The revelation comes just days after a a great deal of ballyhooed word interview was held in California to proclaim that the remains of the creature found in the North Georgia mountains was the legendary man-ape.

Steve Kulls, executory director of squatchdetective.com and host of Squatchdetective Radio, says in a posting on a Web site scour by Bigfoot researcher Tom Biscardi that while the “evidence” was thawed, the claim began to unravel as a colossus hoax.

First, the hair sample was burned and “melted into a ball uncharacteristic of hair,” Kulls related in the posting.

The thawing process was sped up and the exposed head was found to be “unusually hollow in one small section.” An sixty minutes of dissolving later and the feet were exposed — and they were found to be made of rubber.

Matt Whitton, an officer who has been on medical permission from the Clayton County Police Department, and Rick Dyer, a former Georgia corrections officer, announced the find in early July on YouTube videos and a Web site.

“Everyone who has talked down to us is going to eat their words,” Whitton said at the note the rate of.

Phone calls to Whitton and Dyer went unreturned on Tuesday. But the voicemail recording for their Bigfoot Tip Line — which proclaims they search for leprechauns and the Loch Ness miscreant — has been updated and announcing they’re likewise in search of “huge cats and dinosaurs. If you see any of those, accord. us a call.”

On Tuesday, Clayton County Police Chief Jeff Turner said he has not spoken to Whitton but processed paperwork to fire him.

“Once he perpetrated a fraud, that goes into his credibility and integrity,” Turner said. “He has violated the what one ought to do of a police officer.”
