Man trying to create bigfoot sighting killed in Montana
KALISPELL, Mont. – A man dressed in a military-style “ghillie” suit and apparently trying to provoke reports of a Bigfoot sighting in northwest Montana was struck by two cars and killed, authorities said.
The man was standing in the right-hand lane of U.S. Highway 93 south of Kalispell on Sunday night when he was hit by the first car, according to the Montana Highway Patrol. A second car hit the man as he lay in the roadway, authorities said.
Flathead County officials identified the man as Randy Lee Tenley, 44, of Kalispell. Trooper Jim Schneider said motives were ascertained during interviews with friends, and alcohol may have been a factor but investigators were awaiting tests.
“He was trying to make people think he was Sasquatch so people would call in a Sasquatch sighting,” Schneider told the Daily Inter Lake on Monday. “You can’t make it up. I haven’t seen or heard of anything like this before. Obviously, his suit made it difficult for people to see him.”
[SNIP] The poor man. We already know who BIGFOOT really is

As usual, alcohol was involved. And what the hell is a 15 y/o doing driving at night? Do they do that in Robert Redford country?

Someone should have told this dude that the body-double auditions for the FLOTUS at the democrap convention weren’t until next week.

Alcohol is definitely a factor in coping with The Bigfoot Moose.

Obviously he didn’t get the memo that the contest changed to get folks to call the coroner.
Shame, he won but there’s no way to tell him.

The guy got what he asked for but that poor 15 year old girl is going to be traumatized for life because of this mush-brain’s “hold my beer and watch this” moment.

Culling the herd, one by one. I suppose he could have been trying to attract a brown bear…

“Flathead County officials identified the man as Randy Lee Tenley, 44″

I heard that his next project was to sneak up on a Grizzly Bear and goose it.

Talk about potential for a good “Messing with Saquatch” commercial.
Or I imagine her saying “shit I bag this thing with my car I’ll be an instant millionaire” for producing a squatch body.
I would’ve hit it.

Wonder if this will be on the next episode of Finding Bigfoot?
This is kinda like the homosexuals making up assaults. If it ain’t true, make it up…….

Wouldn’t it be ironic if the guy’s name was Darwin?
