Do we have any good, non definitive hoax studies?

Hi all! I’m doing some Sasquatch research, and decided to read through Dr Ketchums paper on Sasquatch DNA. Issue is, it makes little sense. What species would have been the one to cross breed with humans? All other hominid species in the Middle East existed way longer back than 15000 years (with the last one to go extinct in the area, Neanderthals, going extinct nearly 25000 years earlier), and were at best our height, probably a good deal shorter. and how would a species from the Middle East make its way to North America? I could maybe see the Bering sea land bridge. Hell, that’s my theory for how yeti and Sasquatch are related, via a migration across the land bridge by a yeti population, which mostly stayed in the western North America, gradually moving east as it got warmer. But that doesn’t fix the various other issues with the study. So, do we have any good and proper, at least inconclusive studies? Thank you!
