three people claiming the dead body of a Bigfoot has been found in
Georgia.
Officer Matt Whitton plans a news conference Friday with

Whitton is on medical leave from the Clayton Police Department,
where he has been employed for six years. He tells the Clayton News
Daily that people who call the creature a hoax are just jealous.
