July 7, 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
