Posted by: Loren Coleman on November 13th, 2007
Mike Sells, his wife Sandy, and Tom Biscardi.
Bigfooter Michael Monroe Sells died at 1:23 a.m. on Saturday November 10, 2007, at his residence after a long battle with cancer. He was 55 years old.
Mike Sells was an associate of Robert Dominguez and Tom Biscardi. Sells found tracks around his property, and throughout Lamar County, Texas. He was most recently involved with Biscardi’s publicized searching around Paris, Texas.
From his memorial tribute, this information is shared:
“Mike was born September 4, 1952 in Cheyenne, Wyoming, a son of Sgt. Henry Monroe and Wanda Yvonne New Sells. He later moved with his family to Wichita Falls, where he completed High School. He attended Midwestern State University and Paris Junior College. Until his illness prevailed he was an electrician for Kimberly-Clark in Paris, but his favorite lifelong avocation was his music. An excellent guitarist and songwriter, he played in numerous bands and enjoyed giving of himself to others by performing in benefit concerts—especially those helping children. A student of archaeology, he had a keen sense of the American Indian and their history as well as a deep knowledge of their artifacts. He enjoyed making bows, arrows and knives and sharing his talents with others. He was a friend of the Ancient Ones.
On August 5, 1975 he married Sandra Kay Kampstra in Dalton, Wisconsin.”

This is sad, my condolences to his family. Is it just me or does there seem to be some kind of weird curse on alot of people who search for cryptids? Patterson, Krantz, Greenwell. Not to mention people still with us (thankfully) who have been seriously ill (Green, Godfrey, to name a few). Loren, can you enlighten me, or am I reaching too far?
