Darwin Award Candidate Bigfoot Hoax Gone Bad

Man killed while trying to create Bigfoot sighting

KALISPELL — A 44-year-old man wearing a full-body camouflage suit was struck and killed on U.S. Highway 93 south of Kalispell on Sunday night, apparently as he tried to stage a Bigfoot hoax.

Randy Lee Tenley of Kalispell was standing in the middle of the right-hand, southbound lane of the highway dressed in a military-style ghillie suit when two cars rounded a slight bend and could not avoid hitting the man.

He suffered massive trauma and died at the scene, according to Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Jim Schneider. The crash occurred at about 10:30 p.m. at mile marker post 106.9.

“The camouflage suit was dark and subdued. It’s designed to break up a silhouette and blend in with your surroundings,” Schneider said, adding that the suit has strips of burlap designed to accept leaves and foliage.

“It definitely hindered the ability of people to see him on the highway.”
Tenley was alone when he was hit and no one witnessed the crash directly, Schneider said. However, another member of Tenley’s party arrived at the crash scene soon after and spoke with the trooper about Tenley’s intentions.

“We can only speculate as to his exact intentions, but according to another member of his party his intention was to get people to believe they saw a Sasquatch,” Schneider said. “It is a bizarre set of circumstances, and it is certainly tragic.”

Schneider said he believes alcohol was involved, but he does not know whether Tenley was intoxicated.

None of the minor drivers had been drinking, and one teenage occupant of a vehicle that struck Tenley was taken to the hospital for minor injuries.

I wonder who's going to FOOT the bill on the car repairs.

...y'know what, I suck at this. I'll show myself out.

At least he died in a funny way?

That was some good camo.

Alcohol involved? I'm shocked.

At least there was no weed. That might have made him stupid.

LMAO

If I was the newspaper printing this story, I would include a photo of the guy that is fuzzy and out of focus.

How exactly does a ghilli suit make you look like bigfoot??

You do know that we are talking about a guy that was labeled a Darwin Award candidate here, right?

I like how the repost thread has more replies.

That's because it's more fun to badger the Darwinesque reposter.
