoot hoax body which was prominently featured across the national press in photos and in a live press conference held by Whitton and Dyer.

The Georgia Bigfoot hoax should become an interesting court case in the months ahead.  What may have, at first, seemed like a good publicity stunt to spark curiosity, may end up landing a couple of people behind bars for their foolishness and greed.  This could be a good lesson for future perpetrators who are looking to bank on similar endeavors in the future.  There is always one big story a year, usually with quite similar results.  For the most part, people aren’t hurt, but in this case, it involved some money.  The same thing Whitton and Dyer set out for could actually be their downfall.
