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.
