About this episode
David Zigan discusses his forensic approach to Bigfoot investigations.
In this installment of Sasquatch Tracks , the team is joined by David Zigan, a veteran investigator with over two decades of experience as a certified peace officer in Georgia, currently working in a Crime Scene Investigations Unit near Atlanta. A graduate of the National Forensic Academy, Zigan holds certifications in latent fingerprint examination and crime scene reconstruction, and has testified as an expert witness in numerous criminal cases. His forensic specialties include bloodstain pattern analysis, shooting incident reconstruction, and advanced fingerprint processing, which he has also taught as an adjunct instructor at the academy. Now turning his attention to Bigfoot research, Zigan brings a scientific rigor rarely seen in the field. By applying his forensic background—particularly in dermal ridge analysis and evidence handling—he seeks to elevate the credibility of Sasquatch investigations. Through education and methodical analysis of physical evidence such as footprint casts, Zigan is helping bridge the gap between mainstream forensic science and cryptozoological inquiry.
