DuPont MonsterHey JavaBob , as you know, prior to this stop, the team was in KENTUCKY LBL .. I will give you more about that story when we get back from the field... But for now, here is a quick note about the DuPont MonsterWe are all doing well and traveling across country to investigate some of the recent sighting that have been reported to Searching for Bigfoot Inc. We don’t get to areas were we get access to email very often, but as I promised, when we do, I would send you some notes to share on our web site. Here is the first one. It is from our second stop after the NAPE Boot Camp in Paris Texas. (The Boot Camp was a totally awesome experience and we will write more about that later too.) Leaving Kentucky, we made a 1000+ mile trek to Illinois, to investigate the ‘DuPont Monster ’ which is deeply steeped in the local folklore. There have been reported sightings in this area for over 70 years. Our first step was to interview our local connection. We all found him to be very credible, so it was time to do a field investigation. Our first day out there we came upon some footprints along the banks of a stream that dumped into the Ill River. Although they were smaller than we are used to, it was interesting because the location was full of cut corn stalk and briars; there is no way anyone in their right mind would walk around here barefoot. The stream was shallow, no fish and could not support a boat or canoe of any kind, it was even too shallow for a swim. Not to mention, it was certainly not swimming weather out there, with lows around 30 and highs of only around 60.
The area is heavily populated with very large deer. We had seen more than 25 in just one night. While out on patrol me (Jim Snell), and Brian Mazolla encountered a situation. There were deer moving through the bushes, we could see them on the thermal imager, at this time we heard a very loud series of grunts and bass toned snorts, it was a sound I had never experienced, and it was hair raising! At that time, it was only a few feet from us! The grunts were so powerful you could actually feel them in your chest! We scanned the area with the thermal imager and saw a tall body along side of a tree, for a second we thought it might be the monster stalking one of the deer! We held our ground and kept watching in hope of getting a clearer view! After what seemed to be a life time, it eventually stepped out from behind the tree! We were finally able to get a clear view on the thermal imager and we could clearly see the creature that had caused our adrenaline to flow! To our great surprise, we realized it was a huge buck deer! I had never heard this type of noise from a deer before, but if we were just out there without the benefit of our hi-tech surveillance gear our imaginations would probably have got the better of us. I can imagine this probably happens fairly often, but based on the other data we gathered and the credible testimony of the person who reported the sightings, I think this case deserves another look. I can’t wait to go back during the time periods when the creature we are searching for is reported to be extremely active in this area. Perhaps we can gain access to some of the private property here, especially the nearby area that reportedly has a lot of caves being born. This just might be where a large omnivore would hunt. It would be likely the creatures we are searching for would be close by. We will continue to send you updates as we can. We are on our way to ‘Land between the Lakes’ to investigate more recent sightings. We will try to keep you all updated as we go. Jim…

LATEST UPDATE ON THIS STORY; The team had a chance to closely examine the casts of the foot prints they found. They could not find any signs of a mid tarsal break. This indicates that the prints are most likely human prints. We would like to have more positive findings to share, but we can only share what we find, as we find it, when we find it, and how we find it! Just one more reason why we keep on SEARCHING FOR BIGFOOT! THE MORRIS HERALD NEWSPublished the following article about our visit; This article can be seen on their web at; http://www.morrisdailyherald.com/articles/2007/11/05/news/694asenmars.txt Searching for Bigfoot Researchers look for evidence of DuPont Monster By Heidi Terry-Litchfield Herald CorrespondentMonday, November 5, 2007 2:20 PM CST He was in the area hunting snakes as part of a field guide activity, something this Marseilles resident has done across the United States, when he saw a large creature heading up a hill in the woods by the road. The snake hunter, who wishes to remain anonymous, described the creature as tall - over 7 feet tall - with hair on it. When he first saw it, he thought it might be a national guardsman in a gully suit, but after he yelled, “Hey,” the creature looked toward him and the snake hunter saw the profile of the creature's eye and cheek and knew this was no human.
It was this eyewitness report that led a group of Bigfoot hunters from California to the Morris area to see if they could find any proof of the creature.

Tommy Biscardi Jr., the director of field security for the live capture team from Searching for Bigfoot Inc., said they receive tips from all over the United States reporting Bigfoot sightings, but they don't rush out to every one of them. “We do a thorough background check on the area and situation to see if we can substantiate any of what is reported,” said Biscardi. “If we feel the information makes sense, we will send a team to check out the area.” Biscardi wasn't always a believer in Bigfoot, so he understands when people feel skeptical about what his team does. “My father hunted Bigfoot for 30 years, and I never believed him until I had an encounter while out spending a day with him in Texas,” Biscardi said. The field team is made up of individuals who all bring something to the field in the way of tracking and searching for Bigfoot. Biscardi was an Army Ranger; Jim Snell has been with the team for one year, coming from a background as a paranormal investigator; Steve Kulls has been with the team for a 1 1/2 year since leaving his profession as a private investigator; and cameraman Brian Mazzola was hired on to film the hunt in a sequel to the group's first documentary, “Bigfoot Lives.” The no-kill team uses devices to aid its search, including night-vision glasses, thermal imaging, cattle prods, binoculars, and wireless cameras. “I've traveled 25,000 miles with this team and I want to see the documentary to its end,” said Mazzola. “But I will admit I'm still a bit skeptical. If anyone is going to find a Bigfoot, they will.” Biscardi and his team had spent several nights in the area of the reported sightings, as well as doing recon missions during the day. They said they have found foot prints along the water that they can't explain as being human. “It's cold, there is cut corn stalks and thick brush, and bare foot prints that can't be explained,” said Biscardi. “While I haven't seen this one, I can say for sure there is something here.” Biscardi said the state of Illinois has a rich history with Bigfoot stories and that the Seneca area was not the first place they've examined. They went to Funk's Grove in 2006 on another resident tip. He said the creature has hair that can be several different colors. It walks upright. It is nocturnal, doing it's moving and hunting at night, and, he believes, it wants nothing to do with humans. Biscardi also believes that the creature lives on several different continents and is called several different names, including Sasquatch, Yeti and Almas, as well as many names given to such a creature by the different Native American tribes. “Many places have stories of a large half-human, half-animal type creature,” said Biscardi. “We don't think it is only in North America.” The team was scheduled to leave the area over the weekend, having searched all of the area it was given permission to search. It is hoping companies and land owners in the old DuPont?Create area will give permission for the team to return and search their land. “Without being able to go into all the areas, it's hard to do a thorough investigation,” said Biscardi. “We hope that property owners in that area will invite us back; we'd love to come. The people we've met have been very nice to us.” For further information on the team, its findings, or photographs of the footprints found near Seneca, visit http://www.searchingforbigfoot.com
