The two Georgia men who set off a frenzy by claiming to have found a Bigfoot corpse last week confess that it was "just a hoax, just a big joke." Matt Whitton, one of the men who pulled off the hoax, is kicked off the police force.
At a news conference in California last week, the two men had stood by their claims that they had discovered Bigfoot's corpse and had it on ice. Scientific analysis would prove it, they said.
Now the two Georgia men admit that the hairy, icy blob was an Internet-purchased Sasquatch costume stuffed with possum roadkill and slaughterhouse leftovers.
Still unclear is how much money Whitton and Dyer got out of the hoax.
