Del Norte County
Sheriff To Study
'Bigfoot' Report
Crescent City - (UPD - Del
Norte County Sheriff Oswald
Hovgaard planned yesterday
to investigate reports of huge
footprints found in primitive
Six Rivers national forest
following claims by two men
that an eight-foot "ape-like"
creature dashed in front of
their car.
The 16-inch long, seven-
inch wide footprints have
been reported for the past
six weeks in logging country
100 miles northeast of Eu
reka. It was believed they
were within Humboldt coun-
ty but a closer check showed
they were just over the line
in Del Norte county.
"I guess I'll have to look
into it," Sheriff Hovgaard
said when notified the prints
were in his jurisdiction. "But
I can't see where any laws
' have been broken.
Construction workers Ray
Kerr, 43, and Leslie Brea
zeale, 35, reported that the
"beast" they believed respon
sible for the footprints leaped
across the road before them
in two bounds as they headed
toward the, Wallace -Construction
company camp Sunday
. night.
"It was all covered with
? hair and it didn't have any
clothing on," Kerr said. "It
looked 8 or 10 feet tall to
me. I don't think it was hu
man, but it was not a bear
or any animal I've ever seen.
Ray Wallace, co-owner of
t the construction firm, said 15
men have quit their jobs as a
result of the footprint re
ports.
Los Angeles-IUPD-A Los An
geles anthropology student
was en route to the wilds of

sion show "Truth or Conse
quences" and told to head
north to investigate the foot
prints which; were said, to
measure 16 inches between
'heel and toe.'
