After Laura was barred from speaking with Clayton, she became hyperactive online.

She began repeatedly reaching out to online content creators like Dave Neal to refute their claims.

Around this time, Dave got an interesting email from a Howard

get on the phone raised alarm bells for Dave. He and his audience began to suspect that maybe Chase

Jay Jones didn't exist at all.

Chase J. Jones became the most interesting, like, Loch Ness monster, a Bigfoot, if you will, a mystery.
