I don't buy into any of the supernatural or UFO stuff though.

Such a true justification for ATS's motto, Deny Ignorance, as I've ever seen. I can't imagine how anyone can think themselves aware and yet not be.... Usually, such mindsets quietly fade away from the site these days.
I know, a bit harsh, but as a UFO abductee from 1964 I'm tired of people that cannot accept what is plainly the truth. Cognitive Dissonance is a terrible fault in the animal mind.

I was a huge fan of his; bought all his books and even donated to the creation of his first documentary, which focused heavily on the 'strange' disappearance of DeOrr Kunz here in Idaho.
He made it out to look like another 'other wordly' occurance when it was well known at the time that all of the adults were involved. Both parents failed repeated lie detector tests, and none of the four adults present gave consistant stories. Paulides left out a lot of known facts that pointed strongly to fowl play in order to make an entertaining video.
I felt cheated that he took a case highly suspicious of criminal activity and portrayed it as something unexplainable. Since then, I question how much his 'creative license' plays into leaving out pertinent information, misleading his readers and viewers of his documentaries.
I wonder how many of his other stories have omitted known facts in order to make them fit the paranormal criteria?
S.J. OFFICER ACCUSED OF FALSE SOLICITATION AUTOGRAPHS: A FORCE VETERAN ALLEGEDLY USED CITY STATIONERY TO ASK FOR MEMORABILIA. Author: SANDRA GONZALES, Mercury News Staff Writer
Date: December 21, 1996
Publication: San Jose Mercury News (CA) Page: 1B

When a veteran San Jose police officer began soliciting celebrity autographs on city stationery, he wound up with more than just a friendly letter from singer Lionel Richie to hang on his wall.
He also got an arrest warrant last week charging him with a misdemeanor count of falsely soliciting for charity - a crime for which he could face a year in jail.
Officer David Paul Paulides, 40, aroused suspicions after he was seen using city stationery on the department's computer printers....
Edit- you say all four adults never gave consistent stories are you sure about that? From what I remember the Grandpas friends story never changed at all.
