Man killed during alleged Bigfoot stunt

A man posing as Sasquatch was killed after he was struck by two cars on a Montana highway. KCFW's Scott Zoltan reports.

 

KALISPELL, Mont. - A 44-year-old Kalispell man wearing a military-style "ghillie" suit was struck by two cars and killed Sunday night, authorities said.

The man, identified as Randy Lee Tenley, was apparently wearing the store-bought suit when he was struck by a car driven by a 15-year-old girl, NBCMontana.com reported. Another car swerved, and a third car, troopers say driven by a 17-year old girl, ran him over, the station reported.


Read the original story on NBCMontana.com

Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Jim Schneider told the Daily Inter Lake, "he was trying to make people think he was Sasquatch so people would call in a Sasquatch sighting." Schneider said alcohol may have been a factor.

Dispatchers received no calls of monster sightings, just the one that sent emergency crews rushing to the scene, the NBCMontana.com report said.

Ghillie suits are a type of full-body clothing made to resemble heavy foliage and used to camouflage military snipers, The Associated Press reported.

"He probably would not have been very easy to see at all," Schneider told KECI-TV.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

SO--as usual, MSN doesn't get all the facts. Was the 15 year old accompanied by a legal guardian, or driving illegally?

Of course, if she were an ILLEGAL, MSN would never print that.

According to the Montana DOJ Driver's Licensing site a 15 year old can be licensed to drive and on the road until 11 pm if they meet certain criteria and with some restrictions. By themselves. Without a legal guardian.

If you need proof, here 'tis:

You might want to consider getting all the facts yourself before spouting your bigoted drivel.

Her age doesn't surprise me at all since farming states tend to have lower driving-age laws. In North Dakota I obtained my permit at 14 and then my license at 14.5. It's that way because younger people would help work the family farms and would have to learn how to drive cars and farm equipment to help out. Some people are so ignorant.

MOmaid---

What difference does it make? However, you aren't asking the right questions. Why was this grown man out in the night trying to scare people - scaring them to the degree that they feel compelled to run him over? Whether the 15 year-old was accompanied by a licensed driver is really immaterial and has no connection to the actual topic of this story.

momaid had a valid point about the 15 year old. To most people it is a logical question. Is it legal for a 15 year old to be driving? We want to be informed, so inform us. We shouldn't have to research and answer such a logical question about an important facet of the story. If it were a 40 yr old man on his way home from work we would not have any questions. If msnNBC had taken the extra time to research and report the info, we the readers, would have thought. "I never knew that. Interesting".

Instead NBC News staff take an NBC News Montana story and "aledge" the guy was attempting to make people think he was BIGFOOT when in NBC Montanas report clearly states:

“According to his companions, he was out there in the ghillie suit attempting to incite a sighting of Bigfoot, to make people think they had seen a Sasquatch

What is aledged about that? He was trying to make people think he was BIGFOOT but it turned out he was a DUMBASS who is now DEAD and a number of people are forever affected by the stupidity. Including his "companions".

When I was an instructor in a major university, I always motivated my students to look up information that will provide the whole answer. If I lectured in class, I never lectured from the book, because the student was expected to read the book if it was required for that specific subject/class. The "looking up/research" part was designed to expand their horizons. "Give a person a fish each day and he will eat that day; teach a person to fish and they will eat every day"!

1.5 post is just angry that a fellow bigot was owned for their ignorance.

1.15 "alleged" is appropriate in this case likely because they had no other supporting evidence that it was a bigfoot stunt other than what the highway patrolman said. Although, it would be better to just leave it out of the headline and attribute the statement to the police directly.

@tfnj,

Or when the first question is a legit one, and the rest of the people turn it around to make him/her look stupid. It's a fair question since of the 50 states, (50) the driving age across the country is mostly 16. Either way, like you said, playing in the road with your gillie suit on, Here's your sign.

#1.28 - Tue Aug 28, 2012 8:54 AM EDT

Tommy, there is nothing in the article that leads me to believe the girl was driving alone, therefore an assumption about it is idiotic. There is no explanation in the article about the legal driving age in that state, therefore someone making an assumption about it is idiotic. This article is about two girls running over a fool in a gillie suit, and not about what age teen kids drive. Therefore someone bringing this up as a main talking point is idiotic.

Can I clarify that in any other way?

Seems to me what would come out of MO's mind next is the fact that woman who are legitimately raped do not get pregnant. yeah, that's the line of thinking coming out of that mind, judging by that post.

    Wow. So an idiot in a Bigfoot outfit is wandering at night and gets hit by some cars, and the first thing people on here do is bring illegals, nbc, and the age of the drivers into it while ignoring the point of the article in the first place. Just in case you didn't read the story before you felt the need to jump in and bring your obvious agendas into the thread here, the story wasn't about 15 year old drivers, who could definitely be legal depending where you are, illegals, who weren't mentioned at all here, and the people who wrote the story instead of noticing the idiot running around at night in that idiotic outfit you can't see at night is the cause of the accident and reason the story was written.

    But don't let that stop you from trying to get in your agenda here...feel better now?

        Where in the article did you see that the drivers were texting? Apparently the drivers were paying attention because they swerved to avoid a man wearing a ghille suit at night and considering that it can be hard to see them in broad daylight speaks volumes for their skill. Also the driving age varies from state to state, so maybe you should do due diligence before posting.

          #1.49 - Wed Aug 29, 2012 11:05 AM EDT

          You can get a license in many rural western states as young as 14 if there is a need. In many rural areas, kids have to travel miles to just get to the bus stop to go to school. Those kids who start working at 14 or who participate in sports or other after school activities may need to drive. The fact that someone would step out into traffic after dark in a suit designed to make you less noticeable indicates the deceased wasn't acting very intelligent or adult. The drivers who struck him will probably have nightmares for life and by all reports, they were not in the wrong. The roads in that area are mostly through forrested areas with large trees creating shadows and very dark areas and few if any lights other than the cars headlights to illuminate the roads. Montana drivers are accustomed to seeing and dodging deer, elk, moose and even bears, but seeing a person who is dressed in an outfit that is designed to make them blend into their surroundings would be a difficult task for any driver- not just a 15 year old. While I feel sorry for the deceased family and friends, my sympathy also goes to the young ladies who have been affected for life by the actions of a grown man who made very poor decisions.

          My message to the girls is "It will take some time, but don't worry yourselves over it. Throughout your life you will witness crazy people doing crazier things." I once struck a cow in the road with my car on a dark and rainy night, Ole Bessie was completely black and blended in too well. The officer asked me who I thought he should put in his report as being at fault. I said I was where I was supposed to be, I don't think the cow could say the same.

Has he tried to impersonate a Sasquatch before? Did his high school senior yearbook list him as being most likely to produce a Sasquatch hoax? Is one of his most endearing attributes Sasquatchery? Although this is horribly tragic, the answers to these questions may never be known.

            "

            Hartvig- took the words out of my mouth!

            Well, now that Bigfoot is dead we can focus more on the Loch Ness monster, aliens and others"

            Actually aliens should exist. We exist. There's something like 10x10^26 planets in the observable universe alone. At the very least, we know there is a 1 in 10X10^26 chance that there is life in the universe... and that's assuming we are the only planet we can see that has life so... Oh yea the universe is supposedly something like 15 trillion years old too so aliens most likely had a huge head start on technology and understanding the universe. With that being said, the flying saucer sitting in complete silence in some other dimension hovering above your house or wherever you live waiting to abduct you is completely in the realm of possibility. Bigfoot? Maybe not.

            But for the record - A Sasquatch WAS finally found !! Low and behold - there was a man inside a suit trying to fool someone. Gee, I never saw that coming.

            1) Sasquatch does not exist

            2) People are morons and want to believe things

            3) Not surprised he was killed by 15 & 17 year old female drivers

                        "May" is a code word used by police to say something that they haven't confirmed via blood test yet. If they didn't believe alcohol was the root of the issue they wouldn't have even mentioned it.

                          #4.9 - Tue Aug 28, 2012 10:25 AM EDT

                          ""May" is a code word used by police to say something that they haven't confirmed". The police may thinks it's a code word, but back in the day, English teachers and Mirriam Webster were telling everyone it was just the common definition.

                                  Bigfoot is too real. I can prove it. My brother wears a size 14, my son a size 15 shoe. I'm the runt of the litter at a size 13. They are a bit hairier than me, but I'm of the female persuasion, and therefore I'm a bit less hirsute. BTW, we are all over 6' tall, too. (And I'm still the runt.) My granddaughter is 6' 3".

                                  Bigfoot IS real. I read about him in one of those magazines by the checkout lane in the grocery store. He was last seen hopping into a NASCAR stock car and doing doughnuts in the center of the racetrack and waving at the fans before racing out of the stadium. At least that's what I read.

                                  No laws against killing Sasquatch, therefor no charges should be filed against the drivers

Just last night I had trouble sleeping and decided to watch a good science documentary, and what did I find? A bunch of toothless, heehawing hillbillies making complete dumbasses of themselves. Who in the hell ever came up with the idea of putting these 'people' on TV? It's not entertainment and it's not even a joke, but a freaking bad joke. I'm from Oklahoma and believe me, I left that state so fast my friends claimed they heard a sonic boom!

                                        Stephen Coder , From your spelling, punctuation, and crammatical errors I would say that you are certainly not a redneck. We rednecks teach our children to pay attention to their teachers and learn something while they are in the classroom. You can't type one sentence without displaying an amazing amount of ignorance of the language of the land. You must be a city dwelling liberal who went to schools that teach critical thinking but do not instill knowledge. Now get back to work, your mop is drying out.

                                        I heard about a guy who was killed in an a one vehicle wreck in Midland Texas. He was wearing a tutu with garter belt and hose, a black lace bra and an Obama 2012 T shirt. The police removed the Obama T shirt before taking any photos to keep his family from being embarrassed.

                                          Sad to hear someone died. But he did do it to himself, so my pity is more for any family and friends, then him. Alcohol causes stupid ideas, and often ends in death.

                                            I made my son wait until he was 18 to get his driver's license, and it's still hair~raising. Young kids are just not ready to drive, regardless of the laws in any given state.

                                            I received my license at 16. Used a motor home for the drivers test. Scored a 92 out of 100 on the written exam, and missed one point on the driven test. I started driving at nine. I learned on farming equipment, and old trucks used in the farming business. By the age of 14, I was pulling trailers, backing them into their proper locations, double clutch an old granny geared truck. I was already able to perform tune-ups, oil changes, and rebuild carburetors. Now, I'm a professional driver, and my daily job is to pick up the people that can't seem to drive. Statistically, in my area, the middle aged "know it all" folks cause far more accidents than the high schoolers. Personally, I know far more well qualified young drivers, than I do persons of middle to elderly age.

                                            More middle-aged than teens? I seriously doubt it. It's mostly the teens who are distracted by texting and such. Nice try, though.

                                            Everywhere, there would be a lot higher graduation, if you had to have a high school diploma to get a drivers license. Ride the dumb ass bus till you grad.

                                            Right there with you Joe J. It's not the age, it's the maturity. If some nitwit runs out in front of you, it's very difficult to miss him. It's not their fault he was an idiot. They will probably have nightmares about this incident for a long time to come.

                                            I started driving when I was 16. I never had an accident until I was into my 40s, and it wasn't even my fault. Someone hit me. Don't blame the kids for the drunk dressed up in a Gilly suit.

                                            I guess you would call me an idiot but I can't joke when someone dies even if they did something really stupid. Probably all of you that drink have done stupid things and you can be thankful you lived through it. Rick says no laws against killing bigfoot, but the last thing I read about bigfoot, I think they mentioned there were laws against harming bigfoot.

                                            Everything I ever did seemed perfectly reasonable at the time I was doing it.

                                            In WAshington State, where we have or had a high number of sightings it is only illegla in ONE county not to harm haress or kill the ape like creature.....and that is Skamania County. In Idaho there is to the best of my knowledge and having searched, also no fully detailed law applying to this thing. Questions?....Try doing the leg work first before making wildly in-accurate statements based soley on emotions.

                                            I am now 65 . I was driving 5ton trucks at 14 in the state of CT. Farming areas. There is nothing wrong with young people driving that have experience on farm equitment. Now if you are talking about city kids that is another whole animal

                                            Now that like every 8 year old in North America is armed with at least a 10 mega pixel camera/phone, you would think someone would have snapped a decent pic of bigfoot if it actually existed, which it does not.

                                              The article is about a man being killed trying to be funny.

                                              your statement is a glaring example of Pot v. Kettle

                                                This man was too old - 44 years old - to be out in the night doing something this stupid. He probably scared people into running into him since he was struck twice by two different drivers. Apparently, they weren't going to just sit in their car and allow some "thing" to attack them. So, they went on the offense. What a blamed fool and a extra stupid way to become the newly, dearly departed.

                                                Yeah, you're right. If this guy were in his 20's, it'd make much more sense to be drunk and in the street.

                                                That isn't the point. Even if he had been in his 20's, he'd still be too old to behave in such an immature manner. But, 44 years old? Please! No defense for the indefensible. His actions were juvenile, period. He was old enough to have thought through the potential consequences of his actions - theoretically, anyway.

                                                AND---

                                                Not simply drunk in the street - but drunk - in the street - with a costume on - jumping out at people in the night - attempting to scare them - and scaring them into killing him as a result. That's the point.
