Once again, thanks to the stellar work of BoA columnist Lesley, we have been afforded a detailed recap of Tom Biscardi's 8.23 appearance on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, where the saga of Biscardigate reached a crescendo. Here, Biscardi details the story of how he was "hoodwinked" into believing they'd captured Bigfoot and Noory chastises him for false promises.

Here is Lesley's thorough coverage of Biscardi's appearance in the 1st hour of Tuesday night's C2C :

Note - not exact quotes - summary

George recaps Biscardi Bigfoot story up until this point. Gets Biscardi on the line and asks how he is.

Biscardi - I am tired and disappointed, but I’m fine.

George - What do you mean disappointed.

Biscardi - Like I told Tom your producer and I told your listeners yesterday that we would have it up on our website for them to see. It is up there now. It is on greatamericanbigfoot.com. It tells the story of how we were hoodwinked.

George - What do you mean hoodwinked?

Biscardi - What happened is this all started back on the 15th of January. Some people had been following our treks, through your show believe it or not. She had contacted Peggy Marx our cofounder. This woman out of stagecoach NV and preceded to tell her the story the sounds that had been going on at her house and that there was a Bigfoot in the area. So Peggy would each day relay these stories to me. She was on a Indian Reservation and her two Indians, who were like her sons had went out to search for these things. They had seen 1 that looked like it was injured so they shot it with arrows. I am listening to these stories on a daily basis as it goes along. I am saying to Peggy is there any validity? Do you understand what you are telling me? She says I have known this woman for 25 years and she has been following the trek and listening to you on George Noory and she wants to assist us and now that there is creatures down there. I say where are they now? Peggy says they are at her compound. I said who is caring for them? She says they have two vets. They were retired veterinarians.

George - That is the part of the story that you were relating Friday night then?

Biscardi - Correct. And one of the veterinarians was jealous of the other for ownership rights as the time ran on. Kicked the other vet out, supposedly he was thrown in jail. They thought he was crazy and he just came off some spaceship from Mars and they finally let him go 2 or 3 days later. Meanwhile the doctor who had the creature moved it to another state, hoping for it’s safety nothing would happen to it because the other doctor said he was going to track him down and get him and whoever was involved with him and do some serious bodily harm to them. So I am listening to these stories on a daily basis, like I told you and a couple of weeks have gone by now. Peggy is giving me updates of how they are feeding these creatures with milkshakes and bananas and with food and how they are communicating back and forth. The problem I was having with it is supposedly the male, the one that had been shot 4 or 5 times with arrows he was mending and he was really being docile and communicating with the doctors and then they find a female. I say to myself whoa. The story gets better, now we are getting to the point which was last week. And I say enough is enough, here is the deal you want me and my organization involved, fine, we will give it a safe haven and take care of it. I have all the people involved to make sure they are taken care of and secure. When can we make the transfer? Last week she says I am sending the tapes that the doctors had going 24 hours a day to watch it’s habits with two of the Indian boys. Peggy calls and tells me to be on the ready and she will call when they are leaving from stagecoach.

George - So at that time you still believed there was a captured Bigfoot?

Biscardi - Correct. And the reason being, Peggy has been in this business since 1951 and I have never doubted anything she has said or done. So at that point we go down to the ranch and we got there early and Peggy comes out of the house with her hands in the air shouting we got him, we got him. I said fantastic, great work Peg, seeing is believing. She says I know, but this woman is as sincere as can be and I have known her for 20 years. I say OK. Time goes by and no calls and nothing is happening, so I tell Peggy that I have never had a opportunity to talk to this woman, but I want to talk to her now. So she says OK and gets her on the phone and I put her on speaker so my whole crew can hear. The woman says the 2 Indian boys are coming down with a box of all the tapes and when we get them to call her.

George - So you tell the vast c2c audience that we have pictures coming.

Biscardi - You bet we do, that is exactly what I do. I’ll be honest with you when Tom caught me on Friday going to where we were going, I hadn’t had much sleep, but I’m tired. Here I am think fruition has come for me. That it is coming to the end. It is going to be actually there. We talk to the woman and the woman seems sincere as can be and she had all the right answers.

George - Did you talk to here face to face or just on the phone?

Biscardi - No, still on the phone. So I said OK fine. Please let us know if you hear from the boys. She says they will call me when they get to the town. We rest for several hours waiting for them to call, but at 9:00 I tell Peggy, what is going on? She says I don’t know. We called this woman and she doesn’t answer the phone. I say this is just too much.

George - Meanwhile your credibility is on the line.

Biscardi - Without a doubt. The next morning I get the first beef in 35 years with my cofounder and I call her, Peggy this is total insanity. We have all these people and time involved.

George - You have charged people for the internet service for that.

Biscardi - Well, what we charged the people for was streaming which we had been doing. So they haven’t been ripped at all. There were two people who emailed and said that they saw something last night, but this is more important. So now Peggy says to me that the woman just called and said the creatures have been kidnapped by the other doctor and they are in a town called Clearlake.

George - Oh, come on.

Biscardi - I swear to God this is exactly what is being said. And I said OK, this is absurd and I am not going to hear about it anymore and I hang up. I called back and I apologized. She says how far is it to Clearlake and I say that is 2 hours why? She says send someone over there and she gives directions to a warehouse and that is where the creature is being kept.

George - Tom lets cut to the chase here so we can get to phone calls, as far as you are concerned right now, there is no Bigfoot?

Biscardi - Nothing I have seen from these people. Can I continue the story?

George - No, I don’t want to get into the rest of the story because we don’t have time. You admit you were duped, there is no Bigfoot, there are no pictures. I just want to move on with some calls.

Biscardi - Let me say the thing about it is that when we finally got down to Stagecoach NV, to meet with this woman she wouldn’t let us in. We found her husband and converged on his job and this poor man didn’t anything about what was going on and the whole thing stemmed from the George Noory show, c2c. She was trying to compete with what we were doing.

George - and you believed her!

Biscardi - I did believe her.

George - Why?

Biscardi - Because it was too much coincidental stuff going on that made sense. Whether she read it in books and just fantasized about this, I have no idea and Peggy know her 25 years. The credibility of the stuff was just there.

George - You let somebody interfere with your investigation and I think lost so much creditability in doing so. I think even Loren Coleman believes that the area you selected, Happy Camp, is a area with a lot of Bigfoot sightings. So you picked the right spot. You went out there and you set up your video cameras and I don’t think anyone has a problem with that, it is what you promised and what they got. What has now concerned everybody is that you said that you had one in captivity. Whether it came from her or not, people looked at you Tom as the voice of finding Bigfoot and I think they feel let down. I am sure you will find that out when we go to calls. Are you ready?

Biscardi - Yes, I am ready.

Rob says it really hurts because he was promised a Bigfoot. And Biscardi should have made them send him a picture. Where do we go from here?

Biscardi - We haven’t vacated Happy Camp. We have found prints. We have been having activity there and we are going to carry on. Yes, I was hoodwinked and maybe I was premature, but I really believed. I didn’t know that so many of your listeners have such incredible imaginations.

George - Oh, no don’t turn it around on us and the c2c audience, at all. Don’t do that because I will go right at you for that one.

Biscardi - Well George, you have to…

George - You came on here, you promised that there would be a Bigfoot.

Biscardi - As I was promised

George - Your job was to go out with your internet crew and film and video tape a Bigfoot. It had nothing to do with someone else capturing one 1500 miles away, right? You charged people, God know how much money to get that internet site. You did not promise them until you went on the air to say that you had a Bigfoot. So don’t turn it around and say a c2c listener duped you

Biscardi - They can hear it from the husband on the website.

George - Are you going to refund money?

Biscardi - I am sure if that is how the feeling was, if that is what they want I will stand by that.

At the very end of the hour, George said that anyone who paid to view on Tom's website Friday thinking there was a bigfoot should be refunded and if everyone was not refunded Tom would not be back on the show.

So there you have it. Is this the end of Biscardigate ? Perhaps. We'll know for sure, over time, if and when we hear from Biscardi on Coast again. Stay tuned to binnallofamerica.com as we follow the fallout from Biscardigate.

Once again, huge thanks to Lesley for her yeoman's work in covering this story for BoA.
