Georgia Bigfoot body
In August 2008 Rick Dyer and Clayton County police officer Matthew Whitton announced they had found a Bigfoot corpse in the north Georgia woods and kept it in a freezer.
2008 CE · 33.57, -84.41 · status: hoax
The account
With promoter Tom Biscardi they held a press conference in Palo Alto, California, showing a photo of a hairy mass in ice.
The sceptical view
When the block was thawed it held a rubber gorilla costume stuffed with possum roadkill. Whitton was fired, and Dyer later staged more Bigfoot hoaxes.
