A man dressed who was apparently trying to provoke reports of a Bigfoot sighting in northwestern Montana was struck by two cars and killed. The man was wearing a military-style Ghillie suit consisting of strips of camouflage fabric and was standing in the right-hand lane of a highway south of Kalispell on Sunday night when he was hit by the first car, according to the Montana Highway Patrol. A second car hit the man as he lay in the roadway, authorities said. Flathead County officials identified the man as Randy Lee Tenley, 44, of Kalispell. Trooper Jim Schneider said his motives were ascertained during interviews with friends, and alcohol may have been a factor but investigators were awaiting tests. He was trying to make people think he was Sasquatch so people would call in a Sasquatch sighting, Schneider told the Daily Inter Lake newspaper on Monday. You cant make it up. I havent seen or heard of anything like this before.Obviously, his suit made it difficult for people to see him. Ghillie suits are a type of full-body clothing made to resemble heavy foliage and used to camouflage military snipers. He probably would not have been very easy to see at all, Schneider told KECI-TV.
