Bigfoot Sightings on the Rez!

Officer Katherine Montoya, a mother to a student of mine, alleges she spotted Bigfoot in Northfork (a neighborhood a few miles north of Whiteriver) on August 14, 2006. Here's part of her account:

“I was called for a prowler at the Lupe’s residence. The caller had told dispatch there was something black, tall, and hairy looking at him through a window. While on route, dispatch advised me that the subject was standing by the freezer behind the house. I pulled into the driveway and my patrol unit headlights hit a black tall being, standing between two pine trees by a broken down truck. The being turned his head towards the light, grabbed, what looked like, its head and ducked down. I advised my lieutenant that the thing was down, sitting by the truck. Lieutenant Kahn then came around the back heading by the truck. I then heard a loud crashing sound! Upon further investigation, we found that the fence behind the truck had been broken out! I noted that when I saw the subject standing by the truck, about 30 feet away, it stood approximately 6’7’’ tall. It appeared to be about 220 pounds or more. It had exceptionally long arms, it did not appear to be wearing any clothes and just appeared black. When it turned towards me, the most obvious feature was its eyes. The skin around his eyes was a lighter color than the rest of the face. It appeared almost white while the rest of the suspect was black. I could smell a distinct odor, like a stink bug. You know, when you squish a stink bug it smells. It never made any sounds until it crashed through the fence behind the truck.”

My students are exploring Wikipedia and are all abuzz about the Bigfoot sightings; I think these two topics are linked because one student found the Bigfoot wiki and wants to do his own version.
