I wish someone knowledgeable in the BF community would write a rebuttal to the skeptics’ routine charge that “No bones have ever been found” and that “There’s nary a trace of bones.” It should mention briefly all the cases where bones that might have come from a BF have been found, but have been misplaced or reburied. Come B-Day, science’s mishandling of possible BF remains will be a big embarrassment to it.

What follows are a few of the missing-bones cases;

The question of investigative funding should be what is central to the debate with skeptics, not the question of belief. The gov’t. funds a great many scientific research projects, more than a few of them involving truly piddling topics—stuff like the courting rituals of some obscure foreign frog, for instance. (The supermarket tabloids keep me up to date on the latest outrages.) Sometimes, of course, these investigations pay off; e.g., a study of such behavior in the desert rat helped the CDC to quickly identify the transmission mechanism for the Hantavirus. Within this context—that of relatively liberal and long-shot funding criteria—a “search for sasquatch” would not seem out of place.

Maybe it's time for a history lesson before the last available witness, which I seem to be, passes on.

The tracks that were observed in the Bluff Creek drainage in northern California in the 1950's are not just another set of tracks that can easily be set aside as something tainted by claims of fakery while other tracks are still presumed to be genuine. They are the base layer of the bedrock on which the whole investigation is founded.

Alton Higgins

This assessment is not intended to be a formal public report, but rather is an example of a private assessment, written for Kathy Moskowitz Strain, who submitted the hair to Alton Higgins.


I received an envelope containing several light-colored, blondish, hairs. The plastic bag containing the hairs was marked “Lake Tahoe Hairs,” collected by Brian Brown, 18 September 2004. An accompanying note from Kathy Moskowitz indicated that the hairs were collected near Lake Tahoe. The hairs were extremely fine; there appeared to be up to five or six hairs in the bag, but they were so fine and light in color so as to be difficult to see.

The largest hair included a root tip (Figure 1) and was about 80 mm in length.
