SAN ANTONIO, TexasDon’t believe everything you hear.

In 2009, San Antonio dispatchers couldn’t believe their ears.  A 911 call was made from a homeless couple camping near Hwy 151 who claimed a Bigfoot was in the woods with them.  The story made the news and the chase was on.

“That news story that you covered, that’s what let the cat out of the bag,” said self-proclaimed Bigfoot hunter Rick Dyer.

Dyer said that report prompted him to head to Texas, where he tracked down the Sasquatch and shot not one– but two– of the beasts near Loop 1604 in northwest Bexar County.

“There’s no allegedly about it.  I shot and killed the beasts there,” Dyer said.

Dyer said he baited the creature with $200 worth of ribs before he shot and killed it.  “I nailed … pork ribs from the WalMart down the street to the side of the tree, and low [sic] and behold, he came out and started eating the pork ribs off the tree,” Dyer said.

If Dyer’s name sounds familiar to viewers, it’s because he made the news for other reasons of credibility.  In 2011 San Antonio police arrested him for defrauding folks on eBay for allegedly selling them Corvettes he never delivered.

But Dyer’s real fame comes from among the Bigfoot hunting community themselves.  He is known for a Sasquatch hoax in 2008 that gained international attention.  The Bigfoot specimen he obtained and exhibited at the time was revealed to be a fake after a researcher stuck his hand inside the case and discovered it was merely a rubber ape costume.  Dyer claimed the ‘real’ Bigfoot had unknowingly been stolen the night before– and deviously switched with an identical replacement.

“Yes, I played a hoax, and I take full responsibility for it,” Dyer said.  ”I did the hoax and ever since then, I have been a Bigfoot tracker.”

Dyer said he’s on tour now with his latest “kill,” to restore his reputation.  He plans to exhibit his second specimen in the coming weeks.

“It’s just impossible to be faked.  I don’t have the budget to fake it, if it could be done,” Dyer said.

His tour is called the “I told You So” tour, currently located in the Texas panhandle with stops planned in Houston, Austin and San Antonio.

According to news reports, stops in parts of New Mexico and Arizona have reportedly fallen apart, with venues refusing to hold his exhibit.

So, what exactly is in the glass enclosure in his trailer?

Dyer calls him “Hank,” and says it’s an 800-pound, 8-foot creature—stuffed and mounted for public viewing.  It’s a new species, Dyer insists.

When pressed for details about claims of DNA tests, an autopsy and an MRI, Dyer said an unnamed, West Coast university has taken 15 months to complete them all.

“They dissected the body.  The heart and lungs will be on display at the medical press conference.  I love the controversy because people think, ‘Oh, this is just another dumb country boy hoax,’ but what they’re looking at is a real Bigfoot,” Dyer said. 

“On Feb. 9, we’re going to unveil the medical results.  And then on the 28th, we’re going to do an international press conference.”

At first, Dyer’s promoter said the tests haven’t been released yet.  But now Dyer says he’s signed a non-disclosure agreement with the college and cannot tell the results of the research.

Expect his taxidermied tour to reach San Antonio’s citizens in the coming weeks.

“I’m not trying to make them believe.  I’m just giving them the opportunity to come and see it.  And they can leave here and make up their own mind,” said Dyer.

We believe it’s the death of a myth and the birth of a legend.  Rick Dyer’s legend. 

We can’t wait to see how the public will respond to Dyer’s Bigfoot body tour and how the scientific world will weigh in on his alleged DNA evidence. 

Don’t hold your breath.  Remember what P.T. Barnum said about suckers.

 

Below, you can catch the 9-minute video posted this morning by Dyer himself and narrated in his own words, deciding for yourself if he truly caught and killed the elusive legendary creature or not.
