Man apparently attempting Bigfoot hoax killed on Montana highway

Quote:

A man wearing a bushy, military-style camouflage suit in an apparent attempt to impersonate the mythical creature Bigfoot has died after being struck on a Montana highway by two cars, police said on Tuesday.

Randy Lee Tenley, 44, was dressed in a "ghillie" -- an outfit favored by military snipers and game hunters -- and standing in the middle of southbound lanes on U.S. Highway 93 near Kalispell on Sunday when he was struck twice in quick succession, Montana Highway Patrol spokesman Sergeant Steve Lavin said.

"From what I understand, at least one of his friends said that he was trying to induce a sasquatch sighting by using the suit along the highway," Lavin said. "This is a first for me after 20 years on the highway patrol. It's strange."

Tenley was first hit by a car driven by a 15-year-old girl (15-year-olds are allowed to drive in Montana with a learner's permit). A second car driven by a 17-year-old girl struck him moments later when he was already down on the roadway, Lavin said. Police said they do not know which impact killed him.

Friends of Tenley told Montana Highway Patrol trooper Jim Schneider that the man had attempted a similar hoax before, but never along the highway, police said.

Bigfoot, or sasquatch, is the name given to an ape-like creature whose existence has never been proven. Still, some people believe the creature lives in forest areas in North America, particularly the Pacific Northwest.

The Kalispell Army-Navy supply store sells the same kind of ghillie suit that police say Tenley was wearing.

Manager Dennis Petersen, who did not recall selling one to Tenley, said the shaggy $100 suits are often bought by boys who use them in paintball games. "I don't usually sell them to well-grown adults," he said.

Lol.... Watta fuckin twat, who the hell would impersonate bigfoot along and highways? Think its funny how they mention its 2 females who hit him :lol

I think bigfoot is blurry. That's the problem. It's not the photographers fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me because there's a large out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

Darwinism at its best.

A 15 & 17 year old killed big foot!

I thought the wedding dress drowning girl deserved a Darwin Award. She might have some competition.

lol.... Young female drivers :fuckthatshit:
All that's left for the icing on top is if they are Asian.

Regardless of race or gender, it would not be an unreasonable act if ANYBODY ends up hitting this idiot on the highway...

You're ON AN AMERICAN highway...they're HUGE, they're BUSY and you're standing in a suit that is coloured and designed to camouflage with its surroundings.

Imagine the affect this will have on these girls as far as trama goes. Young, new drivers end up killing a man on the highway...

when I first head "Man in Bigfoot costume killed on Montana highway" I thought someone probably gunned him down. :lawl: America
