Not a bigfoot |
KALISPELL- A man wearing a Sasquatch suit died after being struck by
two cars Sunday evening on U.S. Highway 93 south of Kalispell.
The Flathead County Coroner has identified the victim as Randy Lee Tenley, 44, of Kalispell.
Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Jim Schneider says friends of the
victim said Tenley was wearing a military-style camouflage ghillie suit
in hopes of creating a Bigfoot hoax.
Schneider said Tenley was first hit by a 15-year-old Somers girl
driving in the right southbound lane who said she couldn't get out of
the way. Tenley was then struck by again by another Somers teen's car as
his body lay on the road.
"It's still a crash involving vehicles and a pedestrian. So we're
still doing the same investigation, but once we started speaking to
parties, then someone involved in it, trying to ascertain exactly what
brought that gentleman out to Highway 93 ... I would not guess that
would motivate anybody to be out on Highway 93," Scheider said.
Schneider said police are waiting to get toxicology reports to see if Tenley had been drinking.

TCC - Things like this are only another reason we need anti-hoaxing laws. We have all these groups trying to protect sasquatch and that is fine but all these hoaxes have got to stop. Balloon boy,runaway bride, and other hoaxed events should be against the law, I'm not talking about playing a small prank, I mean these hoaxes that get the media involved and cost cities large amounts of time and money, all wasted on fake events. It is my opinion that faked/hoaxed events like some of the ones I listed should carry a heavy fine and some jail time. Others of a less grand nature should carry possible money fines.
I can seen events like the one in this news story happening more often and I'm kind of surprised that one of these bigfoot hoaxers hasn't been shot already. I guess it's only a matter of time.
People please think some of this stuff out, it can be dangerous and cost you your life.
Thanks
