According to the New York Times: California: Bigfoot Remains a Myth
Results from tests on genetic material from alleged remains of Bigfoot, made public at a news conference in Palo Alto held after the claimed discovery swept the Internet, failed to prove the existence of the mythical half-ape and half-human creature. The story was fueled by a photograph of a hairy heap, bearing a close resemblance to a shaggy full-body gorilla costume, stuffed into a container resembling a refrigerator. One of the two samples of DNA said to prove the existence of the Bigfoot came from a human and the other was 96 percent from an opossum, said Curt Nelson, a scientist at the University of Minnesota who performed the analysis.

In a related interview with The Associated Press, Corsi defended raising the existence of Bigfoot without any evidence. “I don’t need more,” he said. “I’m putting this question forward. I’m putting the evidence forward. Voters can make up their own minds.”
