Finally, at the end of a year, my wife is divorcing me.

I now have only 50% custody.

I have 50% of my life open to do whatever I want.

They came at me again.

I said, okay, I'm going to shorten it down from what took five years to five minutes.

Tennessee, Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

There was a man there named Scott Carpenter.

Scott, rest his soul, has since died.

But he took me into an area in the park.

And he said, Dave, this is the part where I've had all kinds of evidence.

Footprints, hair.

hair hair so has he ever had the hair analyzed okay so we start talking about it how can we get a good sample of hair so i said you know with bear they take bear samples and dna samples from bear all the time let's try this let's take some packaging tape wrap it inside out on the outside of a tree

put something at the fork of the tree, some kind of food, whatever, honey, something.

If they lean up against the tree, it's going to pull the hair out, which we need the follicle for the DNA.

Let's see if that works.

She says, Brian, we did it.

It worked.

In that area, we had tracks.

Now, just so you know and everyone else knows, there's hair and fiber experts in the world, and they testify in Superior Court all the time.

Like out in the lobby, you have all these different kinds of animals.
