Late to the party...
Even assuming the source is credible, the flesh and blood sample could have been taken from a human corpse. You wouldn't believe the lengths people go to fool others. Take faith healers, for example. Most of the people who visit such charlatans would never believe how far they actually go to pull off their deception. But put James Randi on the case, and everyone gets to hear the "miracle worker's" wife feeding information into his earpiece.
