Summary
In a controversial incident, Charles Stuart, known as 'Snake the Bigfoot Hunter,' claimed to have discovered a Sasquatch corpse in the Adirondack mountains of New York. He asserted that DNA testing from Cornell University indicated the remains were nearly 60% Neanderthal. However, Cornell University publicly refuted these claims, stating that they had never conducted any testing for Stuart and that the documents he presented were not authentic. Stuart responded vehemently, accusing the university of lying and suggesting a conspiracy to cover up the truth about the existence of Bigfoot. He promised to release a documentary featuring a supposed whistleblower from Cornell's lab to support his claims. The incident has drawn skepticism from experts, including Matthew Moneymaker from the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, who labeled Stuart a hoaxer. Despite the backlash, Stuart continues to promote his findings and plans to display the alleged Sasquatch at The Great New York State Fair, where he previously showcased the remains to thousands of visitors. This ongoing saga raises questions about the credibility of claims surrounding cryptids and the motivations behind such sensational assertions.
