Man claims DNA proves Bigfoot is Neanderthal human hybrid after finding remains in Adirondacks
"We had blood, hair, and fecal matter. And we just submitted it all and got that done through a friend of mine who worked at the Cornell veterinarian biodna lab. And the results came back, as you mentioned, 58.5% Neanderthal/Denisovan and 41.5% human."
About this episode
Jesse Weber Live covered major developments in three high-profile criminal cases alongside political and cultural stories. The lead story focused on day four of Tyler Robinson's preliminary hearing for the murder of Charlie Kirk, where Robinson's former romantic partner Lance Twigs delivered bombshell testimony in a recorded interview. Twigs testified that Robinson confessed to the shooting the day after Kirk's death, telling him 'he wishes he hadn't done it' while acting erratically. Prosecutors also presented text messages in which Robinson allegedly admitted to the killing and said he'd had enough of Kirk's hatred. DNA evidence linking Robinson to the rifle used in the shooting was introduced, with his DNA found on the trigger and wrapped towel, though defense attorneys challenged the FBI's testing methods. The show also examined a major scandal at the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office, where over a dozen employees are under investigation for improperly accessing sealed files in the David murder case involving 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Forensic analyst Joseph Scott Morgan warned this breach could undermine the prosecution and destroy trust between law enforcement and medical examiners for years. In political news, Weber covered Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner's withdrawal from Maine's race following rape allegations, scrambling the contest against Republican Susan Collins with just 18 days until the replacement deadline. The episode also touched on escalating US-Iran hostilities, Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively's continued feud fallout, and an unusual segment on a hunter claiming DNA evidence proves Bigfoot is a Neanderthal-human hybrid.
