These photos were taken by David Shealy; 3 of the negatives were given to me (Diane Stocking).
Between 1997 and 2000, Shealy produced pictures and video of alleged Skunk Ape from the
Everglades.

After traveling to Ochopee many times, I had determined that anything happening in this area are hoaxes perpetrated by David, and probably his brother. Their agenda seemed obvious; getting tourists into their Gift Shop and Campsite, located in Ochopee. David seems to need attention.....This from one of his employees, "If there is a camera around, David will be in front of it".

At one point, Shealy approached Collier County Commissioners attempting to obtain $45,000.00 for an expedition into the Everglades. The expedition, according to Shealy, would guarantee the capture of a Skunk Ape. The Commissioners turned him down.
