Where grainy footage and photography have failed to provide concrete evidence of Bigfoot, DNA might solidify dedicated Sasquatch researchers' beliefs.

According to The New York Daily News, a group of Sasquatch Genome Project researchers tracked a "reddish brown" juvenile Bigfoot and her mother in a Kentucky forest. The group has posted a video of their discovery and also has collected several DNA samples.

"Approximately one hundred and thirteen separate samples of hair, blood, mucus, toenail, bark scrapings, saliva and skin with hair and subcutaneous tissue attached were submitted by dozens of individuals and groups from thirty-four separate hominin collection sites around North America," the group wrote in a report.

The group's footage shows the creature sleeping in the woods, as well as roaming around the woods in a night-vision segment.

Dr. Melba Ketchum, a genetics scientist, lead the five-year study, stressing she wants the scientific community to take it seriously. But her credibility is already being shaken by the labs and universities the group said it has worked with.

According to the report, the group sent samples to 11 different institutions for further examination. The labs include New York University (NYU), University of Texas Southwestern and the North Louisiana Crime Lab (NLCL).

NYU claims to have never worked with Ketchum or received samples from the Sasquatch Genome Project. The NLCL said they did work with Ketchum, but their work only consisted of extracting DNA from bones, which was then sent elsewhere.

Ketchum said this was her intention; that the labs should not know what she says they are looking at.

"They didn't know what they were testing," Ketchum told the Daily News Wednesday. "I have one email from a tester saying 'what have you done, discovered a new species?'"

The group was aided by a $500,000 donation from businessman and Bigfoot enthusiast Adrian Erickson. With that gift, the group was able to analyze the samples themselves, in addition to sending them out.

Ketchum said the samples turned out to be human, but further genome sequencing showed parts of the DNA to be unlike anything ever seen. The research group called it a genetic hybrid that defies what science previously stated about evolution.

Ketchum also combatted speculation of possible contamination of the samples by their collectors.

"If you have a contamination you're going to have one profile overlapping over a second profile," she said. "We do not have that in any samples of the study."
