Bigfoot ‘Corpse’ Had a Rubber Foot; Finders ‘Admitted It Was a Costume,’ Says ‘Squatch Detective’ Host

Yesterday on his show, Kulls recounted how he first introduced self-styled Sasquatch hunter Tom Biscardi to Whitton and Dyer after Dyer had appeared on Kulls’ show on July 28 to discuss the “find.”

Eighteen days later, on Aug. 15, Biscardi, Whitton and Dyer held a press conference in Palo Alto, Calif., where they had promised to unveil hard evidence of the half-man, half-ape. But that event proved to be a bust, with Biscardi producing only photos of the alleged beast, and testing of alleged tissue samples showing only possum and human DNA.

Meanwhile, Kulls, who lives in upstate New York, says he flew to Georgia to inspect the corpse, which was thawing out from deep freeze.

While doing so one day after the press conference, Kulls says he “observed the foot, which looked unnatural – reached in and confirmed it was a rubber foot.”

“We immediately contacted Tom Biscardi and advised him of the situation,” says Kulls.  At that point, Biscardi told Kulls that Whitton and Dyer had admitted the corpse was a costume.

“We have proven now that Ricky Dyer and Matthew Whitton are liars,” Kulls told his audience.

STEVE KULLS: On August 16, 2008, the freezer containing the alleged corpse arrived with the Searching for Bigfoot team at an undisclosed location.  I arrived that same day at 6 p.m. to provide initial verification, examination, biohazard control, and consult for security measures at the location.

At that time, the ice was being thawed slowly, to prevent and further decomposition of the alleged corpse.

On August 17, 2008, Searching for Bigfoot Director of Operations TJ Biscardi and myself were up early. We discovered that some hair was now exposed from the ice.  I extracted some from the alleged corpse and examined it and had some concerns.

Bob Smalbach, vice president of Searching for Bigfoot, arrived and concurred.  We burned the said hair sample and the hair sample burned into a ball, uncharacteristic of hair.

At that time, we began to expedite the melting process, after receiving the go-ahead from Tom Biscardi, by using a salamander heater to heat the freezer.  Within one hour, I pressed on the partially exposed head and it seemed mostly firm, but unusually hollow in one small section – yet another ominous sign.

Within the next hour, upon examining the feet area, there was a break in the ice and I observed the foot, which looked unnatural – reached in and confirmed it was a rubber foot.

We immediately contacted Tom Biscardi and advised him of the situation, and he began to take action on his end.  We were advised that both Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer admitted at this point it was a costume.

They agreed to sign a promissory note in an admission of what they’d done, and set a meeting for their hotel room in California at 8 a.m. the next day.

On August 18, 2008, Tom Biscardi went to the hotel so they could sign those documents – where Dyer and Whitton were staying – and found out they had left.  Searching for Bigfoot is at this time seeking the return of their funds.

The actions and motives of Whitton and Dyer, obviously at this point, are beyond comprehension.

Whitton, who being a police officer for the Clayton County police Department in Georgia, got up before the world and lied, and was complicit to defraud in a felonious manner.

Ricky “Trailer Truck” Dyer, an ex-corrections officer, who now operates mostly as a car salesman and, as I uncovered several weeks ago, is involved in shill-bidding his vehicles on eBay under another screen name.

The bottom line in this is that both organizations sought the truth. The team here, myself, did our jobs, did our duties, reported it such, and there you have it.

We have proven now that Ricky “Trailer Truck” Dyer and Matthew Whitton are liars, and have crossed that line from hoaxers to committing a fraud and a crime
