Bigfoot Hunter Rick Dyer Confesses,
Again To Duping The Public
 | By Lee Speigel The Huffington Post 4-4-14 |
Rick Dyer, who once proclaimed he'd "go down in history as the best Bigfoot tracker in the world," has cried Bigfoot a few too many times. Last Friday Dyer confessed that the purported Bigfoot that he toured -- and charged folks to see -- was a fake.
In a post to his Facebook page, Dyer wrote a long and rambling confession. "Coming clean about everything is necessary for a new start," Dyer wrote. "From this moment own (sic), I wlll speak the truth! No more lies, tall tales or wild goose chases to mess with the haters!"
This chapter in Dyer's ongoing Bigfoot fantasy began in 2012 (some years after a previous Bigfoot hoax in 2008 to which he also confessed), when he claimed to kill an 8-foot-tall Bigfoot-like creature in Texas. He went on to declare last year that an unnamed university had completed DNA analysis and determined that the creature -- nicknamed "Hank" by Dyer -- was an unknown species.
In January, Dyer announced that he would take the beast on a national tour and charge people to see it. From the start, the tour encountered problems -- among them a lack of venues willing to let him display Hank, and Dyer's unwillingness to release the alleged DNA "results." . . .
