Very sad news indeed. Just checked the forum for the first time in months... when I scanned down the thread titles I couldn't believe it. Still can't and will be dazed and disturbed for days and weeks over this. I never spoke to the guy or met him. Just years of listening and hanging on to his every word I guess.

Chris was a fascinating individual with many important stories to tell. (One of which that sticks in my mind was when, on a more recent guest appearance he made, he recounted when covert authorities of some kind broke into his place and stole all his maps and info that was mapping the mutilation cases etc,. )

The other crucial and irreplaceable loss will be the Ray Stanford files: The countless hours of video Chris made documenting the never seen film footage of Ray Stanford. (Footage and files that will certainly be lost when Ray passes due to Ray's apparent, in my opinion, "selfish clinging on to it" and having no heir or successor or archive ready to take it etc,.) So the heroic effort Chris made in getting as close to Ray as possible and trying to document the, apparently, extraordinary film footage in his possession... are all lost and gone forever too?

And so close to the passing of David Biedny as well. Both were sort of these mythical pillars of sanity and hope in my world view of the paranormal investigator field.
