Hi there,
I am absolutely astonished that anyone would give Rick Dyer the benefit of the doubt. He is motivated to hoax and hoodwink, that's it.
The build up alone to finding out that the tent video was from Rick Dyer should be enough to raise the red flags. But of course, he didn't want people to know it was him, because he wants Redemption after the Georgia hoax.
To me, the Tent video doesn't show the face of a living creature - it looks like a lifeless mask. I don't see moving tendons or a scapula as jokers experts FBFB contest. I think that's why video evidence just won't do - it's very subjective.
One thing we know for sure is that Minnow Films are making a documentary - Of Monsters and Men - which is being billed as "A Fascinating and touching portrait of men who are obsessed with monsters and their adventures to find them". This doesn't sound like a film that will show the cold-blooded killing of the most important scientific discovery ever, and the subsequent fist-fight with Dyer and the production team in the aftermath of the shooting. I urge you to look at Minnow's website. Some of the films they have made are slightly left-field, but they are not about sensasionalism. They look at the human side to each story, what makes people tick, why they do what they do.
Rick Dyer will not get rich from being involved with a smallish but successful UK production company. If he really shot a Bigfoot, he wouldn't make his fortune from the UK. There is hardly any interest in Bigfoot at all. Wouldn't he be better going to one of the major US news channels? Or do people seriously think that, lo and behold, he managed not only to film the world's most elusive animal one day, then shoot it the next, in the company of a UK production crew? Please.
If I was a betting man, and I am, I would wager that this story looks at those people who look for monsters to the point of obsession, and that includes those who are hoaxers and why they do it. Somehow Rick Dyer has got involved with Minnow, and I'm sure he didn't need much persuading to be part of the film given his obvious need to be in the spot-light.
The race is one to prove the existence of Bigfoot, with the DNA studies etc'. But Rick Dyer is asking everyone to wait months for his proof? No way. It's a hoax, and he's managed to sucker in people again.
Whilst it's everyone's right to believe what they want, I would just urge people to be extra careful and consider everything relating to this latest Dyer episode. I don't think the Bigfoot community needs to be humiliated again.
Best,
Lee
