Another Man Killed By Bigfoot? The Disappearance Of Actor Charles Levin

Summary

The video examines the 2019 disappearance and death of actor Charles Levin. Bigfoot researcher Stan Avery presented the case online as a possible Sasquatch attack, but the host says the evidence does not support that claim. The host investigates the case using police records, photographs, news reports, and a forensic review.

Levin, 70, was moving to a new home within Grants Pass, Oregon—not to Selma or Cave Junction, as some accounts suggested. After he stopped responding to family and acquaintances, authorities searched an area near Selma and Dryden using cellphone-location information. On July 13, local resident Nigel Shaw found Levin’s Fiat on a remote, overgrown forest road. Officers located Levin’s decomposed body down a steep slope, with clothing nearby. His pug, Boo Boo Bear, was dead inside the car.

The host challenges several details in Avery’s account. Police records and scene photographs indicate that Levin’s body was on the ground, not suspended between trees; the dog’s body was largely intact, not mutilated; and the car had scratches and a missing mirror but was not wrecked as described. Avery also appears to have confused Jess Smith—who photographed the car after its discovery—with the person who found it. The host suggests that the glasses shown broken in later photos may have been damaged after the scene was found.

Despite these corrections, the host emphasizes that the case remains puzzling. Officers described the road as nearly impassable, with large fallen trees, and questioned how Levin’s low-clearance Fiat had reached the location. It is also unclear why he was in the area: his known move was within Grants Pass, and there is no confirmed explanation for a reported possible meeting with an unidentified man.

Levin was found naked, but the host considers hypothermia and “paradoxical undressing” difficult to reconcile with the mild summer conditions and the apparent availability of the car as shelter.

A review by forensic consultant John Olivera of Applied Forensic Solutions did not establish what happened. It suggested that some obstacles may have shifted or appeared after the car passed, and noted that the evidence could fit several possibilities, including impaired judgment, distress, fear, a wrong turn, or third-party involvement.

The host says the available material is insufficient to determine a cause of death or resolve how the car got there; the official finding was accidental death. The host rejects Bigfoot as an evidence-based explanation while leaving open questions about the road, the circumstances of Levin’s trip, and the possibility that the scene involved human actions.
