ATLANTA — Turns out Bigfoot was just a rubber suit.

Two researchers on a quest to prove the existence of Bigfoot say that the carcass encased in a block of ice — handed over to them for an undisclosed sum by two men who claimed to have found it — was slowly thawed out, and discovered to be a rubber gorilla outfit.

The revelation comes days after a much ballyhooed news conference in California in which the finders proclaimed that the remains of the legendary man-ape had been found in the North Georgia mountains.

Steve Kulls, executive director of squatchdetective.com and host of Squatchdetective Radio, says in a posting on a Web site run by Bigfoot researcher Tom Biscardi that as the “evidence” was thawed, the claim began to unravel.

First, the hair sample was burned and “melted into a ball uncharacteristic of hair,” Kulls said in the posting.

The thawing process was accelerated and the exposed head was found to be “unusually hollow in one small section.” An hour of thawing later and the feet were exposed — and were found to be made of rubber.

Matt Whitton, an officer on medical leave from the Clayton County Police Department, and Rick Dyer, a former Georgia corrections officer, announced the find in early July on YouTube videos and a Web site.

“Everyone who has talked down to us is going to eat their words,” Whitton said at the time.

Phone calls to Whitton and Dyer went unreturned Tuesday. But the voicemail recording for their Bigfoot Tip Line — which proclaims they search for leprechauns and the Loch Ness monster — has been updated to announce that they’re also in search of “big cats and dinosaurs. If you see any of those, give us a call.”

On Tuesday, Clayton County Police Chief Jeff Turner said he has not spoken to Whitton but processed paperwork to fire him.

“Once he perpetrated a fraud, that goes into his credibility and integrity,” Turner said. “He has violated the duty of a police officer.”

Sorry to have to say this but duuhhhh! Everyone seems to think the jokesters have egg on their face, I think the believers should have a look in the mirror.
There is no Easter Bunny.
There is no Santa Claus.
There is no monster under the bed.

OK I'll stop, I know I'll never change anyone's mind but this really drives me nuts, how many semmingly rational people become irrrational over this stuff.

"You got it all figured out brotha!" Ouch that stings!! It's OK though, when I toss out a spark I expect flames.

I fished with a local guide earlier this year that was going on a bigfoot search later in the year, he told of one sighting that he reasoned must be given some credibility because it was by a police officer, I responded that we had just finished discussing priests and molesting, and now a police officer deserves credit??

Oh wait one of these jokers was a police officer.
Of all the fossil records there are ZERO primates on this continent, or anything that resembles one.
I personally would love to run into one but?? Maybe it's like Santa, if you don't believe he won't bring you any toys.

I'm still a firm believer that the origional Bigfoot lives in Yakima.

But I don't think he ever worked for the police department.
