Too Damned Dumb to Live

A redneck's last words?  "Here, hold my beer, now..  watch this."

44-year old Randy Lee Tenley of Montana apparently got himself liquored up and set out to fool people into believing he was Bigfoot.

Tenley donned a sniper "Ghillie" suit and then stood out in the highway where he encountered the first car that struck him.   A second car hit old Randy Lee as he lay in the roadway.

Trooper Jim Schneider said his motives were ascertained during interviews with friends, and alcohol may have been a factor but investigators were awaiting tests.
 
“He was trying to make people think he was Sasquatch so people would call in a Sasquatch sighting,” Schneider told the Daily Inter Lake newspaper on Monday. “You can’t make it up. I haven’t seen or heard of anything like this before. Obviously, his suit made it difficult for people to see him.”

Ghillie suits are a type of full-body clothing made to resemble heavy foliage and used to camouflage military snipers.



“He probably would not have been very easy to see at all,” Schneider told KECI-TV.

Tenley was struck by vehicles driven by two girls, ages 15 and 17, who were unable to stop in time, authorities said.
