Bigfooter Mike Sells Dies

Bigfooter Michael Monroe Sells died at 1:23 a.m. on Saturday November 10, 2007, at his residence after a long battle with cancer. He was 55 years old.

Mike Sells was an associate of Robert Dominguez and Tom Biscardi. Sells found tracks around his property, and throughout Lamar County, Texas. He was most recently involved with Biscardi’s publicized searching around Paris, Texas.

“Mike was born September 4, 1952 in Cheyenne, Wyoming, a son of Sgt. Henry Monroe and Wanda Yvonne New Sells. He later moved with his family to Wichita Falls, where he completed High School. He attended Midwestern State University and Paris Junior College. Until his illness prevailed he was an electrician for Kimberly-Clark in Paris, but his favorite lifelong avocation was his music. An excellent guitarist and songwriter, he played in numerous bands and enjoyed giving of himself to others by performing in benefit concerts—especially those helping children. A student of archaeology, he had a keen sense of the American Indian and their history as well as a deep knowledge of their artifacts. He enjoyed making bows, arrows and knives and sharing his talents with others. He was a friend of the Ancient Ones.
