David Paulides holds two degrees from the University of San Francisco and has a professional background that includes twenty years in law enforcement and senior executive positions in technology. David is now the director of the CanAm Missing Project (www.canammissing.com).

David received information from National Park Rangers that led to him researching missing people; this evolved into national forests, BLM, and open spaces and forming a research team that has reviewed over 10,000 cases. The investigation led to the publication of twelve books about unusual disappearances with matching profile points. This ground-breaking investigation led to the discovery of 74 geographical clusters of missing people in North America, the most significant being Yosemite National Park. David has authored the best-selling series of books on missing people, all titled, Missing 411. 

​

One of David’s hobbies that started him down the path of researching and writing was studying bigfoot. His first book (2008) that Hancock House Published, The Hoopa Project. The book emanated from a two-year study on the Hoopa Reservation in Northern California. An FBI-trained forensic artist was used to interview eyewitnesses to a sighting and draw what the witness observed. The result was a stunning story and pictorial of a biped that few people have ever seen. He followed that with “Tribal Bigfoot” and Bigfoot, Wild Men, and Giants, published in 2019.

David has been on countless radio and television shows and has made his missing person presentation at MUFON chapters across the United States and Australia. David is also the Executive Producer of a two-hour special about his missing person work that aired in January 2019 on the History Channel, titled, Vanished.

Entity Voices Paranormal Investigations ITC Researcher- Currently developing Staticom 3.0 

Tony Rathman is the founder and lead investigator of Entity Voices Paranormal Investigations (EVPI) located in Phoenix Arizona and has spent the last 15 years fascinated with Instrumental trans Communication research and building spirit boxes to discovering the truths about spirits, entities, and life after death. 

Tony specializes in spirit communication through both EVP and ITC (Instrumental Trans Communication) and today focuses on the ground breaking technology called STATICOM derived from the European methodology of ITC known as DRV: DIRECT RADIO VOICE which through the removal of the radio and the slowing down of live white noise has evolved into what is now called “Staticom” - producing anomalous vocals out of pure white noise. Arguably the closest thing to Thomas Edison’s “Phone to the Dead." 

Tony has also produced the docuseries called “Knowingly Talking to the Unknown” outlining the steps and thought process that lead to Staticom, free to view on ParaFlixx. He has also been featured in Sound of the Dead EVP, Life After, Why Do You Want to Believe Knowingly, and other documentaries.
