Phony Post Over the Patterson/Gimlin Film

1/24/2026

It was brought to my attention today by my old friend Henry May that a Facebook Page by the name of "NFL Insider" had posted an article about a Bob Gimlin confession.

This isn't our first rodeo dealing with Bob Gimlin "Confessions".

First I find it very interesting and a bit suspicious that a page for NFL fans would post this at all.

Remember not everything you read on the internet is the truth. And this one should have been punted, because it was a real fumble.

Fact Check: The “Bob Gimlin Final Confession” Article Is Fiction

A narrative article circulating online claims that Bob Gimlin revealed a hidden truth about Bigfoot shortly before death, including claims that the 1967 filmed subject was “trained” and not entirely wild.

The article presents this as a historic confession that would fundamentally alter Bigfoot research.

This claim is false.

Below are direct excerpts from the article, followed by verified facts.

Claim: “The figure in the footage wasn’t entirely wild… It was trained.”

This is the central allegation of the article and the one driving its spread.

Fact:
Bob Gimlin has never stated that the filmed subject was trained, conditioned, controlled, or associated with any human program. This language does not appear in any documented interview he has ever given.

The claim directly contradicts Gimlin’s long standing and consistent position regarding the event.

Claim: “There are… rules. Things I promised I’d never reveal.”

The article repeatedly implies secrecy, restrictions, and external control over what Gimlin is allowed to say.

Fact:
There is no evidence that Bob Gimlin has ever been subject to nondisclosure agreements, government restrictions, or external “rules” regarding the 1967 film. NDA's usually forbid people from speaking at all from a topic.

This trope is a common narrative device used in fictional conspiracy writing to excuse a lack of evidence. Beware folks who decry "Government Cover Up" when there evidence fails!"

Claim: “Dr. Lexi Halloway, a cryptozoological sociologist, weighed in immediately.”

Fact:
This individual does not exist.

There is no academic, scientific, or professional record of a cryptozoologist or sociologist by this name. The title itself has no recognized standing within scientific disciplines. The title "Cryptozoological Sociologist" simply does not exist either.

Fabricated experts are a HALLMARK of fictional or satirical articles presented in a news style format.

Writing Style and Structural Red Flags

Beyond the false claims, the article displays clear indicators of fictional writing:

Dramatic cinematic dialogue
Invented experts with vague credentials
Undefined locations, dates, and sources
Humorous merchandising anecdotes used as filler
Broad claims of internet chaos without evidence

Legitimate reporting does not rely on narrative suspense or anonymous authority.

What Bob Gimlin Has Actually Said

For decades, Bob Gimlin has consistently stated that he and Roger Patterson filmed a real, unknown creature and that he stands by his experience. He has repeatedly declined to embellish or sensationalize the event.

At no point has he suggested the subject was trained, captive, engineered, or part of any hidden program.

Digging a Little Deeper

This actually is a repost simlar to a Facebook Group called "What's for today". They post the same article from yet another dubious source.

But we did find where the title and thumbnail came from!

A Youtube Channel, called "Wild Discovery." It's just a click bait title. The content of the video did nothing but speak a some brief facts about the film with none of the tropes of the web articles.

Bob's truth was simply not wavering from his story according to the video.

Whoever is responsible, they took the idea from a click bait title and simply conjured up a story to fit a narrative, of "woo," and government coverups.

Now if something were the truth, why would they lie within the article?

Simply because they have zero evidence to support any of this nonsense.

Conclusion
The circulating article is not journalism. It is not a leak. It is not a confession.

It is a fictional narrative written in a misleading format that blends invented dialogue, fabricated experts, and conspiracy tropes to create the illusion of a revelation.

Readers are encouraged to verify extraordinary claims using primary sources and documented evidence before sharing sensational stories, this way something doesn't become out of nothing.

Extraordinary claims require evidence. In this case, there is none.

When Provenance Matters: A Case Study in Misappropriated Photographs and Misidentified Tracks

12/1/2025

0 Comments

In the Bigfoot research community, documentation is everything. Photographs, videos, audio files, and field notes gain evidentiary weight only when their provenance, their history, origin, and chain of custody, is clear and demonstrable.

Without that foundation, debates quickly devolve into circular arguments, red herrings, and personality-driven disputes that help no one.

A recent conflict involving a set of 2014 winter track photographs illustrates why investigators must anchor themselves to verifiable facts, not personalities or noise around the edges.

The Provenance of the 2014 Track Photos

The photographs in question were originally posted publicly on Facebook by Will Ulmer on January 19 and 20, 2014, accompanied by commentary indicating he believed the impressions resembled a foot. More to the point, he believed they were Bigfoot tracks. Those same photos later appeared on his Pinterest account within the last six years. Again, logged under his profile and timeline.

Original post 1/19/14 by Will Ulmer.

Video uploaded to Ulmer's YouTube page, 2014.

Follow up post by Ulmer on 1/20/14.

Photos uploaded to Ulmer's Pinterest account, (last updated six years ago in 2019)

There is also a YouTube video created by Ulmer himself, showing him presenting the very same track impressions on camera. That establishes:

Original creation (he was physically present at the scene)
Original recording
Original publication
Temporal documentation (timestamps from 2014)

In provenance terms, this is primary-source-level evidence. Anyone claiming ownership of previously published material must present at least comparable evidence such as metadata or original files.

Without it, any claim is unsupported.

The 2024–2025 Ownership Dispute

A decade later, in late 2024 and even into July 2025, another researcher named Jason Miller surfaced claiming these photographs were actually his. No metadata. No originals. No supporting witnesses.

When challenged to provide proof of ownership, something as simple as:

the original high-resolution files
source device metadata
photographs of himself at the scene with the tracks

None were produced.

Instead, the discussion became mired in deflection tactics:

Red herrings
Shifting claims
Attempts to redirect scrutiny
Attacks on unrelated individuals
Assertions without evidence

From an investigative standpoint, this behavior introduces noise, not data. The absence of proof is not a “side,” nor a matter of opinion but rather it is simply a lack of evidence.

In contrast, the original uploader has a documented, timestamped, and publicly archived timeline, establishing provenance beyond reasonable dispute.

Investigative Principle: Evidence vs. Assertions

A core principle in field investigations, whether Bigfoot-related, forensic, or journalistic, is:
The burden of proof lies with the claimant. Assertions require evidence.
When one party provides:

timestamps
platform history
original uploads
video documentation

…and the other provides only claims, red herrings and noise, the determination is straightforward.

This is not a matter of character or loyalty. It is a matter of documentation.

What the Tracks Actually Show

Ironically, the entire argument erupted around photos that are NOT EVEN Bigfoot tracks.

After a proper look at the photos this is what was revealed:

1. Classic Bear Overstep Pattern
What appears to be a long, humanoid-like print is actually a black bear rear foot stepping into the front foot track—a common distortion in snow. Impressions around the track of similar build indicate, small "heel-toe" gait, and quadrupedalism not bipedalism.

2. Distortion From Substrate
Snow collapses inward, elongates impressions, blurs boundaries, and makes almost any multi-step track look more dramatic than it is.

3. Dollar Bill Scale Shows True Size
A U.S. dollar is 6.14 inches long. These prints measure roughly:

7–9 inches in total distortion
Too small for hominin anatomy
Perfect size for a juvenile or yearling black bear

4. No Hominin Foot Morphology
Missing entirely:

inline toes
arch or midfoot pressure
forefoot widening
consistent bipedal gait spacing

Everything present aligns with bear tracks, not Bigfoot.

Did Ulmer Hoax and/or Intentionally Misinterpret the Tracks?

Make no mistake: bear overstep tracks are among the MOST commonly misidentified impressions in Bigfoot research.

I see no indication that these were hoaxed to resemble anything else than this: a likely case of someone not yet knowing what to look for in the field or taken over by excitement and/or confirmation bias.

The stride pattern alone makes the true identification clear. And as I always caution, be particularly wary of tracks found in snow; melt, collapse, and refreezing can reshape impressions into forms that appear far more dramatic than they are.

It’s also worth noting that excitement and confirmation bias can play a powerful role in these situations. When someone hopes to find evidence, their mind can unintentionally “fill in the blanks,” interpreting known animal tracks similar in shape as something Bigfoot.

That’s why careful analysis and a grounded approach are essential to every investigation.

Implications for Miller's Past and Future Research

Throughout this period, Miller’s online conduct, along with a research "partner", created the impression of attempting to silence legitimate questions.

Rather than providing documentation or clarifying his position, he and his "partner" repeatedly:

dismissed requests for proof
introduced unrelated accusations
attacked the credibility of the person or persons raising the provenance concern
reframed the discussion away from evidence and toward personal conflicts

This behavior does not align with transparent research practice.

In any investigative field, whether scientific or journalistic, responding to criticism by attempting to discredit the critic rather than addressing the claim itself is considered a form of pressure that can come across as bullying, especially in public online spaces.

No claims are being made about motive or intent. What is clear is that the effect of the behavior was to discourage scrutiny and derail the evidentiary discussion.

As the dispute continued, Miller’s "partner" attempted yet another diversionary tactic and secretly recorded a phone call with another researcher and later shared the recording publicly. The individual making the recording was located in a one-party consent state, while the person on the other end of the call was in Washington State, which requires the consent of all participants before a conversation may be legally recorded.

Washington State, which is an all-party consent jurisdiction with some of the strongest privacy protections in the country and the recording potentially falls under Washington’s stricter standards, meaning it may have been unlawful despite the recorder being in a one-party consent state.

If someone in a one-party state records, without consent, a person in an all-party state, they may be exposed to liability under the all-party state’s law, because that state can treat the unconsented recording of its residents as a violation.

While only a court could make a definitive determination, at minimum it raises serious legal and civil issues as well as ethical concerns about recording and broadcasting the call without the Washington researcher’s consent.

Again yet another example of bullying.

When a researcher responds to evidence-based questions with:

unrelated accusations
pressure tactics
efforts to silence dissent
and no supporting documentation
personal attacks
unethical tactics

it inevitably harms their credibility.

By relying on distraction and pressure rather than evidence, Miller and his "partner" further undermined confidence in both their research practices and motivations.

In investigative work, credibility is cumulative. Each case contributes to, or detracts from, the level of confidence others can place in a researcher’s future findings.

When someone makes an unsupported claim of authorship, refuses to provide evidence, and relies on deflection rather than documentation, it has serious implications for how their past and future work is evaluated.

Since he cannot produce basic proof of authorship for these photos, then:

his prior evidence
his future submissions
his claimed field experiences

now must all be viewed with increased skepticism.

Not out of malice, but out of standard methodological necessity.

By making a claim he could not support and then avoiding opportunities to verify it, he has significantly damaged the level of trust that investigators can place in, and damages his, as well as his "partner's" credibility, in current and future research.

The Larger Lesson

This situation is not about personalities or accusations. It is a case study in why provenance matters and why researchers must hold themselves, and each other, to evidentiary standards.

When evidence is solid, documentation clear, and methodology consistent, the truth becomes self-evident:

The photos belong to the documented original uploader from 2014.
The later claims cannot be substantiated by any supporting evidence.
The tracks themselves are not Bigfoot, but bear oversteps.

In the end, this dispute highlights a simple reality:

Arguments collapse when the facts are examined. Evidence doesn’t need defending, only presenting.

Disinformation in Bigfoot Research: Who’s Really Muddying the Waters?

11/20/2025

0 Comments

For decades, Bigfoot research has been split between two competing forces: those working to advance scientific understanding, and those promoting sensational, unverifiable claims.

But if you analyze these dynamics through the lens of real-world disinformation tactics using the same framework used in intelligence and counterintelligence, the picture becomes surprisingly clear.

This blog post breaks down what true disinformation looks like, how it operates, and which behaviors in the Bigfoot field actually line up with it.

What Disinformation Really Is — and What It Isn’t
“Disinformation” isn’t a catch-all term for lies or hoaxes.

It has a specific meaning: Disinformation is the deliberate or accidental introduction of noise, confusion, and false narratives that drown out legitimate inquiry.

A person doesn’t have to be a government agent to function like a disinformation asset.
Ego-driven claims, attention-seeking behavior, or sloppy pseudoscience can produce the same effect:

confusion
fractured communities
loss of credibility
and the derailment of legitimate research

That’s why understanding the behavioral markers is more important than guessing motives.

The Core Elements of a Disinformation Campaign
Across intelligence history, disinformation campaigns share the same playbook:

1. Flood the Field With Noise

Create so much contradictory or sensational content that real data is drowned out.

2. Fragment the Community

Push ideas that divide researchers, turn groups against each other, or create personality cults.

3. Use Scientific-Sounding Language Without Scientific Rigor

Jargon replaces methodology. Claims replace evidence.

4. Introduce Fantastical or Unverifiable Claims

Portals, telepathy, shape-shifting, angel-hybrid DNA, anything that makes the subject look ridiculous.

5. Avoid Transparency and Peer Review

Refuse to share raw data, chain-of-custody, or independent verification.

6. Center the Story Around the Person, Not the Evidence

Disinformation campaigns thrive when followers are told: “Believe me because I’m special,”
not “Believe the evidence because it stands up to scrutiny.”

7. Create Endless Mysteries

Claims are constructed in ways that can never be tested or resolved.

Applying the Framework to the Bigfoot Community

The Scientific Camp

Past researchers like Dr. Jeff Meldrum, Grover Krantz, John Bindernagel focused on:

anatomical studies
track morphology
repeatable patterns
measurable acoustics
behavior derived from known primate analogs
transparent methods

This is the exact opposite of disinformation behavior.
Scientific investigation seeks clarity, reproducibility, and the elimination of noise.
It builds credibility rather than eroding it.

The Pseudoscience/Sensational Camp

Meanwhile, figures who promote wild claims exhibit multiple behavioral markers identical to disinformation campaigns:

refusal to share raw evidence or allow replication
grandiose narratives (daily contact with forest clans, hybrid DNA, telepathy)
staged or unverifiable encounters
dividing the community into “believers” vs “closed-minded critics”
using jargon that has no basis in validated science
building personality-based followings

Whether their motives are attention, money, ego, or something else, the effect is the same as a disinformation operation: They generate confusion, fracture the field, and tarnish the credibility of legitimate scientific efforts.

The Real Damage: Scientific Progress Gets Buried
Disinformation isn’t just an annoyance — it has real consequences.

When sensational claims dominate the public narrative, genuine evidence receives less attention, less respect, and less academic support.

It becomes easier for critics to dismiss the entire field as fringe or delusional.
This is not accidental.

It is exactly what a successful disinformation campaign accomplishes.

And it’s a major reason the Bigfoot field has struggled to gain the recognition and legitimacy that other zoological discoveries have achieved.

Why the Scientific Side Will Never Match Disinformation Behavior
Science relies on structure, data, testability, and transparency.

Disinformation relies on ambiguity, spectacle, and unverifiability.

The two approaches are mutually exclusive.

You cannot conduct a disinformation campaign while simultaneously encouraging replication, peer review, chain-of-custody, or cross-disciplinary analysis.

Researchers like Meldrum, Krantz, and Bindernagel built their reputations on those principles, not on theatrics.

The difference in behavior is night and day.

Conclusion: Who’s Really Muddying the Waters?
It isn’t the people trying to advance zoological and acoustic evidence.

It isn’t the researchers grounding their work in anatomy, ecology, and primatology.
It’s the individuals pushing unverifiable, sensational narratives, intentionally or not,who act as the true disinformation engines in the Bigfoot community.

Their behavior aligns perfectly with the hallmarks of disinformation campaigns:
noise, confusion, division, and loss of credibility.

If the Bigfoot field wants legitimate scientific progress, it must be built on evidence, not entertainment.
And that starts by recognizing which behaviors move the field forward, and which behaviors bury it under chaos.

When Respect Turns Two-Faced: A Personal Note from the Bigfoot Research Field

10/7/2025

2 Comments

Introduction

The Bigfoot research community is, in many ways, a family. We are a small circle of individuals scattered across the country who devote our time, energy, and passion to chasing a mystery most of the world laughs off. In a family, we don’t always agree, and sometimes disagreements can even sharpen our thinking. But what we cannot afford, and what hurts the most is when respect turns into something two-faced.

Filling in for a Giant

Speaking day 1 of the NY BF Conference

When I was asked to fill in for the late Dr. Jeff Meldrum at the New York State Bigfoot Conference, my first reaction was humility. Dr. Meldrum cannot be replaced. His decades of teaching, his scientific rigor, and his willingness to stand against ridicule made him a giant in our field. My role at the conference was never to “replace” him, but to honor him by keeping his seat from being left empty and use it with integrity.

To me, being given that responsibility was one of the greatest honors of my career. I approached it with the utmost seriousness, knowing that I was speaking not only as myself but in tribute to a man who shaped modern Sasquatch research.

The Disappointment

It was in this context that I heard words spoken against me, at the Whitehall Sasquatch Festival, dismissive and disparaging comments from someone I once considered a friend. This person is not a stranger to the field. His own sighting in the mid-1970s gave him credibility, and despite the ridicule he endured in those years, he eventually entered active research around 2003.

I have always respected him for that. We’ve had many friendly interactions over the years, including warm embraces and shared laughs at past events. That’s what made his recent comments so disappointing. Phrases like, “Can you believe, HE, is replacing Meldrum at the NY BF Conference?” and, “He’s a BS'er,” directed toward me not in the spirit of debate, but of derision.

It wasn’t just criticism. It was two-faced behavior: friendliness in person, contempt behind my back.

Twenty-Seven Years of Work

I’ve been researching Sasquatch for over twenty-five years. Since then, I’ve investigated reports across the country, written books, hosted shows, collaborated with scientists, and spent thousands of hours in the field. My journey culminated with two personal sightings that changed perspective of my life.

I don’t claim to be infallible. I’ve made mistakes, learned from them, and corrected course when evidence demanded it. But what I have never done is shy away from honest debate or disrespect those who are trying in good faith to solve the same mystery.

That’s why this cut so deep. After decades of standing by my principles, it wasn’t skepticism that stung me but it was, the under the breath, betrayal from someone I considered a friend. I guess I know better now.

The Bigger Picture

What this incident highlights is a larger issue in our community: integrity. If we demand respect from skeptics, we must first show respect to each other. If we want the world to take us seriously, we cannot afford gossip, backstabbing, or the kind of behavior that makes us look like petty rivals and jealousy, instead of serious researchers.

Disagreements are healthy. But this was not about diasagreements. It was about one being selected over another. And when's one's "footprint" on the national Bigfoot community is much smaller than what he thinks it is, sometimes surprises can sting. His remarks were not based about integrity, evidence or the hard work I put in, it was about one's feelings based on ego and entitlement.

Things like this force us to sharpen our evidence, refine our theories, and look harder for truth. But those disagreements must be honest, not personal attacks. When words turn toxic, we lose focus on what matters most: the evidence, the science, and the pursuit of understanding a creature that continues to elude us.

A Personal Message

Speaking Day 2 at the NY BF Conference

To the individual who made those remarks: I considered you a friend. I respected your story, your courage in holding to it through ridicule, and the contributions you’ve made since stepping into active research. We have shared kind words and moments of friendship, and I never imagined I would hear the things I did.

Your words hurt, not because I can’t handle criticism, but because they revealed a two-facedness, ego-driven personal attack I didn’t expect from you. If you felt that way, I would have much preferred you to do what a man does: Say it directly to me. Debate me. Disagree with me. Challenge me.

But don’t smile to my face while trying to tear me down behind my back.

Life is too short, and this field is too small, for that kind of behavior. I hope you reflect on this. I will still extend respect toward you, as I always have, but I cannot look at you the same way again.

For the sake of this community, for the sake of the work, and for the sake of our shared passion, I hope you choose honesty and integrity over whispers and insults. Because in the end, all we really have is our word.

Another Point of Friction

Whitehall Sasquatch Calling Contest 2025

Just before the Whitehall Sasquatch Festival, another situation surfaced around the Whitehall Sasquatch Festival.

Someone complained that they had made less money vending there in one particular year and laid the blame at the feet of the organizers, suggesting it was because the speaker rotations hadn’t been changed.

I immediately came to the festival’s defense. Attendance has increased every single year, as has the vendor count. Clearly, the festival is doing something right. Instead of blaming the venue, which has been thriving, I suggested this person look inward as a business owner and ask: What could I be doing better?

When I offered constructive feedback like, perhaps give a presentation, perhaps avoid splitting a tent with another vendor, both of which could help draw more attention; the response was defensive. He denied there were any flaws in his approach.

But here’s the reality: at a festival, people come for fun, community, and celebration. They’re there to enjoy the atmosphere, buy a few items, and have a good time. Presentations, while welcome, aren’t the main draw. That’s the distinction between a festival and a conference. And as the festival grew, so did the amount of vendors present. So his logic is flawed.

Conferences are research-driven, where attendees are looking to learn from speakers and dive into data, history, and evidence. Festivals are about community spirit, lighter education, and good-natured fun. When we fail to understand those differences, we set ourselves up for misplaced expectations and misplaced blame.

Moving Forward

Selfie time with the crowd!

For my part, I will not let this change how I operate. I will continue to research with honesty and rigor. I will continue to publish findings, even when they invite criticism. And I will continue to embrace those in this community, even when they may not extend the same respect back. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY... I will have fun!

But I will also say this plainly: words matter. Respect matters.

If we cannot stand behind each other with integrity, then we are doing more harm to Bigfoot research than any skeptic could ever achieve.

Dr. Meldrum’s passing reminds us that our time here is short. Let us not waste it tearing one another down (hoaxers and crap-peddlers are excluded).

Let us instead build something lasting, rooted in science, respect, and a shared passion for uncovering the truth.

Lessons to be Learned: The Collapse of Trust - A Case Study

9/29/2025

0 Comments

Introduction

In Bigfoot research, credibility is everything. Once it is lost, no amount of discoveries or claims can restore it. Unfortunately, history has shown how quickly reputations can collapse when researchers go down the path of excuses, wild theories, or doubling down on falsehoods.

We have seen it before: MK Davis, once respected for his early analysis of the Patterson–Gimlin film, destroyed his credibility with his staunch defense of the so-called "PG Massacre Theory" along with promotion of the Mike Sells hoax videos. Chris Noel, a talented communicator, undermined his standing by insisting a porcupine in a tree was a juvenile Bigfoot, and even writing a book claiming Rick Dyer actually shot and possessed a Sasquatch body.

Melba Ketchum: A Case Study of Excuses, Missteps, and Psychological Blind Spots

Then there is Melba Ketchum. A veterinarian who inserted herself into the world of genetics and forensic DNA analysis, she made excuses at every turn, never acknowledged her mistakes, and overstated her authority. From the Bigfoot DNA study that collapsed under the weight of fraudulent peer review claims, to her professional negligence in forensic testimony, the pattern is the same. What began as the pursuit of discovery ended as a cautionary tale of self-inflicted ruin.

Timeline of the Ketchum Study DNA Saga

2012–2013: Manuscript submissions
Ketchum submitted her DNA manuscript to multiple journals. It was rejected at least five times.
January 2013: JAMEZ and the peer-review claim
She submitted the work to JAMEZ, a new online journal built on Scholastica’s platform. She later claimed the study had passed peer review there, but the “proof” surfaced as a fabricated document not generated by Scholastica.
February 2013: Claim of publication
Ketchum publicly announced that her paper was published. At first, this suggested acceptance by a legitimate scientific journal. Soon, however, mainstream media revealed the truth: the “journal” was DeNovo, which she had acquired and launched solely to host her own paper.
2013: Taxonomic sleight of hand
She promoted a new scientific name for Sasquatch, claiming it was accepted by ZooBank. Without peer review or a type specimen, this registration was meaningless.
2013–2014: The Peru skull DNA project
Partnering with Brien Foerster, she accepted money to analyze elongated skulls. More than a year later, no results had been provided, and she requested six-figure sums to continue testing.

 By the end, DeNovo shut down after producing a single issue, her own paper, leaving a legacy of failed claims and fractured credibility.

Excuses in the Bigfoot DNA Case

Rejection is normal in science, but instead of revising her work or addressing flaws, Ketchum insisted her paper had already been validated and moved to self-publish.
When the peer-review “proof” was revealed as a hoax, she deflected with claims of sabotage and persecution. In the Peru skull case, she took funds without delivering results, then pivoted to demanding more money. At every stage, she shifted blame outward and avoided accountability.

Who the Texas Forensic Science Commission Is, and Why It Matters

To appreciate the gravity of what came later, readers must understand the role of the Texas Forensic Science Commission (TFSC). Established by the state legislature, the TFSC ensures that forensic science in Texas courts is reliable, accredited, and held to professional standards. It investigates complaints of negligence or misconduct and has the authority to issue formal rulings on the quality and integrity of forensic work.

In 2021, the Harris County Public Defender’s Office filed a complaint regarding Ketchum’s testimony in a capital murder trial where canine mitochondrial DNA was presented. After reviewing records, interviewing Ketchum, and consulting the national accrediting body, the Commission issued its final report in January 2022.

Brought out in the hearing and ruling:

Failure to obtain accreditation: “The Commission finds Ketchum was professionally negligent in failing to achieve accreditation for the laboratory before performing forensic analysis and offering related testimony.”
Misleading testimony: “Her testimony constituted professional misconduct because she was aware of and consciously disregarded an accepted standard of practice in failing to provide a quantitative statement about the outcome of her analysis.”
Contradicting her own prior publication: Years earlier, she co-authored a paper affirming that forensic DNA requires both qualitative and quantitative interpretation. The Commission noted that her testimony ignored this very standard.

This was not a minor criticism. It was a formal state ruling that her conduct in a criminal case fell below accepted professional standards.

How The Bigfoot DNA Saga Deviated from Scientific Practice

Peer review integrity
Legitimate science depends on authentic, independent peer review. Substituting a fabricated document in its place undermines the foundation of the process.
Publication practices
Discovery requires external scrutiny. Creating a personal journal to bypass rejection eliminates the independent validation that gives science credibility.
Taxonomy
Proper naming of a species requires peer-reviewed publication and a curated type specimen. Filing a name without those requirements is scientifically hollow.
Funding accountability
Science demands that funding leads to results. Accepting money while failing to deliver outcomes and then demanding more which violates public trust.

Parallels Between the DNA Study and the Commission’s Findings

Bypassing standards
In Bigfoot research, she bypassed legitimate journals. In court, she bypassed the state requirement for laboratory accreditation.
Misleading claims
In Bigfoot research, she leaned on a hoaxed peer-review document. In court, she misled jurors with claims of “identical DNA sequences” lacking statistical foundation.
Inflated expertise
Veterinary credentials do not confer expertise in human DNA sequencing or forensic statistics, yet she repeatedly presented herself as an authority in both.
Excuse-making
Conspiracies, sabotage, resource shortages — the explanations changed, but the refusal to take responsibility never did.

The Psychology Behind the Excuses

Illusionary superiority
A consistent belief that her work was groundbreaking, despite overwhelming contrary evidence.
Cognitive dissonance
The discomfort of repeated rejection was soothed by inventing narratives of cover-ups and persecution rather than acknowledging error.
The Dunning–Kruger effect
With limited formal training in genetics and sequencing, she vastly overestimated her competence, amplifying the consequences of her overreach.

Cognitive Bias and Ketchum’s Bigfoot Encounters: Theory over Evidence

Melba Ketchum not only claimed she conducted genetic research, she also asserted personal experiences and observations that placed her in the role of both observer and interpreter. Over time, those claims and the narrative she built around them suggest cognitive bias at work — she allowed her beliefs and expectations to shape how she saw (or reported) evidence, rather than letting raw data challenge her assumptions.
Here are key points and examples:

Self-reported sightings as belief reinforcement
Ketchum told media she had “seen 5 [Bigfoot] that day” with absolute certainty: “Oh yeah. There’s no doubt in my mind.” (as reported by KTRE) By placing herself in the role of eyewitness, she framed her belief in Bigfoot as a lived reality. That narrative makes it psychologically harder later to accept data that contradicts her belief.
Interpreting ambiguous “evidence” to fit theory
She published a blurry, stick-arrangement photo she claimed was made by creatures in the forest. The image was indistinct, but she used it to support her narrative that Bigfoot are “peaceful and gentle.” Such ambiguous visuals invite interpretive flexibility: believers see pattern, skeptics see noise.
Overconfidence in narrative consistency
In one interview, she dismissed doubt and implied alignment between her DNA claims and video evidence: she said in Texas that she tested a “red haired gene” in a video subject that matched her DNA sample, claiming the video matched the lab result. This suggests she expected her observational claims and lab work to conform — a setup for ignoring inconsistencies or anomalies that don’t fit.
Claiming hybrid origin before full data validation
In her published (in DeNovo) work, she proposed that Bigfoot are a human hybrid — male of an unknown hominin species crossing with female Homo sapiens. She announced this bold, novel hypothesis before independent peer review, relying on her certainty more than on robust external validation.This is the reverse of the usual scientific method, where hypothesis is tested and refined by data; in her case the hypothesis appears to lead the interpretation of data.
Mixing folklore, emotion, and science
Ketchum crafted a blended narrative of Bigfoot as indigenous “people,” with language, traditions, rights. She pushed for governmental recognition of Bigfoot as a native population.That ideological framing increases emotional investment in the hypothesis, making contradictory evidence more threatening to her worldview.
Ignoring “unknowns” or assigning them to conspiracy
Critics note that when DNA results were ambiguous, rather than admitting uncertainty or contamination, she often framed the absence or ambiguity of results as proof of suppression, interference, or conspiratorial obstruction. (Critiques of her project often observe that she refused to make raw data available for independent review.) That pattern indicates bias: ambiguous or negative results are dismissed, while positive or aligning results are emphasized.

How This Bias Undermines Scientific Integrity

Cherry-picking data
If you expect to find a hybrid hominin, you may unconsciously emphasize sequences, visuals, or anomalies that seem to support it, and downplay or discard the rest.
Confirmation bias
Her stated belief in Bigfoot and her encounters predisposed her to accept weak, ambiguous, or contaminant-prone data as confirmation rather than skepticism.
Circular reasoning
Because she positioned her lab claims and field observations as mutually supporting, any contradiction might be rationalized away rather than prompting revision of her hypothesis.
Resistance to falsification
Accepting doubt or negative evidence would require admitting error or changing the hypothesis. The cognitive structure built into her narrative made that psychologically costly.
Overconfidence in self-diagnosed expertise
Her lack of formal training in genetics and sequencing combined with bold declarations (e.g., claiming hybrid origin) fits a pattern where overconfidence drives biased interpretation rather than cautious, evidence-led conclusions.

Integrity Shattered

In both science and law, integrity is everything. The fraudulent claim of passing peer review and the hoaxed document destroyed trust in her Bigfoot research. The Texas Forensic Science Commission’s ruling of negligence and misconduct shattered her credibility as a forensic witness.

This collapse was not the result of a single mistake but of a repeating pattern: overstated authority, refusal of accountability, reliance on excuses, and misleading claims.

Conclusion

The cautionary tale of Melba Ketchum is not just about Bigfoot DNA or one trial. It is about how reputations collapse when excuses replace responsibility, when amateurs overstate their expertise, and when science is bent to fit personal narratives rather than truth. Her legacy is not discovery, but discredited claims, broken trust, and the psychology of denial.

For Bigfoot researchers and scientists alike, the lesson is clear: trust, once lost, is nearly impossible to regain.

Our Standard at Squatchdetective.com

When possible, we consult with veteran researchers and experts across multiple fields to validate or nullify evidence.
We double-check their work, and if there is dispute, we rebut with science, investigatory principles, and open dialogue.
We do not fall back on "conspiracies" or "jealousy" as explanations.
If we are wrong, or if we lack expertise in a particular area, we correct the record.

 That is how credibility is maintained and how research moves forward. See below for some of the receipts in this article!

Taking a Closer Look at David Zigan’s Poplar Bluff Critique

9/16/2025

1 Comment

First, a genuine thank you to David Zigan for the time and energy he devoted to reviewing our Poplar Bluff photo analysis. Scientific, forensic, and Bigfoot research needs this kind of rigorous scrutiny to grow stronger. Engaging critically with evidence, even when we disagree, elevates the field and keeps all of us accountable.

What Zigan Raised

In his paper, Zigan argued that:

Our reported height range (quoted by him as 8.25–11.5 ft) was overly precise.
Small fore-aft distance differences invalidated our pixel-ratio calculations.
Using manufacturer field-of-view data compromised our distance estimates.
Lighting, reflections, and the lack of detected tampering hinted at inconsistency or bias.
We may have spoken with the witness before completing measurements, potentially influencing our results.

Dehazed photo

Side by side comparison (Scaled accurately)

Where The Analysis Differ

Misquoted Height Range: Our report clearly stated 8.5–10.5 ft, not 11.5 ft. Expanding our numbers exaggerated the point about precision. Those were the original numbers prior to the water level difference range.
Distance Exaggeration: At ~100 ft, a three-foot offset changes scale by only about 3%, comfortably within our ±0.5 ft tolerance. This still places the unsub into a "likely taller than human/likely fauna spectrum." But does not authenticate this as being Bigfoot or Sasquatch.
Field-of-View Misuse: FOV specs were used only as an independent check, not the foundation of our height calculation, which relied on in-scene control ratios that cancel out FOV differences.
Incorrect Witness Timeline: The claim that we consulted the witness before measurements is incorrect. We performed the geometric analysis first, then interviewed the witness afterward as a post-hoc validation step.

Areas of Agreement

To be fair, Zigan’s reminder to be transparent about potential lighting differences and to emphasize error margins is entirely valid. These are important considerations in photogrammetry and image forensics, and we appreciate those reminders.

Clarifying Our Methodology

Our workflow included:

Pixel-Ratio Analysis: Primary method for height estimation.
Water-Depth Bracketing: Adjusted for changing water levels to produce a range, not a single value.
Secondary FOV Check: Used manufacturer specs only as a cross-check, not a main factor.
Forensic Tools: Employed Forensically modules, EXIF checks, and hash verification to confirm file integrity.

Psychological Context of the Submitter

Although our published analysis omitted a psychological profile, for security reasons, privately we noted the submitter appears earnest, detail-oriented, and motivated by genuine curiosity rather than attention-seeking. This informal observation has no bearing on the image measurements but adds human context.

The recent viral publication of photos on world-wide media, was a result of a memeber of the media monitoring the BFRO website, not that of the submitter's doing, hence the quoting of the BFRO website rather than the witness himself.

Invitation for Further Peer Review

We welcome additional independent reviews or replications using the same image set. Constructive scrutiny benefits the entire research community and strengthens our collective understanding.

Our Disclaimer Still Stands

We wrote: “No positive artifacts of manipulation were detected at the available resolution and compression level. Undetectable edits cannot be completely excluded.”

That remains our position: a cautious, transparent statement, not an absolute claim of authenticity.

The Broader Lesson

This exchange underscores that Bigfoot research, like any investigative science, must pair open-minded curiosity with disciplined rigor. Respectful debate, grounded in facts and careful analysis, is how the field advances. Thanks again to David Zigan for contributing to that process.

Closing Thoughts

David Zigan’s effort demonstrates the rigor our field deserves. Even when critiques contain errors or assumptions, (some caused by our own oversight) they push us to clarify methods and sharpen standards and point out mistakes we make. By addressing misquotes, mistakes and correcting the witness timeline, on both sides of the analysis we keep Bigfoot research grounded in evidence and respectful debate, a principle we’ll always uphold.

Robert Kryder’s Post: Disrespect Disguised as Reflection

9/15/2025

3 Comments

The Bigfoot research community is still reeling from the loss of Dr. Jeff Meldrum, a scientist whose decades of anatomical expertise, fieldwork, and rigorous analysis elevated the conversation around Sasquatch from campfire tales to serious inquiry. Jeff’s passing has prompted an outpouring of heartfelt tributes, gratitude, and grief from researchers, witnesses, and enthusiasts alike.

Against this backdrop, Robert Kryder’s Facebook post is jarring. After a cursory “RIP,” Kryder pivots into an attempt at veiled celebration, suggesting that a “dam is cracked” and that “truth” will now “flood” the valleys cleared of “long-standing sediment of missinfo.” He even frames this moment as a shift to a “world of the ancient ape” where “relic human” can “enter the room.”

One would have thought Kryder would have absorbed some hard lessons after last week’s events. In a moment when the wider public is reckoning with how careless words can inspire division or worse, Kryder had a clear choice: show restraint and empathy, or double down. Instead, he chose to twist a respected man’s death into veiled double-speak, subtly celebrating a colleague’s absence because their views differed, and even using the moment to hint at his own political agenda.

What makes Kryder’s words especially distasteful is the unmistakable sense of celebration threaded through his post. Rather than simply offering condolences or expressing disagreement with Dr. Meldrum’s ideas, he used Jeff’s passing as an opening to declare that “the dam is cracked” and “truth seeps free,” as if a respected scientist’s death were some kind of victory for his personal narrative.

His framing—that long-standing “misinfo” has now been “cleared” and that “relic human” can now “enter the room”—isn’t just an observation about differing viewpoints. It reads like triumphalism: a public smirk at the removal of someone whose meticulous, science-based approach didn’t align with his own theories. In a moment when the community should be unified in mourning and respect, Kryder chose ego and opportunism over empathy.

Kryder’s invocation of “the world of the ancient ape” and “relic human” betrays a shaky grasp of the very concepts he invokes. In paleoanthropology, “relict hominin” is a term cautiously used to suggest the survival of anatomically modern or archaic human lineages—not a blanket label for every unknown primate report. To call Sasquatch an “ancient ape” and contrast it with “relic human” conflates two very different categories: non-hominin primates and members of the genus Homo.

Kryder further exposes his misunderstanding of basic anthropology and genetics when he casually labels Sasquatch a “relic human.” In biological and paleoanthropological terms, “human” refers specifically to Homo sapiens—our own species. A creature that, as reported in credible sightings and footprint casts, exhibits markedly different foot structure, limb proportions, and skull morphology would, by definition, represent a separate branch of the hominin family tree. Such pronounced anatomical differences imply significant genetic divergence—a DNA structure distinct from modern humans.

Meldrum understood and communicated these nuances, grounding his discussions in comparative anatomy and evolutionary biology. Kryder’s careless wording collapses those distinctions, revealing a lack of scientific rigor and a readiness to misuse terminology to bolster his narrative.

The idea that people “blindly followed” Dr. Meldrum is simply false. Researchers and enthusiasts did not follow him without thought or scrutiny; they respected him because he brought scientific insight and careful analysis to a field often mired in speculation. At times they also criticized him for his forays with Todd Standing. But I understand under the guise of science why he did. His willingness to apply academic rigor, even when unpopular, challenged everyone, including himself, to separate evidence from wishful thinking. That’s not blind faith; that’s intellectual honesty.

Disagreement is healthy. Differing hypotheses are essential to progress. But publicly framing a colleague’s death as the removal of “old lies” crosses a line. It dismisses the humanity of a man who dedicated his career to open inquiry and elevates personal grievance over the collective pursuit of knowledge. Perhaps Kryder is another one we should consider “canceling,” based on his lack of empathy, his celebratory prose of a fallen pioneer and egotism.

As the community mourns Jeff Meldrum, we should also reflect on the example he set: debate passionately, investigate rigorously, but respect those who share the quest for understanding—even when their conclusions diverge from our own. Kryder’s words are a reminder of what happens when ego overtakes empathy. We can, and must, do better.

Fellow Bigfoot researchers and community members,
Following Dr. Jeff Meldrum’s passing, our community has rallied with heartfelt tributes—including a beautiful remembrance video on another user’s YouTube channel. Unfortunately, Jameson Duffy (Facebook), also known as “MrDuffy81” on YouTube, has crossed a serious line:

Two weeks ago he posted profane, threatening messages directed at me, Steve Kulls, on Facebook—language that included personal insults and implied violence.
Today he left the comment (among others) “The guy is gone and I’m glad” under a tribute video for Dr. Meldrum on another user’s channel, exploiting a moment of mourning to continue his hostility.

This behavior is unacceptable and harmful. Threats and toxic rhetoric erode trust, discourage participation, and risk provoking real-world harm.
Call to Action

Delete and Block: If Jameson Duffy / MrDuffy81 appears in your forums, groups, or channels, remove his comments and block him immediately.
Protect Tribute Spaces: Keep memorial and remembrance posts free of harassment or disrespect.
Document & Report: Take screenshots of threats and report them to platform moderators or, if necessary, local authorities.
Model Respect: Uphold Dr. Meldrum’s legacy—debate evidence passionately but treat people with dignity.

By taking these steps, we preserve a safe, respectful environment for honest investigation and honor Dr. Meldrum’s memory the way he would have wanted.

EVIDENCE: ***(WARNING EXPLICIT & GRAPHIC CONTENT)***

The above are just two examples of his comment posts. Do not engage with the subject if he shows up on comments, just immediately report and block. If you live in the greater Colorado area, contact your local law enforcement.

Toxic Rhetoric in the Bigfoot Community – A Message from Steve

9/13/2025

0 Comments

In years past, the Bigfoot research community has seen a troubling rise in inflammatory language. Accusations like “misinformation agent,” conspiracy-style claims such as a supposed “Bigfoot massacre,” and even whispered blame for a respected female researcher’s tragic passing have crossed from heated debate into personal attacks.

Worse, some comments have included threats: “Someone should show up at your presentation and teach you a lesson,” and outright threats of physical violence directed toward fellow researchers.

Why This Matters Beyond Bigfoot

Passion fuels research and discussion in any niche field, but unchecked hostility corrodes trust, drives away honest contributors, and tarnishes the credibility of everyone involved. When debates about evidence or methodology turn into character assassinations, or threats of violence, they create an atmosphere of fear rather than inquiry.

This week’s shocking new of the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk has dominated headlines and shaken communities across the spectrum. Regardless of anyone’s politics, the event underscores how dangerous rhetoric and dehumanization can be.

Words do not exist in a vacuum: casual talk of “teaching someone a lesson,” "blaming them for horrendous acts without evidence or vilifying opponents as enemies plants seeds for escalation.

The Bigfoot community is far removed from national politics, but the principle holds; when anger and suspicion replace respectful discourse, tragedy becomes more conceivable.

Dangerous Words, Vulnerable Ears

Inflammatory talk can incite people to do terrible things, especially those less inclined to consider consequences or those for whom empathy holds no meaning. When rhetoric appeals to anger, paranoia, or ego, it can influence unstable individuals to act on impulses that most would reject.

The Bigfoot world may seem far removed from national events, but these dynamics are universal. A single reckless phrase can ripple outward, with consequences no one intended.

Keeping Dialogue Civil and Safe

Disagree Without Degrading. Challenge evidence and logic, not the person. Avoid labels like “agent” or “plant” unless you have verifiable proof.
Call Out Threats Promptly. Even “jokes” about violence or intimidation erode trust. Report or address them calmly and publicly.
Model Transparency and Fairness. Share methods, data, and reasoning openly to reduce paranoia and rumor.
Support Each Other’s Humanity. Remember that behind every username or conference badge is a person with family, friends, and feelings.

A Chance to Recommit to Integrity

Charlie Kirk’s killing is a grim reminder of the potential consequences when rhetoric spirals. The Bigfoot world may seem like a small pond, but we have an opportunity to set a higher bar: evidence over ego, discussion over division, and compassion over contempt.

If we can disagree fiercely about footprints or films or whatever Bigfoot is, yet still respect each other’s dignity, we honor not just our subject of study but the broader principle that civil discourse saves lives.

Just for a little while, let's all just love one another.

Another Reporter Hit-Piece

9/4/2025

2 Comments

Amanda Waltz’s Pittsburgh City Paper article, “Overthinking Bigfoot, the Most Pennsylvanian Cryptid,” spends less time engaging with the actual evidence or research presented at the Bigfoot Camping Adventure, and more time painting attendees as stereotypes. She describes the crowd as “overwhelmingly white men,” frames Bigfoot as “the most libertarian cryptid,” and even drags in colonization and immigrant history to make Bigfoot a metaphor instead of a mystery.

What makes this all the more curious is that Waltz herself used to co-host Ghoul on Ghoul, a “supernatural, sex-positive horror-comedy” podcast covering ghosts, true crime, cryptids, and other paranormal oddities.

In other words, she actively participates in the same world of fringe and supernatural culture that she mocks in print. It’s hard not to see the double standard: when it’s her brand, the paranormal is fun, spooky, and worth exploring but when ordinary people gather to talk about Bigfoot, suddenly it’s a political science essay on demographics and libertarian stereotypes.

This disconnect makes it even clearer why a rebuttal is needed.

Rebuttal to “Overthinking Bigfoot”

Bringing Demographics into the Mix
Reducing Bigfoot enthusiasts to “overwhelmingly white men” is not only inaccurate but dismissive. Bigfoot research and fandom are remarkably diverse, including women, families, Indigenous voices, scientists, and curious everyday people. Attendees don’t fit neatly into a political stereotype; they’re united by curiosity, not ideology.

Colonization and Background Assumptions
Waltz drags colonization and immigrant history into the discussion, claiming Bigfoot represents everything from displaced Indigenous communities to Pennsylvania Dutch settlers. That’s a convenient narrative device, but it’s not how the subject is studied or experienced. Indigenous “wild man” traditions long predate colonial history, and they deserve respect on their own terms rather than being reduced to metaphors for someone else’s essay.

Questioning Motivation
The suggestion that believers are mostly libertarians with candy bars in their pockets trivializes the serious side of this subject. Many researchers apply scientific principles such as using photogrammetry, bioacoustic studies, and forensic anthropology to analyze evidence. Fieldwork isn’t driven by political leanings; it’s driven by data and by witnesses who want answers to profound experiences.

Respect for Subculture
Waltz claims she doesn’t believe in Bigfoot but seems to view the community through a lens of irony, as if the colorful characters are more noteworthy than the substance. But for those who’ve had life-changing encounters, and for researchers who have devoted decades to collecting evidence, these events are far more than quirky fairs. They’re support systems and forums for open inquiry.

Hypocrisy and Double Standards
Perhaps most striking is the double standard: Waltz herself co-hosts Ghoul on Ghoul, a podcast that thrives on discussing ghosts, cryptids, and the paranormal in a sex-positive, horror-comedy format. When she does it, the supernatural is “fun” and “worth exploring.” But when everyday people gather to talk about Bigfoot, and have some fun with it also, it suddenly becomes an exercise in stereotyping demographics and assigning political labels. That contradiction undermines the credibility of her critique and highlights that what she mocks in others is what she profitted from in her own work.

Conclusion
It’s a shame when a reporter can’t put aside their own political lens. Instead of covering the event for what it was — a gathering of people curious about an enduring mystery. Waltz filters everything through politics. By reducing attendees by labeling them, to demographics and shoehorning in libertarian labels, she misses the bigger picture: that Bigfoot research is about evidence, wilderness preservation, and human experience, not party lines or ideology. There were people from all political spectrums there, just to note! And finally alluding to Bigfoot representing "disenfranchisement". SAY WHAT?

Bigfoot isn’t a metaphor for libertarianism, colonization, or sociology 101. It’s an ongoing mystery supported by eyewitness reports, physical track evidence, and unexplained audio recordings across the continent. The community isn’t a caricature; it’s a cross-section of people drawn together by curiosity and a respect for wilderness. Instead of reducing that to stereotypes, we should be asking the real question: What evidence is out there, and what does it tell us? It should be about the evidence, the encounters, and the ongoing pursuit of answers to one of North America’s greatest natural mysteries.
