Georgia Bigfoot Body is Likely a Hoax

Mixed feelings on the Bigfoot body allegedly "stumbled upon" in the wilds of northern Georgia. While Tom Biscard is making his round of interviews, Jeff Meldrum and others voice their suspicions regarding the purported discovery of a dead Bigfoot by three men in Georgia.
Meldrum commented on Tom Biscardi's dubious credibility. University Minnesota research scientist Curt Nelson, to whom a sample of flesh was taken for DNA analysis, also shared some skepticism. After all Nelson didn't actually retrieve the sample from the corpse himself, so how to we really know where it came from. That's the line of evidence concern Loren Coleman referred to on a Cryptomundo post on Wednesday.
In an article published on the ABC News website Nelson is quoted as saying, "teams of unbiased scientists would have to collect and analyze DNA and thoroughly inspect the body." That is not happening.
Matt Moneymaker, founder and president of the BFRO stated, "It's a hoax. It's a Halloween costume in a box!" Which is really what it looks like when you think about it.
During a television interview Tom Biscardi commented that the freezer the creature was being stored in had broken and that the body is sitting in water. The men who found it had been adding water, thinking it would freeze back up.
Biscardi also said that he had prodded the body with a stick and that it seemed real to him. You would think that he would do more than prod the body. Maybe lift an arm or something. Or look at the eyes.
I remain skeptical, and I think I'll join Moneymaker in calling this a hoax. I'm not sure about motive though, and I'm still wondering about the millions of dollars apparently awarded for the body. That's probably a load of crap too. Are the men looking for fame? Can Biscardi be riding this just to promote his website and documentary videos? This all remains to be see.
This stinks like a dead Sasquatch.
