Bluff Creek co-witness whose six-day-post-event radio interview provides an unusually early fixed point in the Patterson–Gimlin record.
The strongest current witness-level anchor is a radio interview six days after the reported encounter. Decades-later recollections are useful only when kept chronologically distinct from this early source.
Only encounter-relevant public biographical context is shown.
Reported filmed encounter involving Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin. The film is a genuine historical artifact; the identity of the filmed subject remains unresolved in the dossier.
Open case →John Green recording / Bigfoot Forums transcript
Six-days-after-event testimony from Gimlin discussing whether he thought the encounter was a gag and his decision not to shoot.

Patterson and Gimlin report the event and surviving film.
Open source/record →Early public reporting documents that the event and film were already being discussed.
Open source/record ↗Recovered early Gimlin testimony six days after the event.
Open source/record ↗Useful later consolidation, not a contemporaneous 1967 source.
Open source/record ↗Roger Patterson is a co-witness to the reported event; Patterson's testimony must be modeled as its own witness/source chain.
The surviving film is linked to the event but is not treated as proof of Gimlin's testimony or of a biological subject.
