I have to admit that on hearing the following I was cheerfully expectant. However, things seem to have gotten more confused and I have to wonder if something fishy is going on. The 24/7 Bigfoot Evidence site published the following:

If you haven't "friended" her yet, we suggest that you become her best friend, otherwise, you can always come back here for the latest updates regarding what is possibly the greatest biological discovery of our time. It's either that, or she's just pulling our legs.

Description of
Work: A film and/or documentary, narration or audio book, supporting photos and
literary paper/document/book that will follow the The Sasquatch Project, the
scientist and the scientific testing and proof for the existence of Sasquatch/
Bigfoot. Information will include discussion of results including A New Tribe
of Living Humans, the complete Sasquatch mitochondrial genome sequence and
nuclear DNA variations and text will show complete mitochondrial (mt) genome
sequences were identified from DNA, analysis of the assembled sequence
unequivocally establishes that the Sasquatch mtDNA falls inside the range of
modern human mtDNAs and discussions of the origins thereof. The proof that the
Sasquatch is not only the closest living human relative but is actually a
contemporary living human. Also discussed is nuclear DNA testing performed on
the same samples and the variations found in various genes including MC1R gene
RUNX2 and FOXP2 as well as other targets genes involved in the perception of sound,
transmission of nerve signals, the production of sperm and the lactase gene.
Also discussed is how testing has ruled out ape cross and any ancient
contributor and that Sasquatch is indeed a modern human with some genetic
mutations accounting for their physical appearance. Also included are
discussion of the history of samples and circumstances surrounding the
acquisition, their testing, the circumstances surrounding the entire Sasquatch
DNA Project. Documentary stars Melba Ketchum, et al

Update: Dr. Melba Ketchum Makes A Statement Regarding The
Proposed Media Project
"To address the recent hype and misstatements concerning my
paper, please be advised that the information pulled off the US Copyright
website for a 2010 preregistration for a proposed media project is not an
accurate summary of our scientific testing and data and does not reflect the
current conclusions of our scientific paper. The contemplated media project was
never produced and no update was ever made to the short description on the
preregistration statement. Instead of working on proposed media projects, we
have been focusing our time and energy on our ongoing scientific testing and
data which will be accurately summarized in the final version of our scientific
paper. The final paper presenting our data, analysis and updated conclusions
will be published in a peer reviewed scientific journal but we do not have a
publication date at this time."
