Possible daylight sighting near Missouri River and Katy Trail outside Hartsburg

On a sunny late morning the witness was driving slowly south on a rural road south of town. He saw a large upright figure crossing ahead, coming from the direction of the river and heading toward the bluffs. The figure walked very quickly with long strides and swinging arms across an open planted field. The witness followed briefly by vehicle but remained about 100 yards away before the figure disappeared into woods after about one to two minutes.

6:30am sighting by two hunters driving 100 yds south of Cooper's Landing

The witness was driving with a relative on a river road in early morning light when a large, black, soaking-wet creature jumped from the river side onto the road in front of them. The creature then leapt up the bluff on the opposite side and disappeared without sound. The witnesses stopped, looked for it briefly, then continued to their hunting area after a short discussion.

Recollection of a daytime bike path crossing in front of three youths near Columbia

Three children walking and biking on a wooded bike path near a lake in the afternoon watched a thin grey-haired biped step out of the woods, cross the path, and enter the woods on the other side. The creature did not look at them, vocalize, or act threateningly, and the sighting lasted only seconds. The witnesses then ran back to a house, scared.
