Editor's Note: For what it's worth, I sent Meldrum possible hair samples he said he was interested in testing and he stopped responding to my emails after twice saying he was busy and hadn't gotten around to it after further status update inquiries from me.

Comments regarding his dismissive comments regarding Melba Ketchum's Sasquatch DNA research:

If Melba Ketchum's work is so poor, why is it that so few of her critics have tried to do it correctly? Certainly, there is more to be learned from DNA at this point than from looking at the thousand and oompteenth footprint. I don't get the animosity in the Sasquatch community, which seems to be based more on people than science.

Jeffrey Kalb I was disappointed in his response about Dr. Ketchum. Over 100 samples of DNA that were blind tested by different respected labs in this and other countries seem pretty difficult to argue against.Erin gemini

Wow! I am SO disappointed at what Dr. Meldrum said about Dr.Ketchum/ Sasquatch Genome Project! It is obvious that he did not work with Dr. Ketchum at all in that project, OR, he was told by the powers that be to tarnish and discredit every aspect of the research. Also, he completely misunderstood everything she said about Lemurs, as well as the reason(s) that the results of the SGP had to be published in a scientific journal that she was basically forced to purchase. The findings of the Sasquatch Genome Project were PEER REVIEWED AS WELL AS ACCEPTED by those peers/ academics that were NOT told WHAT they were reviewing. That is how it is done for ALL peer reviews, because you don't want to influence the opinions of the people reviewing your scientific analysis!!! Unfortunately, exactly 5 minutes BEFORE THE PRESS CONFERENCE (That was going to announce the findings of this 5-year project). They were going to ANNOUNCE that SASQUATCH EXIST! The Peer reviewers pulled out just 5 mins before the announcement was going to be given, because, they thought it would blemish the reputation of their journal. So Dr. Ketchum was forced to purchase those results, to purchase the results, you have to purchase the entire journal!! Also, based on the answers he is giving to SO many questions, he is trying to" straddle in the middle of the road" he does not want to seem to take sides! If you go back, and listen to this interview, a 2nd time, pretending like an F.B.I. guy or M.I.B. is holding a gun to Dr. Meldrum's head, and silently signaling for him to answer "correctly"- I think you will be able to see what I mean....Until now, I never really wondered HOW it is that Dr. M is able to keep his job at Idaho State, and at the same time, talk about Sasquatch as openly as he does. I'm an Archaeology student. I created a Sasquatch website in our Website design class. I was extremely surprised at the reaction of my instructor, rolling his eyes, making faces, and cutting off my presentation before I was 1/2 way through. That being said, my college is also a State University...how is it that Dr. Meldrum does not get ousted, he is supported by the section of the government that is in charge of things like;
1. Discrediting Sasquatch Genome Sequencing
2. Confiscating, collecting, Exterminating Any and ALL Sasquatch, and/or their bodies. Theres stories of the military up at Mt. St. Helens collecting Sasquatch bodies, "talking" to civilians about Sasquatch and what they saw( this branch of the govt, not "talks" to Sasquatch witnesses at disaster areas, but all witnesses of them in every area). Even before the Pandemic happened the U.S. Government was struggling financially. Can you imagine, without the income from State & National parks, it would be a disaster,(and again, that was before the Pandemic)!! I'm glad to see the REAL Dr. Meldrum, bummer, I thought he was on Sasquatch's side!!😔Grammy 3G

The government has had plenty of specimens, when Mt. St. Helens blew it killed thousands of wildlife including bigfoot of which was taken away. And there are shadow groups that thin out the population especially ones that infringe on suburban communities. There is a covert operation not known to the public. The government out shoots have shadow groups out there even from other countries that are called in to control certain problem areas. Even the green beret have been called in, during serious searches of children.
