If you believe that these creatures are nothing more than a wild animal, then yes they may act like a starving wild animal.  Based on thousands of reports and the oral traditions of the first nations, I tend to think of them as "people". Maybe more dangerous when they get hungry since they can take out a human quietly and quickly. As far as the OPs questions, yes, humans go missing in the forest, sometimes more often in certain forests.  I do not believe that every missing person in the forest is related to sasquatch. Maybe 30%  Is it possible?  Sure.  Can I backup my theory?  Nope, not even gonna try. come on................write a paragraph?

Sasquatch are smart beings. Presumably, they understand that people going missing causes a response in terms of search and rescue and more humans. I assume eating a human happens as a last option, if at all. Have we found any/many human remains that would indicate predation by a Sasquatch?

The Starving Bigfoot? 
 

I can’t think of a scenario where Bigfoot would be in a position where its normal food supply was absent.   Then if so, that same Bigfoot would need to come upon a human, have cause to kill it, and then eat it.   Sure I can see a Bigfoot or about any animal attacking in certain situations. ( protecting their young,, during mating season if one exists).   Apart from that, I cant see Bigfoot taking that extra leap and eating a person.   
 

Starving  people and animals will eventually try to eat anything.   But that would require Bigfoot being so devoid of other food sources, so limited on mobility, and a human coming right in to their radius.  That’s a lot of IFs happening to a near extinct animal.     
 

Are there common cases of known primates eating people?    Attacking people for various motivations, yes.   But eating them?   
 

if someone is lost in the woods and is killed or eaten it would be done by the more common animals in the woods.  If there was Bigfoot out there Bigfoot would more likely eat what’s available including many other insects or squirrels or berries or whatever.  If injury made this impossible it would be too injured to chase down and kill a person.  
 

Even if I was killed for stumbling across Bigfoot in the woods, Bigfoot would leave me there dead.  Within days other animals would work on the body and Bigfoot would be miles away moving on to Bigfoot things.  Sure I was killed in the woods by something.  But I was not eaten by Bigfoot.   .

There are gruesome reports of chimpanzees abducting and consuming human children in various parts of Africa. I chose to not include links, due to their grisly nature, but they're readily available.

Modern Homo sapien cannibalism is a well studied phenomenon, even if those studies are often ignored and played down because it's such a taboo topic. And example would be cannibalism among Japanese soldiers in the Pacific Theater of WWII. The point here is that in modern cases of cannibalism, many feature spiritual motivations where the eater is trying to consume the spirit or power of the meal. The modern cases involving starvation tend to be situations like the one in your posted photo of the crashed airplane in South America or shipwrecked people floating for weeks at sea. We don't see communities doing this because we now have communications and social assistance programs, but that really has a relatively short, weak history. Even Alaska, a U.S. state for the past 65 years, has a history within living memory of community starvation and disease.

 

While I believe sasquatches are a human species, I have a difficult time accepting that they've become spiritual or religious. Homo sapien bodies are meat. But I do believe that they understand that killing people bring more people looking for the missing. This is likely because it's a long pattern with indigenous men. I don't think sasquatches hunt men for that very reason.
