Well, /x/, if it really is a guy in a monkey suit, where's the suit? Patty is a cultural icon, it's the first image that pops into people's heads when you say the word "bigfoot", and that costume could fetch millions. Not only that, but all the people involved in the "hoax" are either dead or close to it, and they could've cashed in years ago. Thoughts?
Also not talked about are the tracks that Patty left behind. They were able to somehow create prosthetic feet that left behind tracks that fooled an accredited anthropologist into thinking they were real. If it's a guy in a suit, it's gotta still be out there somewhere.
