Bigfoot Researcher Dies In Tragic Accident
Posted by: Loren Coleman on August 18th, 2006
Jason Valenti and Star Sams are well-known Bigfoot researchers in Washington State. Many of us got to meet them for the first time after Jason decided to organize the Sasquatch Research Conference held at Bellingham, Washington, on May 27-29, 2005. The event was successfully hosted by Jason Valenti and Star Sams, along with assistance from Paul Smith and others. I was happy to be one of their guests and speak at the gathering.
Sadly, the terrible news has reached Cryptomundo that Jason’s wife, Star, has died in a car crash on August 15, 2006. Our deepest empathy and sympathy to Jason, his and Star’s family and friends. This is shocking.

Woman dies in crash on Chuckanut
SUV goes over cliff near county line
A Bellingham woman died Wednesday evening when her car plunged off the side of Chuckanut Drive, according to the Washington State Patrol.
Star C. Sams, 37, was driving her sport utility vehicle south on Chuckanut near the Whatcom County line with Skagit County about 7:30 p.m.
Near the Clayton Beach trailhead, where the road curves to the left, her vehicle didn’t make the turn.
Instead it went right, traveling off the road and down the cliff, according to the State Patrol.
Rescuers made their way to the car but found Sams already dead. No one else was in the vehicle.

Chuckanut Drive is a winding narrow road on the side of a cliff. At that time of evening, there might have been sun glare that made it hard to see (I’d have to go see the exact spot to be sure).
I drove up and down that road a lot when I went to school in Bellingham, and it’s not what I’d call a safe drive. I’ve nearly lost control on curves along that road when I was certain I was going slow enough. Just a moment of inattention, or a bit of glare from the sun, would be enough.
My sympathies to Jason. It could’ve just as easily been me or one of my friends.
Oh my, this is very sad news indeed. My deepest sympathies go to Mr.Valenti.
This is very sad. My prayers to the family.
Very sad. My condolence to the family and friends
My condolences to Star’s family and friends…Sasquatchery loses a brilliant evening Star…God Bless.
all the best…

I’m very sorry to hear this. Though I’ve never met anyone involved, my heart goes out to the family and friends. Stan
My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends. 37 is just far too young.
ALL accidents and fires are “tragic”. This is sad and unfortunate indeed.
My thoughts & prayers go to families of star. She is in heaven now watching over us.
My condolences to the family and friends.
i am sad for every life lost anywhere.
the very same fits for her dead,
i am sad about her and
i wished it didnt happen.
Quite sad.
