Momo, the Missouri Monster, has become an iconic image of the Midwestern-type of Bigfoot during the early 1970s.

The first eyewitness’s sketch and investigator Walt Andrus’ enhanced drawing of Momo (both above) served as the model for several later versions, such as Harry Trumbore’s drawing of Momo in my own The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates.

The program Legend of the Ozarks, January 21, 2012, 6:00 PM ET, Travel Channel, will feature Randy “Driveroperator” Harrington and D.W. “Darkwing” Lee as they recreate Randy’s encounter and conduct research into the Missouri version of Bigfoot called “Momo.”
