This is yet another historical post concerning Peter Byrne, Bigfoot and the FBI. For those who may not know, Peter Byrne is a long time bigfoot researcher who was born in Ireland. He served in the Royal Air Force during World War II, and went to Northern India to work on a tea plantation. Peter discovered his first yeti footprint in Nepal in 1948. In 1957 Byrne embarked on a three year expedition to hunt and track down the yeti; the expedition was funded by Texas oilman Tom Slick. In 1968 Byrne co-founded the International Wildlife Conservation Society, Inc. and serves as the executive director to this very day. He is often described as controversial, colorful, and passionately dedicated to the Bigfoot and Yeti search.

Mr. Byran as of 2019 and at 93 years old, is still in the hunt for Bigfoot. But what some may not know about is his interaction with the FBI.
