    I didn't even get a message!
    I'm guessing that I have to reply in order to get the message that primescore got. *sigh*

    Edit: I replied saying "I never got a response to this request". They're going to deny they have anything as far as I know. It wouldn't hurt to check the FOIA logs.

    I'm beginning to think that's the only way to get the footage!!!
    lol.

    Just a little update: I did email and I did get a response. I was told that my response should arrive in a couple days. Don't get excited. I'm pretty sure it's a letter saying something similar to primescore's.

    I'm beginning to question whether Marilyn Fletcher actually got the video, I'm thinking maybe they do log the request but notice how there weren't any charges? You'd think there'd at least be a duplication charge!

    What about that lady that wrote the Washington Post article about Christine's final minutes. She saw the footage...has anybody tried to contact her?

    Who ever said that Marilyn Fletcher "got the video?" She supposedly applied to have it sent to her. Is there any evidence that it actually was sent to her?

    If we don't score anything we can still get the transcript of her death from the Sarasota Police Department...I'll front the money. If I get the documents in the mail then I will scan them in for y'all.

    After that, we can all plan to have a "Christine Chubbuck" appreciation day (for FAD members only ) down in Sarasota. We can go hang out at the old WXLT parking lot and wonder where she parked her yellow VW Beetle that morning. We can discuss this for hours if we want. We can also find out where her old address was and then "retrace" her route to work...

    ...now that would be a gas...

    PS — Lisamarie can ride with me...

    Marilyn Fletcher didn't receive the footage. If the FCC had it we'd have seen it years ago.

    I've been trying to point this out throughout this thread but no one's been listening.

    We're up to £25k at the moment by the way.

    Someone has seen it, undoubtedly, and I think Marilyn Fletcher may have. She describes the pause on air, the steadiness of her gaze, and her non shaking hand as she raised the gun to her head and fired the fatal shot--which leads me to believe that she may well have seen it, at least.
    As for the transcript of her death, now THAT I found somewhere, I think--let me go through the steps I have already researched.

    You're probably right, but did you hear the story above about the woman who has the friend with the FCC? They may have it, it's just not given out and they deny they have it (CONSPIRACY!!!)

    And by the way, DixieGirl, it's Sally Quinn you're thinking of. I'm sure she saw that footage.

    But think about it guys, do you think WWSB (used to be WXLT, it's affiliated with ABC. I think that may've been described earlier) or ANY News Program would want this footage do be viewed. Not nesscarily because of the graphic footage, there is a helluva lot more graphic stuff on the internet. It's the message that she's sending. Turn on the News and what do you see? 'Blood and guts' television. It's what gets the ratings. Christine was swept under the rug, and I'm thinking it's possibly due to the fact that it could've hurt ratings for certain news programs.

    I don't know. But the message she sent, in my opinion, was very fucking powerful.
    25k eh? Here's to hoping someone finds it (or it arrives in the mail today!!!)

    I agree with the ratings angle. Back then seeing someone shoot themselve on tape would have been horrifyingly beyond comprehension. Today, it would be a shock but, everybody would be clamouring to the internet to get to see it, or watch it again if they had already seen it.Times have changed a lot. It sounds like Budd Dwyer's suicide was more brutal and graphic than Christine's. In a way we might be very dissapointed seeing her death. It probably wouldn't stack up to Budd's. I still think I saw her suicide on a real death movie but, I can't for the life of me remember where or when I saw it. I think somebody must have paid money, or bootlegged a copy of her suicide that was in the movie I saw. I highly doubt whoever had it had it legally. At one time somebody either sold out, or turned the other way while somebody copied it. It's out there somewhere the question is where?

    Can't anyone archive (or hunt down) those old "Faces of Death" type videos then? Also, like the Traci Lords stuff (I know gross example), you can still buy an old smut magazine from 1984 in a store and it will have her in it, so if it's out there, you can definitely get your hands on it, one way or another. If those Faces of Death movies were made and that footage is in it, then let's track down that tape!

    Yay something to do inside on this hot as hell day!

    Yeah I tried that once before lol--not to mention which there appears to be no site which lists in detail any of the scenarios featured on the movies themselves.

    I think I saw that list somewhere. But everyone can now watch and I'm sure that footage is not there. If it was we would have seen it before.

    Hey look! FAD gets a shout out.

    Despite some horrifyingly tenacious research by "death hags" on hideously poor taste websites, no video of Chubbuck's intentionally public suicide has ever been sourced. Her family won an injunction against the TV station, preventing them from releasing the recording publicly and were given possession of the only known video tape. If they've not destroyed it, chances are it will be degraded to the point of being unplayable due to thirty-five years of improper storage. And that's probably a good thing. It is, however, terribly sad that there seems to be none of her day-to-day work that has survived or been distributed, meaning that her legacy will always be that of a ghoulish anecdote, a holy grail to a desensitised generation who, instead of remembering the person, would post 'reaction' videos on You Tube and turn her name into a verb or a punchline.

    I see more real deaths on youtube of all places!
    Somewhere in this thread someone said faces or traces of death could contain the footage.
    I think i remember seeing something about her in a news report. Just her sitting at the desk, not the suicide part. It was one of those news shows in the 80's or early 90's...

    Sorry to disappoint you guys .
    I'm still waiting for the FCC response...

    So, I'm curious to know, if someone at one point does get this footage and post it, could they get into trouble??? It was broadcasted live, but many things about the legal system don't make sense, just curious here!

    I think it was real death just kind of a spin off from faces of death. I need to go googling.

    I've never heard of Death Scenes or Final Exits...I have heard of Banned In America and Traces of Death and I doubt they would have the footage.

    Does anyone have imdb.com links for Death Scenes or Final Exits? I'll try to look around, but I can't seem to find any.

    lol, you'll are probably going to laugh at me but I haven't even watched Faces Of Death...and frankly, I have no desire too. But if the footage is on something similar well, I'll watch it. Gore grosses me out for the most part though :/. But I obiviously understand the interest/curiousity.

    Sorry to bump yet again and get your hopes up, but you know, that blog kinda pissed me off a little. I consider myself a "death hag." Proud of it too. But, I've seen some photos and videos in my day, (some by pure accident. Thanks google image minus safe filter.) But for the most part, I'm a baby about those things. I still understand that there are many people who want or need to see this, and I am glad to say most of the people on this board have much respect for Christine. Just like Scott said in Dearly Departed 1 going up to Jack Cassidy's apartment, "... [these people]understands that we're not vampires, we're not crazy people; we're just people that are interested in something a little bit different."

    and his last blog in which he admitted to being a hypocrite because he watched the Tommy Cooper death tape. Anyhow, he wrote me this morning and asked me to be on his radio show which I declined. Scott said he would be doing a tour at the same time of the show. Anyone else interested? We need a good rep for hags

    yeah, my comment on his blog said I thought we would like to have known her alive but since she did do it on tv Im pretty sure she wanted her statement to be seen

    I just read about that Tommy Cooper, and I don't think I want to see it. I have a feeling I'll regret it. I could watch Christine's because she wanted it seen, while I don't think Tommy would appericate it much, frankly.
    I think that Seagorath should do the radioshow if anyone!
    If they asked me I might do it though, dunno, although the idea of being on the radio kind of freaks me out a bit.
