- Iceman color slides taken
and still detained by Bernard Heuvelmans are far more
impressive, convincing and conclusive, than the
Patterson-Gimlin film, according to the happy few who saw
them...
- Hansen's behaviour seems
inconsistent and odd. For instance, he has refused a
1000.000 dollars offer for Iceman, although the cadaver
authenticity was not required. In fact, he was,
rightly, appaled by the threaten of a criminal
prosecution. He needed a warrant against such prosecution
to let Science study the corpse. Needless to suppose (as
Heuvelmans does) a dishonest activity linked to Iceman to
explain Hansen's fear.
- Hansen once ordered a very
expensive copy of the cadaver in California. The purpose
was to show it instead of the real corpse, to mislead
eventual police inquiries. But it was not at all
convincing, and he decided to exhibit the real one.
- Hansen often refers to a
mysterious "owner". By me, this person is probably a
lawyer.
- According to some sources,
Hansen is no more in possession of the corpse, that would
be presently somewhere in California.
- Since the publication in
Bigfoot Co-op, I have discovered several cases of animal
mutilations that are obviously bigfoot-linked. A very
well documented case, implying a calf, studied and
photographed by Mary Green, occured in February of 1998
in Tennessee (see GCBRO website). Another
interesting instance is related by Robert Hutchison, and
implied a yeti (exactly, a chuti, the great variety) and
a nack (female yack), in July of 1974, in Mt Everest area
(Nepal). See Robert Hutchison, In the tracks of the
Yeti, McDonald &
co, London, 1989.
- There is a little difference
between Hansen's description of extracted guts and
Moneymaker's (and others') one. Only in Hansen's report
guts are scatterred. Elsewhere, they are piled. Possible
explanation : the "things" had just had a quarrel or
a lot fun.
- "Only the liver" is not always
exact. For example, according to both Moneymaker's
and Hutchison's data, the long bones marrow is consumed
too. Moneymaker's convincing explanations about liver are
also relevant for marrow.
- The "mutilation" is not the
only element that seemed unlikely at the time, and has
been described by other witnesses. Iceman's attacking
(threatening ?) posture, with both hands above the
head, was claimed in two cases at my knowledge. One in
Pennsylvania in 1974 (see Western Bigfoot Society
website). One in New Jersey in 1979 (see
http://www.moneymaker.org/BFRR/GDB/CNTS/NJ/nj_sxOO1.htm).
In both cases, as in Iceman story, witnesses told they have fired to defend
themselves.
