(AP) -- A monkey suit purported to be the corpse of Bigfoot is drawing more than $200,000 on eBay.

The suit was at the center of a hoax cooked up by a former Clayton County police officer Matt Whitton and his friend, Rick
Dyer.  The two held a news conference in August in California with Searching for Bigfoot Inc. director Tom Biscardi, toting photos of the suit and DNA results to prove they had killed the legendary man-ape in the north Georgia mountains.  Eaton, Ind., resident William Lett, who gave Biscardi $50,000 to buy the alleged corpse, is trying to recoup his losses by selling
the suit.  He's getting help from the Asheville, N.C.,-based Shadowbox Enterprises, owned by paranormal researcher Joshua P. Warren, who will keep profits made from the sale.

Bidding on the suit closes at midnight Thursday.
