Daylight Texas motorist witness whose transcript gives a precise date, time and route and documents the witness’s changing attempts to identify the distant figure conventionally.
Central Texas resident and professional truck driver at the time of the encounter.
Lankford reported seeing a dark figure at about 9:35 AM while driving an 18-wheeler south on Highway 84. He initially interpreted it as a black bull, then a large hog, then a man in dark clothing before concluding it did not match those explanations. The 2026 interview also discusses a later May 2026 sighting, which is not merged into the 2019 event.
Open case →In a September 20, 2026 Sasquatch Odyssey interview, Lankford described additional 2026 field activity: an April 19 handprint claim, a May 17 sighting, and a September 6 growl/heavy-breathing event. He also discussed possible future testing of material associated with the handprint. These reports remain a separate later chronology and do not alter the May 20, 2019 Highway 84 event.
