REPORT BY: Thomas Steenburg
This is a follow up report from a second witness who was also in the car, B.C. File # 10184. (Tarina Rissanen Interview), This case was brought to my attention by Cliff Barackman, who heard from the first witness when she wrote in a report to his website. The relation ship between the two witnesses is mother and son. This interview was conducted over the phone on April 12, 2013. Devin was in a bit of a hurry as he had another appointment so this interview was not as detailed as the first, but I think I got all the information I needed.
Your name is Devin Robinson correct?
Yep.
You go by Robinson?
Yeah. Its legally Bruce, but I go by Robinson.
What do you do for a living?
I work at my fathers company. I’m a roofer.
Would you state your phone number?
(Answered but withheld from report)
Will you tell me what happened that night, to the best of your memory?
Sure. We were going up the Sayward hill, and I saw something jump across the road, It was really just a nice big blur, I couldn’t really see it, cause it was so quick. Then I was talking to my mom and my girl friend, that was with me in the car and something hit the right hand side of the car, on my side. And we were all concerned, so when we got to our destination, we got out of the car and looked, there were dents on the right side of the, the back right hand side of the car where I was sitting.
It was a 1981 camero?
Yes.
Was there much damage to the back right of the car?
No sir.
What exactly did you see?
I just saw something very fast, blur across, like dart from the right hand in front of the car to the left hand side, across the road in one big movement, and I was looking at the right hand side of the road, it looked like there were some things standing on the side of the road, but I really couldn’t make out, like we were going pretty quick up that hill.
What did they look like to you? That was standing on the right side of the road?
I don’t know, it was just a glance, it looked like they were a bunch of big, like gnormous, (He did say gnormous with a g), looking deer’s, but In dun no, I didn’t really see that big a deer’s in that part, and I’ve grown up in that area.
Did you see those things cross the road as well?
Ah no. They were on the one hand side, they were just standing there, sort of, all in one big group, right.
The subject, who crossed in front of the car, did you get a look at that at all?
No, but it was roughly the same color as the things that were on the side of the road.
What color was that?
Not sure, really dark color, brown?
When your mother cried out, what did she tell at that moment she saw?
She said she saw some sort of eyes, or something? Can’t really remember what she was going off about, but I duno, I told her to calm down, I told her it was just a deer or something. I grew up around there and I know those parts, a lot of wildlife around there.
So you did not see what she was talking about?
No. I did not see the red eyes or anything.
Your girl friend at the time was in the car to?
Yep, she was on the left hand side, sitting beside me.
Did she see anything?
She did not see anything, but she as well heard the big thump.
In your opinion Devin, what do you think they were?
Ah, just for what I be leave, I think they were deer, because I duno, I have never seen like a Bigfoot or anything like that, I never seen a gnormous creature that would do something like that, they were just standing there, that’s a little bit of a weird behavior, so I duno, in my opinion I think it was a deer, but I never seen a deer jump across the road that quick in my life, I’ve seen a cougar do that.
So you are of the opinion that what you guys encountered that night was NOT Sasquatch?
I’m pretty sure it wasn’t, because I’ve been around those parts before, but I’ve seen stuff move pretty quick across the road, I’ve seen a cougar move that quick, that was one of the only things I’ve seen move that quick before. It was fairly big. (Referring to the object that crossed in front of the car).
How big do you think they were?
We were driving in the 81 camero, and it came up to about, just about as tall as the top of the windshield. About as tall as the car. That was when it was motoring across in the front, cause I was looking out the front at the road and this big like brown streak, quickly go across.
What you were looking at was on four legs?
I’m pretty sure, yeah. It was ether on four legs or in the middle of jumping inhumanly. (Laughs)
What was the weather like?
I can’t really recall, but I am pretty sure it was wet and stormy out. Driving conditions weren’t very well.
Do you recall the date this happened?
It was last year sometime. Octoberish or something?
Do you still have the same girlfriend you had at the time? (Jessica)
Yep.
Does she still say she didn’t see anything?
Yep. Were convinced something hit the car though,
How long after the sighting was the car hit?
Around ah, a few minutes, 3 minutes? The thing darted across, me and my mother were talking about it, I was trying to keep her calm and what not, she was really freaked, and something on the right hand side smoked the car, and she said she was going to pull over and look, and I started to freak, yeah that’s the one thing you don’t do, you hear something hit your car, and the car is still able to go, you keep going. You don’t pull out.
When you and your mother were talking, did she say she thought she saw a Sasquatch?
She said she was concerned, and that it was something she had never seen in this world before and she was concerned. She was defiantly shaken; she could barley keep her hands on the steering wheel. I’ve seen a couple of pretty big cougars, there’s some big kitties around here. I’ve seen bear taller than our car before.
Your mother mentioned when I talked with her, you thought that what you saw were moose or caribou, but you say deer, which do you think it could have been?
I’m pretty sure they were deer or larger variety of animal, or something bigger than, a deer so yeah, something like a moose or something like that But when it jumped across in the windshield, it filled the windshield, a big brown streak.
So as far as you are concerned what you guys saw that not was Not Sasquatch?
I’m pretty sure it was not a Sasquatch. Other wise I would still be crapping my pants thinking about it. (Laughs).
Devin, thank you for talking with me.
No problem
Devin had to leave at this point so I concluded this interview and I think I can say with confidence that his mother certainly did not try to coach or influence him in any way during the 24-hour period between the two interviews. Now I can list a large number of contradictions here but one point stands out in my mind. He did not see the one subject close up outside the driver’s side window as his mother claimed. Nor did she see the three or four subjects on the passenger side of the road that he claimed. Also his view of the subject dashing across the road in front of the car was most likely not as good as his mothers in the driving seat, though she to claims at this point it was more of a sudden blur as well. So we have two witnesses here who are convinced about what they encountered. Tarina is sure the one figure she saw close up was a Sasquatch. Devin is sure that the number of figures he saw were animals of the deer or moose variety. I am sure that they encountered something and this is not some hoax story being passed along for whatever reason. I am still convinced that whatever caused the loud bang against the car was most likely some object they ran over while driving and talking, not really watching what was on the road.
