Jeffrey Meldrum, a tenured professor of anatomy at Idaho State University, is an academic outcast on campus.
Why? Because Jeffrey Meldrum is the world's foremost authority on Bigfoot:
Meldrum, 48, spends most of his days in his laboratory in the Life Sciences Building, analyzing more than 200 jumbo plaster casts of what he contends are Bigfoot footprints.
For the past 10 years, he has added his scholarly sounding research to a field full of sham videos and supermarket tabloid exposes. And he is convinced he has produced a body of evidence that proves there is a Bigfoot.
