David is a businessman who has hit on a hot topic and brought up some of the mysteries surrounding missing people who went into the forest and vanished. Is bigfoot the cause for 411 missing people or aliens? There have been hundreds of abducted people that many claim have been the work of aliens who may prey on solo hikers where there are no witnesses. Paulides probably embellishes the subject matter to tweak public interest. Now if he was a billionaire like Bill Gates who doesn't need to live off of book sales, he would probably not need to embellish the true facts of missing person cases. Would his books have been a big flop if this was the case? He has brought a lot of attention to bigfoot that may have falsely given bigfoot a bad name. On the other hand, he has brought lots of attention to bigfoot that might someday cause bigfoot to be protected by federal laws. Read what Wikipedia says about Paulides: ".............. is an American former police officer who is now an investigator and writer known primarily for his books dedicated to proving the reality of Bigfoot, and establishing the Missing 411 conspiracy theory. Missing 411 is a series of self-published books and films, which document cases of people who have gone missing in national parks and elsewhere, and assert that circumstances surrounding these cases are unusual and mysterious, although data analysis suggests that the disappearances themselves are not statistically significant or particularly unusual."

Dude! Get a grip!🥴 (Go over to the JREF and ask if Meldrum or Patterson or Bindernagel is a “snake oil salesman”)

And not just because he roams the woods and cornfields in a perfect state of nudity. Published in the Wyoming Democrat (Tunkhannock, PA) on September 25, 1872.

Norseman, You keep defending David Paulides like he’s some kind of truth-teller, but let’s call it what it is: he’s profiting off lies about people’s deaths. That isn’t “investigation,” it’s exploitation. He takes real tragedies, bends the facts to fit his storyline, and then sells books and lectures off other people’s grief. That’s not respectable — it’s predatory. The ethical problem with propping him up is simple: when you defend him, you’re defending someone who manipulates families’ worst moments for money. Imagine losing someone you love and then watching a stranger twist the circumstances of their death into some “mystery” just to move units. It’s disgusting. You can’t just shrug this off by saying he “raises questions.” Questions built on distortions aren’t curiosity, they’re snake oil. If Paulides really cared about truth, he wouldn’t have to lie about the details. But he does, over and over again, because mystery sells. So yeah, keep backing him if you want, but understand what you’re actually defending: not the pursuit of answers, but a business model built on misleading the public and exploiting the dead. That’s the ethical weight on your shoulders when you prop him up. I get that you don't think Sasquatch makes tree structures, but at least that guy isn't standing on the graves of the dead, harassing families of the dead, and making money off of lying. I am done responding to this thread. Carry on.

Hi I from NC and lived in WV, been hunting bigfoot for years since I saw my first one why I was little. It work in IT and have invested heavily in some advance technology with AI to help me in my endeavor of proving they are real.

The first story (and others that are basically the same) describes the wild man as "perfectly nude" but also covered by hair. However, a local man accused of exposing himself to a school teacher was arrested and the "wild man" was declared a hoax.

the dna report says the sample was black bear and human. bigfoot dna comes back as human. smeja killed a bigfoot "Based on the amount of human and black bear mitochondrial DNA amplification, it was estimated that approximately 10% of the functional mitochondrial template DNA from sample Huggins_1 originated from Black Bear (Ursus americanus) (Figure A1) and approximately 15% of the functional mitochondrial template DNA from sample Huggins_1 originated from human (Homo sapiens) (Figure A2)". "The study, which sequenced three whole Sasquatch nuclear genomes, shows that the legendary Sasquatch is extant in North America and is a human relative that arose approximately 13,000 years ago and is hypothesized to be a hybrid cross of modern Homo sapiens with a novel primate species. A species name, Homo sapiens cognatus, has been applied for through ZooBank. "Cognatus," from the Latin "con" (with) and "natus" (born), means "blood relative." " ‘Bigfoot’ DNA sequenced in upcoming genetics study

At least, that's the "official" story. At first they said it was a kangaroo, apparently due to the great leaps it could make when getting away.

Yah yah! I am tracking now.

Awesome. Yah if Paulides isn’t accurate? I not here to “prop him up”. And I am sure that the Martin family wants closure. Too bad that it wasn’t him.

A skeleton of a boy around the size of dennis martin was found in the 80's by ginseng poachers. The skeleton was found in the general vicinity of where he was reported missing. If i recall he disappeared in 1969. I'm not saying it was an open and closed case but if a skeleton of a boy that was around the size of dennis martin was found in the area that he went missing it kinda looks less likely that sasquatch abducted him. To be fair tho, it was never proven to be dennis martin. Heres Googles gemini overview. Again, if i recall, it was a skeleton and not just remains. No, the skeletal remains found in Tremont's Big Hollow in the Great Smoky Mountains were not those of Dennis Martin. In 1985, a ginseng hunter reported finding the remains of a small child, but a search of the area yielded nothing. The remains were never identified as Dennis Martin, and the mystery surrounding his 1969 disappearance remains unsolved.

Not "most." About 50/50. The other half allow you to shoot, at any time, anything not specifically regulated. My state is one of these.

Wow, read Justin Smeja bigfoot dna report and we discussed this story on bigfoot forum in 2013 : Final Report - Huggins 12-019 (November 19 2012).pdf - Google Drive

Feb 20, 2025 "In 2010, Justin Smeja and his hunting partner shot and killed a Sasquatch creature. Fearing the consequences, they hastily buried the body. Their actions led to a cascade of events that changed the Bigfoot world forever." This cost $7 to play this video.........................sorry. Maybe someone on the forum has joined and can tell us if the video is worth it? "A Citrus Heights man who appeared on the reality TV show “10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty” was arrested over the weekend on accusations he violated state Fish and Wildlife laws in Sierra County, authorities said. Justin Samuel Smeja, 31, faces felony charges of perjury and filing a false or forged instrument with the state. He faces misdemeanor accusations involving bear tags, as well as unlawful taking and possession of an animal, Nevada County Jail reports state." “There are some alleged games being played with those tags for hunting deer and bear,” said Capt. Patrick Foy, with the law enforcement division of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife." Reality TV Bigfoot hunter, Justin Smeja, faces hunting charges in Sierra County | News | theunion.com Did anyone ever dig up the grave of the bigfoot or was it a hoax?

Correct.........but he had a "visit" not long after his story went viral. They appearred to have their legal case essentially handed to them by the sasquatch community online. When the DNA analysis came back as bear, they charged him. This was a perfect example of government remaining quiet until their case was handed to them with a beautiful bow tied to it. They didn't even have to pay for the lab work or a trial. Smeja was pretty much left with nothing to do but plead guilty.

You can keep repeating the same thing over and over again. But you have not shown that David Paulides or more importantly the Dennis Martin case is a “con job”. It happened. Along with a lot of other weird cases. And if following a YouTube channel guy that walks around in the woods looking at sticks supposedly placed there by Bigfoot isn’t a con job? I don’t know what is. 🤷‍♂️

The charges were NOT for shooting Bigfoot.
