"The story behind this is that there was a mentally deficient In dian boy who was kept chained by his parents," Corbett said. "When this boy was 17 years old. 28 years ago, he broke the chains and disappeared. The Indians found his clothes but never saw him again. They said he had ex tremely large feet. "We talked it over a great deal and figured this man now must be fi feet 7 inches to 7 feet 6 inches tall. We thought he might weigh as much as 400 pounds. He made firm footprints in hard ground. "Measuring the footprints for a distance of more than 60 feet, we found the average stride was 50 inches. We checked this against the stride of a man 6 feet 4 inches tall, with long legs, aitl his stride was 30 inches. "We were told Tiy people who saw footprints made when this un known man was running that they were 10 feet apart. "I know positively this is a hu man being. "It seems logical that it is this Indian who disappeared and is living wild. He does his traveling at night. He has not molested any one. We learned these tracks have been appearing for the past 10 years." Corbelt said Titmus is preparing to set up camera traps in an ef fort to obtain a photo of Big Foot.
