Daniel Perez The Tireless Investigator

Daniel Perez was born and raised in Norwalk, California and became endlessly fascinated by the Bigfoot mystery around 1973 after seeing the pseudo-documentary, "The Legend Of Boggy Creek." This documentary triggered his casual to casually serious, to serious fullfledged involvement in this subject matter. Daniel is a union licensed electrician and has been in that occupation since 1985. In 1992, on the heels of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Patterson-Gimlin film, Daniel authored and published his BIGFOOTIMES-"Bigfoot At Bluff Creek," which is considered by many knowledgeable investigators and researchers as the "bible" on the film. The late Rene Dahinden once said of the work, "It's the best damn thing ever published on the film." Even today, the slender booklet continues to be a highly authoritative account of the film. It has been used and continues to be used by many researchers and was used for facts in the compilation of this compendium. "Bigfoot At Bluff Creek" went through a second printing in 2003 with 8 pages of bibliography added, changing the work from popular literature to a real piece of scholarship. Although Daniel has researched historical and contemporary cases on Bigfoot, he is widely noted for his expertise on the Patterson/Gimlin film-considered by many as the "bedrock of Bigfooting." Daniel holds the unique distinction of having been to more alleged Bigfoot filming locations than anyone in the world. His research has taken him all over the United States, and also to Canada, Mexico, Russia and Australia. Having investigated and researched the Bigfoot mystery for over two decaded now, he is completely satisfied that Bigfoot is a biological reality, far beyond the realm of fancy and mythology. He writes and publishes his monthly newsletter, BIGFOOT TIMES, which is a concise and a factual release. It is a newsletter that addressed areas on the subject matter that other editors simply would not dare to touch. The publication continues to be the leading newsletter in its class. Daniel also authored the 1988 bibliographical work on the subject, "Big Footnotes: A Comprehensive Bibliography Concerning Bigfoot, The Abominable Snowmen and Related Beings," which is now considered a standard and requisite reference in the field. He continues to do "on site" investigations of Bigfoot sighting and footprint finds and has researched cases in British Columbia, Canada and as far east as Ohio. He is considered a nononsense, extremely serious, meticulous and factual researcher in all matters related to Bigfoot studies. Daniel has worked with me and many other researchers on the analysis of the Patterson/Gimlin film, including John Green, the late Rene Dahinden and Dr. Grover Krantz, Dmitri Bayanov and Igor Bourtsev. To the best of our knowledge, Daniel Perez was the first person to acquire longitude/latitude readings along with an elevation reading of the Patterson/ Gimlin film site using GPS technology. It is his opinion that the subject in the film is North America's legendary Sasquatch or Bigfoot creature.
