Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Todd Prescott:
Spoke with witness on February 24, 2009. Witness resides in Arizona. He was driving back from Fredericton, New Brunswick, where he and his wife had attended their daughter's wedding. They were heading west on Route 3 when the witness noticed a red or maroon vehicle pulled over on the side of the road up on the grass. Witness kept an eye on the vehicle, unsure of why it was pulled over, and seemingly abandoned. As he approached the vehicle, whilst maintaining the speed limit, he kept an eye on the vehicle. He looked back to the road in front of him, and surprisingly, saw an upright figure in the middle of the road up ahead of him. The road was a straight, flat stretch at that point, but witness was unsure of original distance from him to the creature when he first spotted it. As he approached the creature, it was moving from south to north from the middle of the road. Witness could not determine the gender of the creature, its height or weight. He did mention during our phone conversation that he felt it may have been a foot or two taller than a man. He commented that it seemed rather tall.
He felt that the creature was 'well-built' - not fat, but muscular and evenly proportioned for its height. The hair/fur appeared neat in appearance, but not thick or dense. Witness thought that he had noticed patches where the skin showed through (the skin appeared dark in color). The creature's head was facing down as it walked, and consequently, witness did not notice any facial features, and no neck was visible.
The muscles of the creature's thighs and legs were visible as it crossed over the road and proceeded to transverse the ditch. Witness was surprised that the creature's gait and movement did not change as it walked down into the ditch. Movement was natural - not forced or awkward.
Witness believes that the distance from the edge of the road to the tree line is approximately 30ft. He remembers the area as being a bit boggy/swampy and well-endowed with forest cover.
Witness' wife did not see the creature. She was told later about the incident.
During our phone conversation, the witness did not stray from the details of his submitted report. He thought for a moment during the sighting that perhaps someone was playing a joke on him. However, as he watched the creature, and witnessed the muscles expanding and contracting, as well as its unusual descent down into the ditch, it became apparent to him that it was a not a human, but rather a unique bipedal creature synonymous with other descriptions of bigfoot/sasquatch.
