'COPS' Producer Feared Dead After Falling PORTLAND, Ore. - The creator of the long-running reality television series "COPS" fell 300 feet from an Oregon cliff into the Pacific Ocean and was feared dead, police and the Coast Guard said Sunday. Paul Stojanovich, 47, and his fiancee Kim Srowel were hiking Saturday at Treasures Cove, a bluff overlooking the ocean, when he slipped while stopping to pose for a picture, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Jamie Desanno. Stojanovich grabbed a tree limb to break his fall but plummeted into the surf below, said Sgt. Mike Zimmerman of the Tillamook County Sheriff's Office. The waves were 14 to 16 feet at the time, and rain over the past week had left the trail slippery and wet. Officers searched for three hours after Srowel called 911, but they didn't find any sign of Stojanovich, Desanno said. He said Sunday that authorities had ended their search, though no body had been found. COPS premiered on March 11, 1989, and aired its 500th episode last season ----- he also produced the "Wildest Police Video" series too! man, COPS and "Wildest Police Videos" are my favorite show...
Man that sucks, he also appeared on shows like Maury Povich showing clips from the show and things like that. Crazy.
Sad. I've been on that same trail, and after you're on it for a while it starts to feel safe. When I first saw, however, I kind of thought "I shouldn't be walking here." (I always get scared on those sorts of cliffs and Mrs. B-Bob laughs at me )
was he the one interviewed in "Bowling For Columbine?" Michael Moore interviewed a COPS producer and asked him if a show entitled "Corporate Cops" would work on television. if that was him, he had a great personality and sense of humor
if Cops is anything to go by i think we know the type of person who would have committted the crime here.
