Reno-Skunkape Connection Revealed!
Documents Prove Reno and Skunkape Lifetime Companions

The Corky Report has obtained official documents that prove there is a link between the Florida Skunkape and former Attorney General Janet Reno. According to newly released documents Janet Reno has had an on-going relationship with the Florida Skunkape for nearly 24 years and they recently attempted to get married in Vermont. Click here for Part I of this amazing story.

Part II

The Relationship Begins

MIAMI, FL - As stated in Part 1 of our 3 part series, current local legend would leave us to believe that Reno somehow killed and ate the Florida Skunkape. However the
Corky Report believes it has uncovered a series of documents that prove these rumors to be untrue. Our investigation proves that not only did the residents of the area know the Skunkape was alive, they also knew of the Reno-Skunkape relationship and may have took steps to prevent the relationship from continuing.

According to the following article from the South Dade News Leader steps to prevent a human/skunkape relationship started to surface as early as October of 1977.

The South Dade News Leader dated Oct. 1977.

Skunk Ape Recognized in the Courts

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) A bill making it illegal to molest a skunkape has been passed by a legislative committee as a lawmaker renews his effort to protect the legendary anthropoid. The Criminal Justice Committee passed the bill (HB58) by Rep. Paul Nuckolls, R-Fort Myers, Tuesday after Nuckolls unveiled it for the second year in a row. Last session, the bill passed committee but never reached the floor.

The bill to protect the Skunkape (HB58) was never passed. Some believe this bill was killed by Reno and was just a precursor to her behavior as Attorney General, however these allegations where never made to stick.

The next document uncovered by the Corky Report is truly amazing. While searching marriage records in the State of Florida, The Corky Report stumbled upon what appears to be a copy of a marriage certificate with the names, Reno and Skunkape. The date on the document is March 21,1979 and the document contains the official Florida seal. The Corky Report has included a copy of this document as part of this report so other media sources can review it, however at this time The Corky Report can not verify the document's authenticity.

The Marriage of a Skunkape and a human would seem to violate Florida law, however experts contacted by The Corky Report had a different opinion. 

Gary Beaverton of Beaverton, Barry and Bush said, "While some may argue that a human can not marry outside their species there is some question as too what Janet Reno is. Reno could have claimed at the time that she too is a member of the Skunkape species and it would be very difficult to argue with her on that point. I mean, just look at her. Personally I think the Skunkape could have done better, but who am I to pass judgment."

We could not find any actual lawyers that where willing to talk to The Corky Report on this subject, however we believe if they did talk to us they would have agreed with the statements made within this article. 

Hidden Relationship Takes it Toll

In late 1978 Janet Reno was appointed as the state attorney for Dade County, Florida by then governor Reubin Askew. This was Reno's dream job and she couldn't risk letting anyone know of her relationship with the Skunkape. Needing to cover-up her relationship Reno moved to Miami and left her lifetime partner back in the Everglades. In addition she used her new found powers to have the Reno/Skunkape Marriage wiped from the books. Everything was going good for Reno, but the same could not be said the Skunkape that was left behind.

Back in the Everglades reports of the Skunkape died down, but a new sighting began to appear. Even though Reno was living in Miami people in the Everglades started telling stories about a 7 foot-tall Janet Reno look-a-like that would only appear during the evening. While locals dismissed the sightings as mistaken identity The Corky Report has information that could explain these sightings. 

According to newly obtained information, The Corky Report has reason to believe these sightings where actually the Florida Skunkape dressed up like Janet Reno. Sources close to Reno at the time tell stories about how Reno use to dress up like a monkey and run around her house, so it would only stand to reason that Reno would have taught the Skunkape to dress up like her, possibly as part of some sick sex game. While we can not verify this information to be true, it is distributing. 

Reno would come back to her Everglades home every weekend during her time as state attorney for Dade County, but her time away from her companion took it's toll on their relationship and caused a lot of stress that would persist for the next 16 years. But things would get even wilder for this couple on the wild side.

In part 3 of our 3 part series we will discuss the move of Reno and the Skunkape to Washington DC and some never before released information on the Skunkape's involvement in Waco, Oklahoma City and how the Skunkape raised over 2 million dollars for the Democratic party in oversea trips to China.
