Cain is really Bigfoot: Oh yeah, and he lives in the Wasatch Mountains. Purely conjecture. This stems from a story on pages 127-128 of Spencer W. Kimball's "Miracle of Forgiveness," in which an early LDS apostle, David W. Patten, meets a strange, dark, tall and hairy man who identifies himself as the original Cain from the Book of Genesis. The Bigfoot/Cain idea originated in 1980 following apparent Bigfoot sightings in South Weber.
