“Expedition Bigfoot” Investigation Yields DNA Results

The ‘Expedition Bigfoot’ team (left to right): Russell Acord, Ronny LeBlanc, Dr. Mireya Mayor, Bryce Johnson The elite team of researchers of “Expedition Bigfoot” returns from a two-month cross-country investigation after discovering mysterious evidence of a non-human primate in the Appalachians. The team collected surprising DNA evidence while in the field searching for the most famous and elusive cryptid, Bigfoot. Throughout their two-month journey, the team – Bryce Johnson (expedition operations), Dr. Mireya Mayor (primatologist), Russell Acord (ex-military/survivalist), and Ronny LeBlanc (Bigfoot researcher) – used the latest in advanced technologies to narrow their search within the designated target zones, beginning in Kentucky and then switching mid-expedition to Washington State.

During filming deep in the wilderness of Kentucky’s Appalachian highlands, DNA collected from soil under
