Like.
Anyone so inclined can dismiss anything. That doesn't diminish the value of an actual confession - we can judge it on its merits when it comes out in full. If Travis confesses, will that also have no value to you? The first part of the Phoenix... -

Not hyper compelling by itself, but as you say it fits in with other bits of evidence of greater or lesser... compellingness? It fits into the pattern of what else we know. It's a grain of sand sort of bit of evidence -- but you get enough of...

UPDATE March 2026: Mike Rogers (crew boss) died in February. His daughter Michelle directed me to a Quora post in which she explained he called her to his deathbed and confessed to being part of the Travis Walton hoax. She has since deleted the...

Rogers (and the rest of the crew) started doing the podcast rounds again about 10 years ago because of the release of the documentary Travis. I've got transcripts of lots of those interviews (from when I was researching the TW case) and Rogers...

It's not delusional if he did those things. Crop circles are hoaxes - why can't he be a crop circle hoaxer? He talked in 2022 about meeting crop circlemakers in England in 1994 and going out to try and make his own. (Since this was...

Farmers can be disincentivised against reporting them, as that encourages the making of them, which damages more crops. Sure, there might be a short-term incentive to get the first one on the local news, but I'm sure that excitement wears thin... -

That's not what @John J. is objecting to. He's, and I'm 100% behind him on this, saying that he wouldn't be known for his role in the movie as he didn't have a role in the movie - he was depicted in it. That's A2O. If people familiar with the...

I have a "yeah but"....Yeah but, if he just confessed to Walton's abduction being a hoax, it's 2nd hand, but kinda fits with things he said a few years ago and fits with things people like you and @Charlie Wiser have shared over the years. In...
