I believe Bob Heironimus was Patty. I don't believe Philip Morris had anything to do with the suit. I don't expect Bob Heironimus to have ever had intimate knowledge of all the circumstances involved before he got into the suit nor do I expect him to have a perfect recollection of the details he did know near 40 years later. I don't expect a person who is engineering a hoax for profit and gain to stop and explain every part of his plan to each person he involves in that plan.
I know Bob Heironimus had connections to Patterson and Gimlin unlike the notion that footers wanted us to believe that he was just some random crazy guy looking for attention decades later. I know Gimlin and Heironimus were and still are good friends. I know Heironimus lives on the same street as Gimlin. I know it makes zero sense to implicate yourself and your friend and neighbour in a hoax when that friend and neighbour could take you to court or at the least walk over to your house and pop you in the nose and take back the lawn mower he lent you for calling him a liar. I know Gimlin won't take Heironimus to court and I know he has declined invitations to do public interviews with Heironimus.
I know Heironimus appears in footage for Patterson's film 'Bigfoot - America's Abominable Snowman' in May 1967 in what appears to be Yakima riding on Chico, leading another horse, and being followed by Jerry Merrit. I know that Gimlin was riding Heironimus' horse at Bluff Creek and didn't say anything until it was discovered and put to him long after he had a chance to say that Heironimus did have some connection to Bluff Creek. I know that Patterson appears on Heironimus' horse beside a wig wearing Bob Gimlin on the cover of Argosy magazine.
I know that Patterson was a talented performer and had connections in Hollywood. I know that Patterson had representation by Hollywood entertainment lawyer Walter Hurst that was paid for by George Radford. I know on May 26th, 1967 Roger Patterson signed a contract with George and Vilma Radford to receive $700.00 for expenses related to his film.
Here is that contract:

I know that during this time Patterson had made trips to Los Angeles and had stayed with musician Gene Vincent and old friend actor Ross Hagen who did vocals for Patterson's Bigfoot calls for his film. I know that Patterson would have us believe that during all these activites of his he was actually insanely lucky enough to film a real Bigfoot while looking for one, a feat not achieved since after 40 years of concerted effort and searching with ever greater and more advanced technologies and man power. I know that Patterson would have us believe that he filmed a female Bigfoot with prominent hairy breasts yet amazingly he had drawn a detailed illustration of just such a creature in a his Bigfoot book published just the year before. I know this picture was inspired by the alleged William Roe encounter of just such a creature, the account of which is accompanied by an illustration by Roe's daughter. I know that the PGF plays very much like a visualization of the William Roe encounter.
I know that we are at a point where denying Heironimus' involvement is so unrealistic that even Bigfoot enthusiasts and PGF students who have spent years defending the film are now putting forth theories that have Patterson putting Heironimus in a suit though not being the subject of the PGF.
Here is pseudo-intellectual Roger Knight advancing just such a scenario:

I know that there are serious discrepancies regarding the timeline of the film being sent for development. I know that Roger explained that when he first encountered the creature his horse reared and fell, pinning him. I know he produced a bent stirrup as proof of this. I know that later we were told that he slipped off the back of his horse extracating his camera one-handed and unharmed. I know that Patterson had a penchant for illusion and deception as evidenced by his insisting Gimlin wear a hokey native wig and introducing him as an Indian tracker. I know that there is no original film for people to examine is available and that copies that are show evidence of tampering in the form of splicing.
I know that people like yourself, Lu, have created a system where a lack of reliable evidence and faulty details are excused if it allows you to perpetuate your belief system. I know that you are a propononent of the reality of the Minnesota Iceman yet now don't have much to say when that classic gaff was just recently revealed to be a hoax by Verne Langdon who was central in the events that lead to it's creation. What would you like on your crow?
I know that it is just a matter of time now and much sooner than many people think before the facts of the Patterson/Gimlin hoax are revealed. I know that people who continue to defend the film's veracity such as yourself and Sweaty do so with an almost unsettling will and investment to believe. I know that in years to come that the PG hoax will be used to educate people in the perpetuation of belief systems.
I know that 2008 is a very embarrassing year to be a Bigfoot enthusiast.
