Have any of you met anyone featured on Unsolved Mysteries?

[BlunderbussDeath]

I met Budd Hopkins who was featured in the missing time/alien abduction segment.

I actually ended up throwing a glass of wine in his face after he insulted my paintings because I painted in the style of Jackson Pollock and I'm pretty sure now that he hated Pollock and was jealous of him. He also came off like a total crackpot and his art style was terrible.

So that's my story of meeting someone from Unsolved Mysteries. I wonder if any of you will top that one

I hope Budd Hopkins reads this someday possibly.....

Really? WHOA! Hahaha, he seemed so chill in the interview, but if he openly insulted your art, I can't blame you.

Closest I ever got was meeting a friend (my first cousin once removed) of Bobbi Parker's who was there behind the scenes as UM filmed, worked in the prison, and knew Dial and Randy as well. She told me how nice the crew was and how she'd help them organize the Parker home neatly for filming the reenactments.

Closest I ever came was I used to be friends with a woman who went to a support group for children who were given up for adoption. This woman was in the group with the hatbox baby Lady from unsolved mysteries.

I had a 5 or so minute telephone conversation with Bob Oechsler a year or two after the "Guardian" story aired on UM and Sightings.

My father and I went to see James Van Pragh (sp?) give a lecture about ten years ago. He did readings for several people in the audience.

The Bud Hopkins story is pretty cool, I must say. I remember Stack mentioning on UM that Hopkins was an artist.

I think I found that Deloris Brooks on a social networking site once. She's the black girl who wanted to find her music teacher, Madeline Strauss. I happened to be watching that case and something just told me to look them both up and see if I could "reunite" them. I know I probably shouldn't have bothered, but I thought it'd be cool to help. The lady looked like Deloris and was around the age she would be today. Unfortunately, she never replied back to my message even though I saw activity on her account since I last left that one message. The other lady I thought was Madeline also never replied back...*sigh*.

Yeah Hopkins is a terrible artist so it's no wonder that he's more into spreading crackpot theories on alien abduction. His class was such a waste of my time and money so I think I was right in what I did especially after he insulted my paintings.

I knew Craig Walker, slightly, he was on the last series of "new" episodes. He had kidnapped his children and taken them to Brazil. They were there for 2 or 3 years, but fortunately were found before the episode actually aired. Probably why I've never seen it discussed here...

I knew him way before he was married or had kids. I thought he was weird, but I was really shocked that he kidnapped his own kids away from their mom.

To the OP, you actually threw a glass of wine in Budd's face because he insulted your paintings? Ha, that just made my day

I've seen Resurrection Mary a few times but never actually talked to her.

not in person,but I talked to Claudia's (can't recall her last name now) father back in 2000 online,when he was looking into her disappearance from the Jamaican resort and was rallying all the support he could find.I came across him on an aol travel message board (caribbean one).He was very upset,of course, and it's very sad and I do wish they could find out something about her.

thank you
I recall from the board there that after that segment aired,we all assumed the bartender did it and the resort covered it up to protect their name.I know no one wanted to go to that particular chain for awhile (not sure I can mention the name here),none of them,because they rotate staff.So that employee could have been at any of them,on a different island or location.And I still wouldn't go there.
