A Crestline woman sued the state of California last month, saying the Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Natural Resources Agency have been derelict in duty by not recognizing the existence of Sasquatch. Claudia Ackley claims to have seen a Sasquatch several times, including last March while hiking at Lake Arrowhead with her daughters.
