The man who claims he killed bigfoot in San Antonio has finally admitted he's been fooling everyone with a fake body.
Rick Dyer's admission of the hoax came through a Facebook post over the weekend.
In the post Dyer said, "From this moment on I will speak the truth! No more lies, tall tales or wild goose chases to mess with the haters! The people on my tour knew everything from day one, they just didn't expect me to ever come clean."
Dyer's admission went on to say, "Everyone that went on my tour had less than $100 in the bank with nothing going for them. Some didn't even own a car. I made their life better. I never treated anyone bad. I'm a joker. I play around that's just me."
Dyer's former promoter for the tour sent KSAT 12 News his own statement via email Monday.
Andrew Clacy said he was hired by Dyer to build and manage websites and arrange and coordinate media coverage of the tour.
Initially Clacy said he was "of the view that (the body) was real and I was excited to be part of what I considered to be a history making event."
As the tour progressed, Clacy said he became more skeptical.
"I confronted Mr. Dyer (in Daytona) on my suspicions who admitted to me personally that the body of 'Hank' was not a real body but rather a construct of a company from Washington State which was paid for by Rick Dyer. Once I became the truth I could no longer continue in my role with Rick Dyer on moral and ethical grounds and made the decision to immediately return home to Australia to continue my business."
Despite admitting the body he took on tour was a fake, Dyer still maintains he shot and killed a bigfoot in San Antonio in 2012.
"We will continue with the second leg of the tour that is already booked. The side show will continue to inform people about Bigfoot," Dyer wrote. "I can't and won't give you a date of anything to do with the real body because I don't know."
While it is unknown if Dyer will face any charges for his bigfoot body tour, an online petition is being circulated by change.org asking the Justice Department to file fraud charges
