A missing 6 foot tall Sasquatch statue has been found in Avery County, after being reported stolen in August.
The statue, reported stolen from Mountaineer Landscaping in Linville on August 24, was discovered on October 16.
According to the Avery County Sheriff's Office, “A very alert young man “Mike” notified the Avery Sheriff’s that he had saw and located Sasquatch in the Edgemont Community. We feel since Sasquatch seemed unharmed and released in such a remote area, the thieves either had a change of heart or found that having a Sasquatch was just more difficult than they thought. Our deepest appreciation to Mike for the information.”
The Sheriff's Office went on to say, “Until determination is made as to where Sasquatch final location will be, he will live at the Sheriff’s Office under the watch of a security camera. We have been informed that insurance has paid the original owner so a determination will be made by the insurance company in the near future.”
