Jimmy Chilcutt is a fingerprint expert witness, formerly of the Conroe Police Department, Texas. Before retiring from police work, he accumulated eighteen years as a latent fingerprint examiner and crime scene investigator. He holds a Master Police Officer Certification from the State of Texas.
Chilcutt rose to prominence in the world of bigfoot research after watching Jeff Meldrum mention dermal ridges on a TV documentary. Chilcutt contacted Melrum and arranged to examine a number of plaster casts of alleged bigfoot footprints at Idaho State University, after which Chilcutt declared that they were of an unknown primate.
In 2003, Chilcutt gave a presentation at the International Bigfoot Symposium in Willow Creek, California, and subsequently told the British Broadcasting Corporation, "I know there's an animal out there, because I've seen the physical evidence."[1]
In 2005, some of Chilcutt's conclusions were called into question by the work of Matt Crowley who showed that, under certain circumstances, casting artifacts can resemble the dermal ridge details observed in some purported sasquatch track casts.
