Silly kids, I wouldn’t try that today. One would likely get shot!

Great article!

Dumb kids, lucky they weren’t killed. Nevermind crossing a highway in front of traffic, I’m sure there’d be a few hunters willing to bag a sasquatch.

Great read John, keep up the good work!

How could one not catch a teen in a monkey suit? Surely such a costume would slow a person down? Especially running throught the woods! One slip and fall, it would be all over! That the kids were let off the hook makes me wonder even more? While I do not have all the facts, sounds like a good way to close a case!

I remember hearing of that sighting on the news at the time. but this is the first I have heard of the final outcome. Just goes to show how one can be fooled into thinking it might be real when only the first part of the story is known.

I can’t help wonder how many times this sort of thing has happened.

Stupid kids. They should have been mildly punished for something like this.

My guess would be that the person in the suit wasn’t heavy enough to “leave tracks” in the typical sense.

If I were to do this type of hoax I would use a good cast (or carving) to leave the prints, then run across the road in the suit to be sure someone found the prints.

That is, of course, pure conjecture on my part.

I second the thought of One Eyed Cat. How did they pull off prints that fooled these experienced outdoors folk and professional investigators? While it sounds like actual crime scene forensic folk weren’t there, I get the impression that all the RCMP on site were wilderness savvy people, used to seeing tracks. I would think that they would not be easy to fool with ‘typical’ efforts at fake footery.

NOW I am curious HOW did they do footprints that fooled Dahinden?

Admitting to and learning from mistakes is something more people need to learn to do today.
