Robert AM Stephens Has Died
I just received the following fax attached to an email from an anonymous
source. This material has not been confirmed:
Robert A.M. Stephens, who showed up on the UFOlogy scene about one year
ago, made quite a stir in many UFOlogy camps, including late night talk
show host Art Bell.
Stephens made a very brief appearance on the Bell show in late December of
1998. Mr. Stephens was to debate a regular guest of Mr. Bells', Richard C
Hoagland. For some unknown reason, Mr. Stephens was cut off from the show
by Mr. Bell.
Apparently intensely angered by this, Mr. Stephens then created a website
called "Behold" and "Shady Pines", depicting many of the mainstream
"UFOlogists" including Art Bell as "guests" of a fictitious insane asylum.
Following a nearly fatal illness and legal action against him by Art Bell,
Mr. Stephens has disappeared from the UFOlogy scene.
Rest in peace, Robert Stephens....

was told that there have been no recent news stories, or obituaries, on
Robert Stephens.

At face value I automatically questioned the authenticity of such a
claim. And I'm glad my suspicions were confirmed.
No mention of the alleged suicide was ever posted on Art Bell's main web
site. Also I noticed that several messages posted in the "REAP" message
board (http://disc.server.com/Indices/57810.html) dated Oct 21, 1999,
were posted in Stephens' name. References are as follows:
http://disc.server.com/discussion.cgi?id=57810&article=13994

http://disc.server.com/discussion.cgi?id=57810&article=13988
http://disc.server.com/discussion.cgi?id=57810&article=13993
Furthermore, none of the newspapers based in Montana listed RAMS' name
in the obituaries. The Lake County Leader (http://leaderadvertiser.com)
in Polson, and The Missoulan (http://www.missoulian.com) would have at
least mentioned RAMS' name in their publications. Because Stephens'
home town of St. Ignatius is located within distance between Polson and
Missoula, and because he has made numerous headlines there because of
his feud with Art Bell, his name would have graced the front page.
The irony is that the date of this latest rumor coincides with the 30th
anniversary of the urban legend surrounding the death of then-Beatle
Paul McCartney.

Well I checked, and he's confirmed it himself at "Hazy Reports".
It looks like Art drove him to suicide.
Add one more to the Art Bell Body Count.
