I remember an episode of Unsolved Mysteries where a sweet old woman took in a bunch of unwanted dogs so they wouldn't be put down, then some asshole started terrorizing her for no reason. Lots of threats and property damage at first, but it got really messed up when he broke into the barn where she kept the dogs and shot some of them. That on its own would be messed up beyond belief, but it got worse when whoever was tormenting her burned down the barn with like 60 dogs inside killing all but one.
The murder of Kelly Anne Bates stands out to me when I think of truly horrific ways to die. Bates was drowned in 1997 by her boyfriend, James Patterson Smith. They started a relationship when Bates was just fourteen and Smith had a history of violence against his previous partners. It's tragic that Bates did leave Smith at one point but returned to living with him the year before her death. He tortured her over a period of several weeks beforehand, just some of the things he did to her include: gouging out her eyes up to three weeks before death partial scalping genital mutilation stab wounds inside her mouth & eye sockets During his questioning Smith claimed Bates "would put me through hell winding me up" which is just as disturbing to me. I can't imagine how much suffering Bates went through in her short seventeen year life.
This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from...
Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.
Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.
