Too bad for Tom Biscardi and Searching For Bigfoot. Opportunists in Georgia tried anything to get their Bigfoot tracking wilderness expedition business going, including a flashy website, spoof videos on youtube, and more. But nothing got attention like freezing an alleged body in a freezer. They got an advance out of Biscardi and demanded that a press conference be quickly held. Only after the press conference, and a couple of days of thawing, did Biscardi get close enough to the object to discover it was a costume. Matthew Whitton (a Clayton County Georgia sheriff deputy on disability) and Rick Dyer (all kinds of different occupations alleged) have disappeared. I am worried that a police officer would be involved in such a fraud, but I'm sure a lot of people know policemen who don't mind getting involved with fraud.
Some pundits congratulated Biscardi on achieving a new level of popularity for the story. Previous stories have generated about 200 news stories maximum, but this finding, and press conference, appear to have generated at least 1000 news stories.
