I remember now! The alien was in the freezer - the bigfoot was shot and buried by a man who was afraid he might be accused of murder and wouldn’t identify himself or his location.
The shot-and-buried story was a little more believable ;-)
I love Bigfoot stories. Having heard enough from otherwise reliable people I think they might be. (The panda bear was considered a mythical mountain person until “science” discovered it in the 1800’s iirc).
I think all of the old Coast-to-Coast episodes are on youtube. I’ll try to find that.
There is at least one, perhaps several counties in the State of Washington that have laws on the books that make killing a Bigfoot illegal. I’m guessing mostly as a novelty for the tourists?
I had a Fish & Wildlife guy that would work with me part-time. One time he went down to southern Washington with some wildlife biologist with the University to check on some hair samples on a fence. The lady said a bigfoot went across her farm field and stepped over the barbed-wire fence and there was hair on the fence.
So these two guys drove 2.5 hours one way to get a hair sample and then run some tests on it. Of course my guy never knew anything more about how the tests came out. Seems like a lot of effort to satisfy some lady that is seeing things. Or - perhaps it was a bear on it’s hind legs, or my guy just didn’t want to show up to work that day and gave me a wild excuse!
