From the San Francisco Chronicle: 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 (http://bit.ly/PWJvA5)
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."
