The last few days, since the turn of events in the Musky Allen – Rick Dyer saga over yet again another claim of a dead Bigfoot has taken a series of turns which make things appear, that life is truly stranger than fiction.
(Left) Issleb, with (Right) Dyer.
Musky Allen who’ve we determined to be Allen Issleb of Wisconsin, issued a statement, making allegations of attempting to get Dr. Jeff Meldrum involved. (The Facebook posts are courtesy of Researcher Brad Vincent…excellent job!!!)
As it turns out this appears much like comments from the body propagator, and it is completely false. You see folks I know, Dr. Meldrum’s appearance stipend and it is not so grandiose as claimed. Matter of fact it isn’t even close.
A “partial embalming".” Can someone please explain that to me?
The circulatory system is a complete system, please explain how you only let some of the blood out and put part of the formaldehyde in? How does that work?
Something stinks and it isn’t a Sasquatch body!
There was also a comment made by Issleb that he flew home to Chicago. Again our sources, and by his own admission, he resides in Wisconsin.
Dr. Meldrum and I at the East Coast Bigfoot Conference in late 2011.
Dr. Meldrum elaborates…
Now… lets take a look at another Pro-Bigfoot group that has come forth over the last couple of years; Facebook FindBigfoot. The Facebook group run by Jack D. Barnes. Guess what? That’s not his real name either. It’s a pseudonym.
In September, they were propagating the Stacy Brown footage, much to the dismay of Stacy, as he had asked to keep it under wraps.
The release of the footage they stated they had promised us was in actuality the Dyer Tent video, as you can read my previous blog entry here.
The fact of FB/FB’s strange behavior around these events are leading me to suspect what some in the community are already saying, that they too may be involved.
I may suspect it, but the evidence isn’t quite in yet on that one, and maybe just in their amateurish nature, they have committed to a course, and their ego’s demand they stay upon it.
Now in similar fashion, as we’ve seen with other hoaxers, including Dyer himself, FB/FB has made a statement that many are construing as if Dyer does not have a body, FB/FB will shut down.
But that is NOT what was said, what was said was…

What they said if there is no further evidence. Not evidence to support Dyer’s claims. It’s a little vague if you ask me, and as we have seen in the past with folks like Linda Newton-Perry and her promise to shut down her site, Bigfoot Ballyhoo, don’t expect it to happen.
I’d like them to follow through in their promise, however I don’t expect it, and there would be a litany of excuses as to why the promise was not made good on.
Also there is a big contradiction in the testimony of Dyer and the testimony of Issleb on what was seen versus what had occurred. The whole shooting doesn’t appear to add up to me and sounds a bit far fetched.
For example, Dyer claims after he shot the creature in the back, it runs and he gives chase. A camera man gets in front of the creature and he shoots it in the back of the head, and the exit wound exits via the mouth.
Well isn’t that kind of stupid taking a direct shot of something with a camera man caught in the crossfire?
And if the shot exited through the mouth, why wouldn’t the camera man been hit?
Issleb’s testimony, is again not scientifically correct, (which should be for such a “well respected skeptic”) and contradicts some of the things Dyer states had occurred.
An exit wound through the mouth would have been catastrophic and noticeable, mouth closed upon examination or not. There would have been a fair amount of swelling and disfigurement.
Thanks to Bruce Barraclough, we have the links to the interviews.

Thanks to Matt Knapp and also Larry Wentz for pointing out BigfootTrackerLLC.com, and thanks to all the other contributors, the list is getting way to big to list them all now!!!
Whether this is a real spoof site or not, they identify Musky Allen, using his real first name, which many did not know, REALLY was.
The interesting thing is site spoof or not, identifies Musky, (Issleb), and uses his real first name. Some researchers thought that Tim Mitchell was really Musky Allen, but that is incorrect.
Mitchell appears to be someone as Cindy “Pinkfoot” Shafer is, caught in the belief and entrenched that Dyer’s claims are real.
Even to the point that Shafer has been saying she cannot be friends with people if they are friends of mine. (Is this High School?)
I wouldn’t read much into the site, it does appear to be a spoof and someone’s disgust and anger over this strange diversion to real Bigfoot research.
But as to the people making the big claims, it would seem that the house of cards is crumbling. This often occurs when things are just, made up. Players reveal themselves, and more inconsistencies arise as more players get involved, as well as more outlandish claims.

Thank you for posting this. Last night I submitted substantially the same information to a different blog. We can look upon this as substantiation of each other’s research.
Amen to that Dale… thank you!!! If you have time throw the link in the comments for the readers to catch yours! —> Steve
My hubby, a pathologist, said that he has never heard of a partial embalming. You embalm the entire body, not parts of it.
Yeah, Issleb posted the preservation techniques prior to the visit, and the partial embalming didn’t add up. He said organs and organ cavity. Which when I said would mean hair, nails, and skin would be decomposed in “cool” room. He disappeared from bff and hasn’t returned. When I mentioned the parasitic powder wouldn’t slow decomposition (or smell) the later statements say he couldn’t verify it was frozen. Prior to the visit, he said it was positively not frozen because it would ruin the skin cells for forensic testing that hadn’t been done yet. It’s just post interview backtracking.
Keep up the pressure 🙂
I knew something was afoot. The Musky-Jack Barnes show I did was probably a ploy to get publicity…I am going to interview Jeff Meldrum next saturday at cabelas…more to come
Excellent work, Steve! I’ve believed that there is some kind of link between FBFB and the Dyer camp as well, but have had no luck finding anything about ‘Jack Barnes” or “Jeff Anderson”. I’m glad to see someone making some headway on it.
I am reserving judgment until there is something that can be shared by all and not a “chosen” person. I do have to look at it like this – if you were going to release a documentary about the men who hunt Bigfoot and the hysteria in the field, wouldn’t a fantastic PR angle be to use the very community to hype it up? Create a fictional scenario (think of “The Fourth Kind”) to show in real life the fervor that will be portrayed by the hunters in the video? It seems like a brilliant ploy and perhaps “War of the Worlds” sized PR. Just a thought.
Doesn’t even have to be a PR ploy… if the documentary is about the good, bad and ugly and they included Biscardi and Dyer to show that ugly. It would make sense that if this were legit, this would be the main story, but it’s only a minor part of the film. Dyer’s selling copies for them regardless. Maybe he’s just making a % of the profits. Minnow has a good reputation. They wouldn’t ruin it trying to hoax everyone. But I think they would show how hoaxers do their thing and some still buy into it.
Thanks for the info. Think you can get a statement from minnow films as their name is being thrown around in this? Also, I have a suspicion fbfb is using this (they cannot be so dumb to take this at face value) to promote their book which if true is very inappropriate. Would hate to see them profit off this while claiming plausible deniability in the process. Please help make them pay the price of dishonesty..
It’s been tried but they are mum. However if they had what Dyer/Issleb states they have, one would think it’d make mainstream news by now. Instead, it’s just going to the Tribeca Film Festival.
Great post, Steve.
Oh, and can you help me with this: According to Robert Lindsay, Minnow Films was going to present “Of Monsters and Men” at the film festival in Austin TX in March. I checked the list of films scheduled to be shown. Couldn’t find it. Would a skilled investigator such as yourself please check the veracity of the claim that this film (which is said to include Dyer’s stuff) actually exists on the schedule?
I will see what I can do Thom!!!
Here we go again with Rick Dyer and another dead bigfoot thats too big for the freezer, when will people learn to not trust anything this mans says unless you see it with own eyes and even then it may still be fake.
If someone did have a dead Sasquatch and wanted to keep it out of the hands of the government, the best thing they could probably do is get a known fibber to claim he had killed a Sasquatch that was “being examined in a secret location,” a red herring to throw off the MIBFS. But I’m not going to take sides here. I figure it will all be revealed in due time
I was listening to a Coast to Coast episode about werewolves, with author Linda Godfrey.
The caller who calls in with his fantastical “werewolf” story that occured in Portugal sounded very familiar to me. Am I crazy, or is this RD pulling another prank? ( he comes on at mark 2:17:45)
I could very well be wrong. 🙂
Great post Steve, and im sure u like the joke convo me and musky had that day…. Patrick
