This episode is the audio of Pt. 2 of the video linked discussed what to do with the the impressions recovered on your vehicle. What we didn't discuss is what that evidence means, and what it can mean. We also need to further the investigation after the collection of of your dermal evidence. Join me and find out what those first steps should be after the recovery of your evidence.

This episode briefly covers the of value collecting hair in a bigfoot investigation and what information it can provide within the DNA arena. Explaining the difference between Nuclear DNA and Mitochondrial DNA is also briefly covered. This episode also talks about whether you need the whole hair with follicle, bulb, root, etc... for DNA or can just the shaft of the hair be used. And of course, Tim calls in and gives his two cents.

This episode briefly covers the basic aspects of documenting the scene (mapping, photography, etc...). It also covers the various ways to collect trace and DNA evidence correctly. I have compiled a nice list of websites and links with how to's and places to get the proper supplies. Also attached are two cool articles on casting in the sand and one in the snow. A cool poster is also included for viewing, not mine, but still cool. Just go to BigfootForensics.com and go to the episode docs tab. After this episode, the 3rd of the basics needed to be covered, we will begin to jump around and have fun with different topics. Stay tuned for the next episode where we will listen to scary and strange sounds one would hear in the woods at night.

"I seen this armadilla tied to a tree..." - Tim. Tim tells me about his experience in the woods with his grammy. Then we take a look at some basic eyewitness testimony information and very basic interview strategy. Give the second episode a shot.

Bigfoot tree knocks are often described as that typical baseball hitting the baseball bat sound. That clear crisp "Thwack!". Listen to my first possible first recording of that sound. Then follow me into the investigation of what it could be. I still don't have the answer. However, I did discover another variable when recording sounds remotely that I previously had no idea about. I'm hoping the Bigfoot Researchers (BFR) do and it's just a known thing. You tell me. I am by no means suggesting that Bigfoot knocks are all owls. Just discussing another variable that should be considered when analyzing recordings. This could also affect the researcher who gets caught up in the moment and lets confirmation bias invade their investigation. Just food for thought and offering some information for consideration.
