LAST EDITED ON Sep-08-04 AT 03:33PM (MST)[p]I just received this statement from David Long of Magnum Mulies who states:
Brian,
Popeye's remains were not found. Ed boe picked up his last
set in early January of 1997. At that time, he did not look
to healthy. He did not show the following year, so it is
assumed that he died shortly after shedding. He was indeed
sighted in the high country by one person that I know of.
That person was Mark McCord. Mark took photos of him in
velvet. After those photos came out, several people claimed
that they had seen Popeye, some even claimed to have shot
at him. Most of them, if not all of them, are full of crap.
Mark was the only one with proof.
Dave
