There is a rumor going around ~ I literally have now read it from individuals in three countries ~ that the “Sasquatch Attack” documentary “occurred five years ago.”
I’m not sure where some people get their information, but I think the dating of the nail board incident is being confused with the making of the documentary.
Supposedly, the nail board events took place in 2003 or perhaps 2004. There is enough vagueness about whether one or several animals might have stepped on this trap to raise some questions. But the board held only an old sample or samples, that’s for certain.
The board events may have happened in 2004, because in some accounts, the board was said to have been gathered two years later, during the production of the documentary, after something stepped on it. The date when the film production crew and Meldrum was in the field is known.
Doug Hajicek has directly answered my question about when the episode was filmed, and it occurred in 2006. The sample vials clearly are labeled with the date of their collection, August 14, 2006, in the series.
Dr. Jeff Meldrum indicated at the Texas conference no further DNA testing would be done, but Doug Hajicek told me overnight that qualified labs may be sent further samples.
One more thing. It was against the law for those devices to be used in the woods, in the first place.
According to Canadian law, the use of “nail traps” (sometimes with screws instead of nails) is illegal. Here’s a tidbit picked up from the Bigfoot Forums, posted by a former Canadian police officer:
Criminal Code ( R.S., 1985, c. C-46 )
247. (1) Every one is guilty of an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years, who with intent to cause death or bodily harm to a person, whether ascertained or not,
(a) sets or places a trap, device or other thing that is likely to cause death or bodily harm to a person; or
-b – being in occupation or possession of a place, knowingly permits such a trap, device or other thing to remain in that place.
