Justin Smeja Addresses Dr. Melba Ketchum Concerning Bigfoot Steak Photo
For some odd reason today, Ketchum is now saying that the recent photos are "not real" and that it looks like coyote to her. "Those pics are not real either, it looks like the hair is mounted on something fake (or tanned) and it really looks more like tanned coyote hide. The morphology is wrong for BF hair," Ketchum said.
Being a gentleman and trying his hardest to not lash out at Ketchum for being contradictory, Smeja sent us this email telling us the steak in the photo is part of the same piece of steak that he sent her lab:
Justin Smeja here. The photos that Robert Lindsay posted are indeed photos from the flesh sample recovered from the Sierras that he so generously coined the phrase ''the steak''. It was a part of this same piece of flesh that melba told us all she did extensive testing on. If you look closely you can even see on one side an obvious cut mark. That is where Melba got her piece. If mebla takes the time to look back at the flesh sample she received from me the same sample that she once raved about she will realize it lines up exactly with the shape of that cut, she can even look at the pictures she has. There has always only been one flesh sample that is the one in these pictures.
These sort of responses and behaviors were exactly the kind of thing that prompted going to an outside credible lab.
A day will come when everything we have done will be made public and transparent. Every email every phone call every decision. These other lab(s) test results will be posted from start to finish and available freely. From the test results to the on going saga that was this, everything will be made known. Once you can see what I have seen it will be obvious that any level headed person sitting in my shoes would be doing exactly the same thing I'm doing. I have good counsel and a plan to make the truth known. Thats my only goal.
But Justin, what if that wasn't a piece of Bigfoot you found when you went back up there???
ReplyDeleteBut Anon, why would Ketchum be raving about the sample if it was a known creature? Perhaps she doesn't know what she's doing? The BBB could back that assertion up. So which is it? Is she lying or does she not know what she's doing?
DeletePick one.....
All im saying, is that if this just a big hoax, claiming that the sample is just coyote is a good way to back out and cover your a$$.
DeleteJustin Smeja is the liar.
Deleteno, he is not a liar, their is nothing to gain, and if anything, this cost him money that he didn't have to spend.
DeleteOther labs are testing it and are impressed with what they have. It will be will be known to
all, it right around the corner.
I, the biggest skeptic in the world, even think there is something to this......but what the hell is it?
DeleteI'm glad Smeja is setting the record straight. However, was it really necessary? What I mean is: any rational thinking person can see that Melba is lashing out. If you'll notice, she only lashes out (and does it immediately) when Lindsay posts information that she doesn't want out. That fact that she does that (lashes out) is clear evidence that she is jaded and lying.
ReplyDeleteLying about what? Bottom line is, the test results are all that matter, period. All this lame conjecturing and accusing and speculation are just that: Lame. If it is published by a scientific journal, as stated, said journal has offically declared "These results are verifiable and, ergo, no longer disputable; this creature is real". Arguments about photos won't matter, whether or not anyone believes anyone else won't matter, it will either be published and proven or not and not. If it's published, whether anyone likes it or not, Ketchum gets the credit, Ketchum gets the interviews, Ketchum gets the accolades and everyone else should just be happy that the issue is closed. In the meantime, your opinions and speculations, all of yours, are worthless and you look like frickin retarded Trekkies arguing over whether Picard or Kirk was the better captain. Such dorks, I swear.
DeleteJust because its published in a scientific journal does not mean it's no longer disputable.
DeleteAnon 3:44,
DeleteLying about it NOT being the piece that was giving to her. You do realize that all you have to do is read the title of the topic to figure out what people are discussing, dont you? Are you seriously that dense?
Well since you're a fanboy of a person who runs a Grade: "F" business, and a fanboy of a person who claims the following: to speak to Sasquatch; communes with a family of 5 (while providing no PROOF); preaches protection for the species (but fails to provide the proof science needs for that protection); that Sasquatch made a stick structure (even though she didn't see it happen) and states it as fact; that a Sasquatch braids her horses hair then maybe you are that dense and dumb.
Someone above ketchum needs to work with smeja. I HONESTLY think hes telling the truth. smeja is uneducated on the subject of bigfoot, im sure it fucked with him a little.Im glad he went somewhere else.
DeleteAnother turd in the punch bowl. How the hell do they even have the time to seek the "truth" when all these people do is bark back and forth at each other.
ReplyDeleteYour my favorite turd calm down.
Deletethats true.. she knows lindsay was dead on!
ReplyDeleteOh HOG WASH!!!! Seriously who knows what is and is not true none of us do... All we can do is sit and wait for the viable information to come out. I do not know about you all but I know I am not running around in the woods at night seeking the big guy... So to the people out doing the real leg work god bless you. As always we shall sit and wait for another day... :)
ReplyDeleteWell Lisa the submitter of the sample says Melba is full of crap. Can that be any more clear ?
DeleteRandles even backed this up on the BFF.
Melba's time is over. She's ran the train off the tracks. It's pretty obvious these days with her insane outbursts.
No it's just troll provocation but she's learned to handle it now by not commenting any further.
Deleteconfirms on cone head, dogman and some random cooking recipe
ReplyDelete"to make the truth known. Thats my only goal."
ReplyDeleteNow Smeja is the champion of the moral highground?
Sounds like a case of 'Trust me, I sell used cars!'
Sorry if I seem skeptical but when you have a previous track record of telling different versions of a story, do you wonder why we might not be exactly falling over ourselves to believe you.
Can you expound on those "different versions"?
DeleteStill waiting on the different "versions".........
Deletewhen faced with madness.....Make Chilli
ReplyDeleteIngredients:
2 1/2 lb. lean chuck, ground
1 lb. lean pork, ground
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup finely chopped onion
8 oz. hunt's tomato sauce
1 cup water
1 can beer (12 oz.)
3 Tablespoons chili powder
2 Tablespoons instant beef bouillon (or 6 cubes)
2 Tablespoons cumin, ground
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons oregano leaves
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon coriander, ground
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa
1/2 teaspoon Louisiana hot sauce
1 teaspoon cornmeal
1 teaspoon flour
1 teaspoon warm water
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan brown 1 1/4 pounds of the ground meat (the beef and the pork), drain the fat.
2. Remove meat (the beef and the pork). Brown the rest of the ground meat, drain all but 2 tablespoons of the fat.
3. Add the garlic and onion, cook and stir until tender.
4. Add the other half of the meat and the tomato sauce, water, beer, chili powder, bouillon, cumin, paprika, oregano, sugar, coriander, cocoa, and hot sauce. Mix well.
5. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer, covered , for 2 hours.
6. In a small bowl, stir together the cornmeal and flour, then add the warm water and mix well.
7. Stir into chili and cook, covered, for an additional 20 minutes.
It's to hot for chili today dude.
DeleteI love this blog!
Deleteok then, just for you so you can tantalize your taste buds with HOT and COLD.
DeleteVirginia Phillips
2 1/2 cups light cream, half-and-half or milk (whole or skim), or a combination, divided
1/2 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons cornstarch
Put 2 cups cream, half-and-half or milk, the sugar and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. If using a vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise and scrape seeds into liquid, then add pod. Cook until mixture begins to steam.
In a bowl, blend cornstarch and remaining cream, half-and-half or milk; there should be no lumps. Remove bean pod from pot and discard. Add cornstarch mixture to pot. Cook, stirring until it starts to thicken and barely reaches a boil, about 5 minutes. Immediately reduce heat to very low and stir for 5 minutes or so until thick. Stir in vanilla extract, if using.
If mixture has lumps, strain it into a bowl. Chill until cool, a couple of hours (you can skip this step if you have a machine with a built-in freezer). When cool or if there are no lumps, pour into an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
anon 3:48, printed out your chili recipe, will let you know how it turns out. Thanks. Any good fish taco recipes? I have a lot of fresh swordfish I just caught and want to make tacos.
DeleteI don't see madness in the ingredients anywhere. But this is pretty close to my recipe for chili, it's good. I use deer or elk lately instead of beef.
DeleteYou guys make it all worth while :)
DeleteI don't know, but Justin does make sense of it all when he says that it will all come out "shortly". Either he is full of shit or telling the truth. Inwould think there is a shelf life on this story if there are no results, like the Ketchum tale that is being spun. Either way I'm waiting to find out.
ReplyDeleteBy the way. The Sierra kills = a great story.
That shelf life might have already expired.
DeleteThe truth is.....Shawn, I love you!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's about time.
ReplyDeleteFirst ever bigfoot gay marriage....whoo hoo! I just hope one of you can cook :)
ReplyDeleteYeah I know I'm a c*nt
Good for Justin! I don't think he's looking for high moral ground, just to be done with these idiots. I also don't think he went out hunting that day having any idea that he would be involved in such a train wreck.
ReplyDeleteTo me, Ketchum comes across as shady, pompous & greedy and Justin comes across as a regular redneck hunter.
I'd trust him over her any day.
Thanks Justin for writing Shawn, as we all can't stay away from this story it seems, until it is fully understood.
ReplyDeleteIt is clear it is a really difficult situation playing out over a long time and in not the best format, or forums.
I did notice you stated, "I have good counsel," and to me that is meaningful and encouraging as I guess I imagine the stresses associated with this are high.
I also hope you have a good counselor, on the emotional front and dealing with it, and also moving into your future.
Yes ketchum possibly a little to shady.You need to work on that biatch.You may be a little to self absorbed,but keeping your mouth shut for now is probably your best bet.I aint gave up on you yet,but i am glad smeja is moving on.
ReplyDeletetake up cooking mate as if you believe this BS you may as well be blind at Rorke's Drift.
DeleteIt's BS and all involved are lieing B*stards.
Just think about it for a second....
Good point 5;48 but man at night ihave been fu.ked with 15 miles from any road or homes in upstate georgia and s.c n.c These beings are not hostile ,but they let you know they there.
ReplyDeleteThen tell us your story and f*ck this site...........If I think you're lieing trust me, I'll call you out on it.
ReplyDeleteforget the BFRO etc., let's here it.
You may get ass raped, actually you probably will..but the story will be out, or speak to SWP even though I don't trust the guy fully and see what happens.
Melba is a bully and she has her own agenda. If anyone has any samples please send them to anyone other than her.
ReplyDeleteSmeja's statement tells me that there are some serious problems between the olympic project and Ketchum. Also, anyone that's been following this whole circus and has a lick of sense, would know that Smeja did NOT write this statement.
ReplyDeleteUh, yes he did.
DeleteWell then, perhaps he's repeated the sixth grade since the last time I read something that he had written, sorry, my bad.
DeleteI imagine the counsel he referred to in the post helped, because it was more forceful and pointed than Justin is. He usually reads very trusting.
DeleteShows both are wacked like this whole story, it gets funnier every day, there are no Bigfoots in Georgia, NC or SC yea your f_cked if you do think there are, go west young man and maybe you will get lucky.
ReplyDeleteThe paranormal abilities of eastern Bigfoots are superior to those of western Bigfoots.
DeleteNo do not come out west we have No bigfoots for you to find. Tons of them in your home states like Rhode Island. Salt fork state park has more than any place so stay over there. Besides if you do come out here to be initiated as a new northwest squatcher you must first drink a live banana slug and tequila shooter. Ask Bobo he knows all about it.
DeleteJustin took and passed a polygraph test. I have not seen the results but he says he is willing to take another. I think 2 years ago Justin was a average early 20's hunting enthusiast whos life was centered around building rifles and hunting with his buddies (and spending time with his family). Whos life took a drastic turn with one questionable decision. All we know is what he has told us, I would bet all the gold in the world there is more to the story. I will not get into wild speculation, however, guns and any ammount of alcohol is instant trouble in the eyes of the law. You can work around poaching and get away with it, but if you smell like alcohol and a warden pulls up its not gunna go well. Justins buddy, the driver has served in the military and im sure in no way could afford to get caught "legally drunk" with guns, and the dead body of something that looks like one of those furry Mexican brothers who pop up on trash mags and talk shows.
ReplyDeleteI feel hortible for Justin, I am sure its hard to fall asleep sober, especially if he has a daughter himself. I could see it in his eyes during the interview with Ro. Mr. Smeja, hang in there brother, you are doing the right thing and I for one appreciate you sharring all of this with us even if you never intended to. Stay strong, you will be vindicated my friend.
As for Melba, she is a silly selfish woman. Somehow she seems to think she will be put on a pedistal like Jane Goodall if she can be the one to scientifically prove that they exist. Mr lindsay just keeps handing her the nails and she keeps sealing up her own coffin. Good stuff Robert, I know you love doing it.
This is better than reality tv.
-Money
She just wants us men to swoon over her thats all.
DeleteAnon @ 7:30 I completely agree with you. Thanks Justin Smeja. Much love dude. Much love.
DeleteBuilding rifles? On a recent podcast he stated he knew little to nothing about firearms and said his brother is the one that does all his loading etc.
DeleteBetcha Bart C is counseling smeja to go independent. Makes sense if you guys have been following this closely as cutino has made it clear on blogtalk shows he doesnt trust ketchum. If so, im excited to get some truth in all this as things may have taken a turn for the better if this incident is true. Ketchum is a joke!
ReplyDeleteKetchum was the hero we got. Smeja is the one we deserve.
ReplyDeleteSmeja is doing what is necessary. Standing between Ketchum and the good people of Gothum.
Smeja is our dark knight !
So what are you going to do next arrive at the theater as the riddler???
DeleteIn Bart's defense though, I know this is all BS I always thought this guy was 100% legit and still do however.
DeleteIf he walks away from this badly, not that he'll give a sh*t (he has a good life to walk into) but I will feel sorry for him.
Justin .. thanks for posting that and for setting the record straight . I can only imagine what you have had to endure , dealing with MK, bad publicity , people calling BS , and on and on . A million thanks to you for coming on here and telling us what you know . We all want to know the truth probably about as much as you would like to tell it . I can only believe that in time , it will all come out
ReplyDeleteBest thing that could have happened was Randles booting Smeja out. Now we finally have a voice of reason unrestricted by NDAs and misguided trust in Ketchum. Finally the tide is turning and Ketchum better start inflating her life raft.
ReplyDeletePlus 10. Spot on
DeleteWho is Ketchum?
ReplyDeleteI still think this fur looks too thick, but if it is truly from Mr Smeja's bigfoot, he would know. I do believe there has been a large break between the people in this whole study. I think Mr Lindsay's inside source is Smeja. Especially with him confirming the photos are real. I also think since there have been so many delays, that any NDA between the parties will be invalid by now. If the primary person to get the report published failed to do so in a reasonable amount of time, it could invalidate the NDAs. There by freeing everyone to talk. If I was Smeja, I would take Derek Randles, myself and my lawyer to the closest tv station with whatever parts or body I have. Get the ball rolling first, then let the scientists fight it out to see if they are humans or not.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they should just "ketch um". Just saying. Heinz is my fave though.
ReplyDeleteHi Justin, why are you sitting in your shoes? Try a chair..more comfortable
ReplyDeleteThe fur looks synthetic. And if it was real, is it the same fur that was sitting in the wilderness for 2 entire weeks?
ReplyDeleteRally tho?
End game revealed - "A day will come when everything we have done will be made public and transparent. Every email every phone call every decision. These other lab(s) test results will be posted from start to finish and available freely [if you buy the book, subscribe to the website or watch the show]. From the test results to the on going saga that was this, everything will be made known. Once you can see what I have seen it will be obvious"
ReplyDeleteBart = carrying water for Matt to some mildly profitable end and trying to right the near miss of the BFRO being Justin's handler/agent.
Prediction - might be the grand wrap-up for a Finding Bigfoot season.
Couldn't a simple cursory chromosome count be performed to screen out most indigenous animals.
ReplyDeleteMost North American mammals have 60 plus chromosomes (coyote 78,bison 60,elk 68,fox 66) humans and chimps have 46 and 48 respectively. If a simple chromosome count comes up as 46 or 48 then it is not one of the common animals above.
The Sierra Kills. Great Story. Compelling and rich.
ReplyDeleteCalling it a steak is about the dumbest way to describe it I can think of.
ReplyDeleteIt's a tissue sample. Steaks come from cows.
@anony 4:26, Dont know if bart cutino is helping out with this or not though he's been very vocal about taking high road (away from melba) for sometime. If you've followed bfoot history last 10 years or so you'd know That moneymaker and bart are close but bart is undoubtedly his own man through his comments and actions. All ive seen him say are in regards getting evidence analyzed in this sierra situation. I hope he is involved personally so i can feel like ill get some honest answers here eventually. The one criticism i have is he seems to have become close to Smeja in last year but i think he'll be objective until he proves otherwise. Look forward to seeing if there any forensic evidence in the infamous boots.
ReplyDeleteSmeja must be a likeable guy everyone's "friends with smeja" bart derek shawn ro bobo rob fearless Mike green jc Johnson and so on
ReplyDeleteJustin is all right. I like him a lot. He's a better person than 90% of the clowns in this Bigfoot game. And he's not greedy at all either.
DeleteHis character's rotten how can any sensible person like him, honest maybe but despicable ethics/moral.
Deletebart is an honest guy and i think so is smeja. smeja can only say so much at this point. this ketchump woman seems odd though. just do the test and get with the program. all this secretive shat is what makes the bigfoot world a joke.
ReplyDeleteI agree and think Cutino's behind this to some extent. He's clearly trying to disassociate with ketchum from blogtalk interviews and doesn't make promises on anything until it's resolved.
ReplyDeleteWhat puzzles me is Smeja not standing behind Ketchum (obvious) and she's basically confirmed flesh is from a bigfoot? That doesn't sit well and makes me think Smeja may be more credible then he gets credit for.
Okay what if it is not a known specie then what? We still would not know for sure if its a Bigfoot or not it could be a anouther creature that has eluded man just like Bigfoot. I would love to see someone find Bigfoot.
ReplyDeleteWell, if someone got to your steak or Bigfoots before you and they were going to make money off of the Bigfoot steak or body, didn't you say Justin that you would hope they would share the money they make with you? If it isn't about the Benjamins? So, who is going to pay for all these labs and testing? That can't be cheap.

Possible explanation for anomalous Ketchum and Smeja/Cutino results for the Bigfoot steak from the Sierra Kills. The results indicate that the submissions were from two different objects, not a single object. Cutino/Smeja’s results ended up with MtDNA haplotypes A and T2, and Ketchum’s MtDNA results indicate haplotype H1A for Sample 26 (the Sierra Kills Bigfoot steak). Apparently these were two completely different objects being tested. I have no explanation for the anomalous results or why there were two objects when there was said to be only two pieces of a single object.
