• Larry Doil Sanders, 55, of Allen, Oklahoma, was convicted of first-degree murder in the killing of his friend, Jimmy Glenn Knighten, 52, in July 2022. The Ada News reported that Sanders and Knighten were fishing together when Sanders believed he saw three sasquatch-looking figures near the river.
After strangling Knighten, who he thought had been acting suspiciously, Sanders told relatives that he believed Knighten was trying to summon the sasquatches so they could feast on Sanders, and he killed Knighten in self-defense.
Witnesses said Sanders is a regular user of methamphetamine, which ramps up his Bigfoot rhetoric.
His defense was that having used meth three or four days before the murder, he was in a drug-induced psychosis. [The Ada News, 4/17/2024]
