Charles "Snake" Stuart said DNA testing on an alleged 8-foot, 300-pound Bigfoot body found in New York showed 58.5% Neanderthal and 41.5% human DNA.
Stuart told Click On Detroit the remains—nicknamed "Dack" and said to have been found in the Adirondacks in October 2024—were tested at Cornell University's Veterinary DNA Lab.
The claim revives a specimen Stuart publicly displayed at the 2025 Great New York State Fair, where veteran Bigfoot researcher Matthew Moneymaker had already dismissed it as a fake.
Stuart argues the results show Bigfoot is not a great ape and says he plans to keep exhibiting the body despite long-running accusations that the discovery is a hoax.
