David Paulides

[Juan Cena]

David Paulides is back on C2C being interviewed by George Knapp about the missing people in the National Parks. Any thoughts?

I think its a great story to tell.  A lot of questions that won't be answered easily.

If the stories are true they are certainly odd. But Paulides has a background in Bigfoot research and his allusions to speaking with Whitley Streiber recently is worrying. I recall last time he was on and some folks called to tell him it wasn't true that Special Forces helped search for people. In that case a Ranger said that they were called in on some searches if they were on base near the area. Good training also. And this old guy complained that the search areas was already so compromised by inept trackers, volunteers, etc and that could explain lack of trails, evidence, etc. I imagine a search posse made up of lots of volunteers would mess up a scene. And it is easy to miss things in vast areas, or even in small areas. How many bodies are found later in "normal" cases very close to where the women or kid went missing and police had already searched the area? Happens sadly all the time. Take a huge wilderness are and the problems are worse. Odd though about dogs being not willing to search in some cases though that could be a sign of a predator nearby or scent, maybe?

That's where I'm at with Paulides.  Did he know Strieber prior to his 411 books?  Just what exactly is his connection with Strieber?

Yeah, btw I meant Paulides has said that special forces don't search for people but several callers said that they have. I don't mind authors who research and write on different topics. But also, esp on C2C, you can have (on rarer and rarer occasions) a guest who sounds knowledgeable but you research their background and previous works and become highly suspect. It also seems that Paulides is going more too a "paranormal" direction and will end up with a Streiber "solution" to this mystery (if it is a real mystery) and it will be a portal or UFO explanation. In any event I enjoy him as a guest. I also want an update on the missing people on that highway in Nevada (I think Knapp has mentioned it several times.)
