We Are Watching The Bigfoot Files: Episode 2 (Update #5: Boots Had No Viable DNA)

The Bigfoot Files Episode 2 is currently airing in the U.K. We are waiting for the results from Dr. Bryan Sykes regarding the sample taken from Justin Smeja's boots. After allegedly shooting a juvenile Bigfoot in the Sierras, Smeja sent his boots to Sykes testing -- Smeja, a bear hunter, had been hunting with the boots for several weeks after the shooting.

[Update] Yep. Bear. DNA Results from boots came out as "no viable DNA". The hair sample, came out as black bear.

[Update #2] Here's a statement from Nadia Moore, who was at the filming of the episode: "The host outright lied TWO TIMES when he claimed Justin claimed the hair sample found 3 weeks after the shooting incident was from either of the Bigfoot he shot, let alone the juvenile. He has never claimed it was from the baby and has only said it was found in the general vicinity of where he shot the ADULT, three weeks later and under the snow where it was sniffed out by his dog. I was there during the filming of this episode and during the interview later between Sykes and Justin, and he never claimed any such thing about the hair sample, it is only the boots that he claimed had the blood of the young one on them. And I want to make it clear that what Sykes told us was that whatever was on the boots was too degraded to give viable DNA or to even show up as blood by Spectrophotometry. He did not say there was nothing on the boots to begin with.

[Update #3] Moore adds: "He wore those boots for about a year after the shooting incident before he turned them over to Bart Cutino for analysis, so what could have been good evidence at the time, was made nonviable after a years time and wear."

[Update #4] Oops. Made a mistake. Justin's boots had no viable DNA. The hair sample results came out as black bear.

[Update #5] Justin Smeja's entire story will be made available through a documentary at DeadBigfoot.com.
