Matthew Whitton

Matthew Whitton is a big-foot hunter, and a fraud. He and his buddy Rick Dyer claimed to have found a real Bigfoot in the remote Northern Georgia woods. They claimed to have a body, preserved on ice. They even went as far as convincing Tom Biscardi, a man known as a professional Bigfoot hunter, that they did indeed have the body.

Biscardi went on national television, during a press conference to back his belief that Whitton and Dyer had found Bigfoot. It was later revealed that Whitton and Dyer had, in fact, pulled off a Bigfoot hoax. The Bigfoot they claimed to have, was merely a costume.

Bigfoot hoaxers say it was just ‘a big joke’

The two men who claimed to have found the carcass of Bigfoot have surfaced to say: Hey, it was just a joke.

Matt Whitton has been fired from his job as a police officer because of his role in the hoax.

Not everyone is laughing.

In an exclusive interview with CNN affiliate WSB, the two hoaxers — car salesman Rick Dyer and now-fired police officer Matt Whitton — said the whole situation began as a joke and then got out of hand.

“It’s just a big hoax, a big joke,” Dyer said.

“It’s Bigfoot,” Dyer explained. “Bigfoot doesn’t exist.”

Whitton chimed in: “All this was a big joke. It got into something way bigger than it was supposed to be.” Watch the two men explain their “joke” »

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.
