Latest Update: The Hand of Unknown Origin
Posted by: Craig Woolheater on July 7th, 2006
I emailed Tom Biscardi to make the offer to post the DNA test results here on Cryptomundo on Wednesday.
Here is the email that I sent:
Mr. Biscardi,
I wanted to give you the opportunity to reveal the results of the DNA testing done by DNA Diagnostics Center on tissue samples of the "Hand of Unknown Origin."
I contacted them regarding the test results and I received a reply from Felicity Tao, Marketing Program Leader, Forensic Services at DNA Diagnostics Center. She stated the following:
Our laboratory did provide a standard DNA test to Mr. Tom Biscardi. However, the statements Mr. Biscardi used in his press release dated June 9, 2006 on the website: searchingforbigfoot.com are not consistent with our report, and we found the statements grossly misinterpreted and very misleading.
Due to the confidential nature of DNA testing for identification, we won’t be able to publicize the original report without the consent of our client. Since Mr. Biscardi directly quoted us in the press release, we found we have no choice but clarify our findings.
I wanted to see if you would consent to them publicizing the report to clarify their findings. I would be more than happy to publish these results on Cryptomundo.
Thanks, Craig Woolheater

I got a response, but not from Tom himself, but from JavaBob, the Corporate Secretary for Searching for Bigfoot Inc. Following is his response:
Attention; Craig Woolheater,
Tom Biscardi received the following message from you and forwarded it on to me, JavaBob. I am currently the Corporate Secretary for Searching for Bigfoot Inc. I will do my best to answer your requests.
Firstly, the verbal reply we received from DNA Diagnostics Center, in Fairfield, Ohio,;
The DNA tests confirm that the hand is…
1) Not Human
2) Not any known primate
3) Not in even “in the system”
The DNA Laboratory was so intrigued by their findings, that they chose to do some additional testing on the hand.
The results from the second test our posted on our website. We have asked for, and have been promised, the original results in writing, to be posted along with the second test results.
Forensic Services at DNA Diagnostics Center has been besieged with requests from people all over the world for these results and will not release them to anyone other than Tom Biscardi. Obviously, their standard business practice is to only release this type of information to the original party who purchased it.
I hope this is helpful. I will post the original finding on our website, as is our practive, as soon as it becomes available.
Thank you for your interest and please monitor the www.searchingforbigfoot.com website for all breaking news.
Sincerely;
JavaBob

I then emailed Felicity Tao at DNA Diagnostics Center again relaying the official word from Biscardi’s organization regarding the DNA testing. She replied with the following:
Mr. Woolheater:
We have issued all results for the test we performed for Mr. Tom Biscardi. There was no "verbal report", and there is no promised report coming out from our laboratory in the future. We have completed our services to Mr. Biscardi. Any claims that we gave them a "verbal testing result" as he stated in the press release or that any future reports would be issued from our laboratory are false.
Thank you.
Felicity
Sounds like opposite and opposing views to me…
Co-founder of Cryptomundo in 2005.
I have appeared in or contributed to the following TV programs, documentaries and films:
OLN's Mysterious Encounters: "Caddo Critter", Southern Fried Bigfoot, Travel Channel's Weird Travels: "Bigfoot", History Channel's MonsterQuest: "Swamp Stalker", The Wild Man of the Navidad, Destination America's Monsters and Mysteries in America: Texas Terror - Lake Worth Monster, Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot: Return to Boggy Creek and Beast of the Bayou.
Deja-vu??? TB up to his old tricks.
How come I am not surprised by this from Biscardi and his merry band.
Wow… and I hate to be petty, but those grammatical and spelling errors from a “professional” organization just really irk me. It’s one thing in a hastily typed blog post, quite another to continuously cut and paste the grammatically incorrect:
‘3) Not in even “in the system”‘
ad nauseum.
Please, Biscardi and crew, at the very least, DROP THAT FIRST “in”.
And, JavaBob, I know that ‘c’ and ‘v’ are next to each other on the keyboard, but the word is “practice”, not “practive”.
If you are going to draft an e-mail that, essentially, does nothing at all to answer any questions, at least run a spell check first. I mean, it isn’t going to catch your extra “in” or any other incorrect usage of properly spelled words, but at least it would catch “practive.”
Just one more reason to NOT believe much of anything from this guy.
He’s going through a lot of trouble to hype that bear claw.
seems like the same ol double talk with lots of words amounting to nothing.
even if you pay [i gotta say if you have to pay to see it, i place the results right up there with the three legged cow in the side show]i doubt you will see anything worth while.
if tom biscardi has one bit of honesty left under all the lies he will publicly release the dna sequencing report and provide samples for all who request to check his results.
i mean come on tom that is how real researchers have their evidence tested. by peer review.
it is the same bull feces from biscardi. as soon as a prominent dna lab completes testing the way the hand was stored mysteriously degraded the dna to the point it cant be tested. and for this and the test results we only have his word and some cool aid drinker java bob to back him up.
anyone smell anything. well that is biscardi. he has been shoveling crap so long he cant get the smell off of him.
somewhere in Bigfoot hoaxer hell there is a man named Marx clapping saying that’s my boy if they think your lying just make up another lie to cover it up
tom i also want to point you in the direction of a map to actually measure the mileage between phoenix and Alaska.
but I’m sure on the Bigfoot census report you have it somehow makes sense that Bigfoot would migrate from the sonoran desert past hundreds of thousands of acres or mountains and other decent habitat just to get to the cool Alaskan tundra..
is there a negative part of the credibility scale?
“What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.”
I’d sure hate to be TB when his karma finally turns around and bites him in the butt.
And ‘JavaBob’ makes exactly the same grammatical error,
“The results from the second test our posted on our website.”
Coincidence or Mystery?
