Most people think the musician Jim Morrison, lead singer for the
Doors, died in Paris on July 3, 1971. But
Gerald Pitts says that he "discovered Jim Morrison Living on a Ranch in the Pacific Northwest in the summer of 1998." According to him, Morrison is living a quiet life as an American cowboy "away from the Hollywood scene." Even though Morrison evidently engineered an elaborate death hoax to escape publicity, he agreed to appear on film for Pitts. You can buy a copy of this film for only $24.95 (shipping is extra). Pitts' site includes a video comparing the features of Jim Morrison the fifty-something cowboy to Jim Morrison the twenty-something singer. However, no matter how many times I watch the video, I just don't see any similarity.

David and I were considering adding the following to the DEATH section in wikipedia. We would appreciate any constructive criticism...
In 1998 William J. Loyer of Eagle Point, OR revealed to his neighbor Billy Wilson that he was in fact Jim Morrison formerly of the DOORS. Wilson shared this information with David Logan and Gerald Pitts, partners in Rodeoswest Motion Pictures. Pitts was interviewed on numerous media programs including Coast to Coast AM. He formed Rodeoswest, Inc. incorporated in Oregon and included film footage and voice of the discovered Jim Morrison in his rodeo website http://www.rodeoswest.com. Videos displaying the uncanny resemblence of Bill Loyer to Jim Morrison were posted on youtube and have been viewed the world over. Long time investigative reporter Brett Hudson from Fox News candidly photographed Morrison's ranch called the JM Sanctuary but shied from interviewing the resident. It was reported in an episode of A Current Affair.
Jim Morrison has told Logan that he has come out of hiding to honor his family, friends and the many fans who he loves and who still love him. He took advantage of a near death experience that occurred in Paris by making it seem that he actually did die because he knew his rock and roll life style was truly killing him. He has made a living over the years as a Master Journeyman Brickmason. Retired now, Jim spends his time painting and writing and with his wife Marsha and their families.
In 2008 David Logan and John Ceperich who had worked with Pitts since 2006, agreed to combine efforts to demystify and bring the Jim Morrison realization forward. Logan is combining photographs, forensic evidence and his personal experiences with Jim Morrison from when he was a wrangler for the JM Sanctuary at a website called http://www.highmountainrogue.com. Ceperich has spoken to Jim's wife, a retired medical doctor from Hawaii who says that over the years attempts were made to contact Sugarman, Manzarek, Krieger and Densmore but they were all ignored. Ceperich has contacted celebrities including interviewer Gary James, Bob Proctor (Secret), Governor Charlie Crist of Florida, Krist Novoselic (Nirvana), Billy Idol, John Cougar Mellencamp and 2008 Los Angeles Music Awards winner Cliff Morrison who at one time played in a band with Krieger's son Waylan and who is the alleged son of Jim Morrison.
that stuff would fit right on wikipedia because wikipedia is full of NON facts like those. wikipedia is no credible source to me nor should it be to anyone. it's an interesting story but without driven facts and without bill loyer's cooperation your story is going to sink.
All things considered, I have to agree with what you say. Wikepedia is non factual, especially in regards to about everything that is has to say about Jim Morrison. Again though, Bill Loyer is my sole driving force, so yes if he says that I am doing something contrary to his wishes then I close the book on this. But so far I have heard that he appreciates what we are doing so must march forwards. The facts here are larger than life; even if it wasn't Jim Morrison it would still be a remarkable story.
okay so what's with that? he claims to be jim if he is not then how could you believe him on any other account of this so called EPIC past? just wondering is all. but keep it coming i'm interested. i really am just starting to see this is going to go absolutely nowhere. people keep saying they have info and proof and have been saying it on here for months now but time and time again nobody comes forward with anything even though they say this guy bill loyer aka jim gave them permission to move forward. and another thing that's starting to itch at me is even if this is jim and word gets out whatever you write a book blah blah blah. the feds will be all over his poor ass. if it's him he committed crimes! faking your death i think is illegal maybe? but if he is jim morrison i'm sure he could get out of it rock-stars don't go down like that. he will buy his way out of it with the money the fucking doors owe him. shit what am i talking about there's no proof.

Right of the top, just so you know, I have not been able to obtain fingerprints or DNA from Bill, therefore exposing him as the true Jim or a con man is still impossible. What I have so far exposes Bill from a couple years after Jim died. All the info includes his past relationships, family, residences, etc... the problem with this is that if I publish this info without consent I believe it would be an invasion of privacy. What I can tell you is that for some reason there is no record of Bill before the early 70's, there is absolutely nothing, which could just be a coincidence, or could be due to lack of record keeping. From my research it apears as though Bill just appeared out of no where. Also there are alot of bizzar coincidences throughout his life.
My biggest hang up right now is that, no matter how much evidence I come up with the only evidence that means anything is the fingerprint and DNA. I have new pictures, but they really dont mean much, in my opinion Bill doesnt look like Jim, but I could be wrong.
Just to clarify I'm not trying to prove of disprove, I m simply looking for all the evidence and then coming to a conclusion. My hope was that I'd find info from Bill's years that JIm was alive, this would prove that he's not JIm. So far I cant find any of this info, but I m still working on it.
Great question Goods!! Very constructive.
Maybe Andrew could shed some light on the questions you had about faking death being illegel etc.. and the legal ramifications that Bill may face if he infact is not Jim.
Your professional views would be greatly appreciated Andrew!
Have a great day!!!
By saying "Andrew", are you referring to me? If so I would absolutely assert that in most circumstances; to feign death would be an illegal act. In "most" is the definative word.
One has to be cautious in that assertion , however, as various factors would apply (e.g indebtedness, pending unresolved legal issues etc) I would have to have a factual account of pretty much everything that happened at the time of his "demise" to make a professional judgement. (Iwant to clarify this..I'm not a Judge so I use that word as an expression only)
Now on a less formal note, the good news is that he "died" in Paris, and as a European I have way more clout there than any (or many) American Citizens ever could..this is not an Anti American slur..it is just a matter of fact.
To cut things very short..I have American legal friends who could possibly help. I have a working knowledge of U.S law, but I'd have to study the statutes etc of the State where Bill lives.
All of the above is in the spirit of me being asked a question..if you weren't referring to me then I'll just say "oops" and clam up.
I hope that you all get these issues resolved guys..I'm not knocking any of you; but I'm sure that you all know that there is only one solution to this enigma! It has just occured to me that a person may go in "absentia" on some ocasions..eg fear of death..death threats etc. In the UK you can change your name legally ..but we have a thing called "Deed Poll"...12th Centuary twaddle..I need to look up to see if you have the same facility in the USA.
Cheers all..sleep well!
Andrew
Yes I meant you, thanks for the answer it's greatly appreciated.
I'm only just coming round to your way of thinking, so keep your enthusiam going until you know for sure what is what.
If Bill isn't Jim then I expect him to cease communication with all of you if he fears that his ruse will be exposed. This is normal behaviour; but the same could be said for a person who wanted to retire into private life, then rethinking that and getting "cold feet" and wanting to retreat back into annonimity..Fickle behaviour is well documented in the history of celebrity.
JLiz believes this mans story, so I'll maintain my open mind until the truth comes out. If it turns out that he isn't the "man"..I won't crow about it; I'll just be rather sad that you guys have put in so much work..anyway here's hoping.
Goodnight guys..its late here now and I must be up at six...what a life!!
Andrew
I testify to you in a court of law that it is Jim Morrison. Will the people who have amassed amazing fortunes by saying that Jim is dead testify in a court of law as well?
the goods
If I had a "we shall see" attitude none of this would have ever gotten accomplished. I've been working my tail off for over 3 years, spending my hard earned money and fighting tooth and nail for every millimeter of ground I get. Some may wear their TEAM DNA shirts and sit in the bleachers but those of us who have made it happen are standing up to very powerful "cool" people and doing what we think it takes.
Have a great day!!!

It's a fact of life and Law, that the very few people who gain out of a contentious litigation are the ones that who least deserve it. In that respect I mean folk like me, who works for a sum of money (I have to do this to feed my family and pay my mortgage).And folk like JLizzard who works for nothing other than a belief.
I don't at this point need JLizzard to prove anything to me, as at this moment in time; I think that he is on the right track.
I fully admit that I was and still retain a sceptical point of view..JLiz knows this, as we chat regularly; however, I will be the first to applaude his earth shattering news in a few months. Personally I can't wait for it.
All you folk out there..Listen to JLizzard..you may not agree; but I believe him to be an honest lad..and probably the most honest reprasentative of Jim Morrisom alive.

This post is about a informative as the 200 before it.Paster agrees with me!
I probably share the same doubts as you..I have spoken about them to JLiz personally,and many times on this site, and he is aware of them and seems to respect them. Apart from seeming to be a good "bloke", he has quite obviously put his money and personal reputation on the line for what he and many others percieve to be the truth.
I must respect that and so should you..not in a "believe it or not" kind of way; but in the spirit of trust. I suspect that if JLizzard feels that he has been wrong all this time, he will be the first to admit it, without any discredit to him.
However if he is right! then I hope that all the detractors, including myself, will line up to place a laurel wreath on his head as a victor. He's in an impossible situation right now..proof..non proof..DNA analysis and God knows what else. As my Granny used to say.."All will out with the wash"..meaning that the truth will be obvious one day.
Cheers all ..Night John

Do some research of your own. I recommend melissadata.com and the whitepages,how easy is that?Call his neighbors, which you can do if you know how to utilize the internet for more than barnyard love,myspace and dead rockstars. Plug in their names, see what you find.
William James Loyer of Eagle Point, Oregon is simply that, a normal person like you and me. The only difference is.....he has some wacko Jlizard plastering his image online.
Wake up. I can't believe you people even entertain this delusional fuckhead!
Guys, stop swearing and being profane! it diminishes your point of view by about 60% by my standard. My standard isn't particular.. I just don't like hearing it thanx very much ..coolforjomo I refer to you particularly. What exactly is a "fuckhead"? is it a bizzarre erotic tool? or an easy put down?..If you were in my Court I'd rip you apart for using a term like that.
Goodnight all..peace and good will to ALL men is my creed and calling someone a fuckhead pisses me off more than I can stand!
Do you read your posts before pressing submit? Does anyone else see what a loon this man is?!
John isn't. Neither is the newspaper article.
Bill Loyer helped me when I was almost a broken man. The lowest point in my life. Strong and wise, he did'nt even know me.
I don't want to sound like a teacher, but unless you do paragraphs; how on earth do you expect folk to follow your thread?
I've said it before, and obviously I must say it again,,PARAGRAPHS guys please! I'm, dyslexic and a whole segment of text like before almost makes my brain shut down..JLiz I had to go back to your text word by word. My brain sort of short fuses in that situation. I only knew something was wrong when my Wife called an ambulance.I felt ok but I couldn't even remember my name at that point.
I'm okay now, but please guys , write on this site in regular paragraphs..I'm asking as a favour..John I'll mail you separately to try to explain.
Cheers
Andrew
It's a question of wait and see isn't it? Do you think that Bill is Jim? Or is he just a nice guy who helped you.
I had an uplifting experience in 1979 when I first visited his grave as a teen..having said that I wept at Oscar Wilds grave..at Jims I laid a joint...at Oscars I laid a lilly from the florist shop near the top gateway. At this moment I feel as close to death as a human being could! my siezure has left me as a sort of ethereal being. I exist for now. And in this moment I bid you adieu!..JLiz I'll mail you.
Catch up with you soonest. I have loads of work to catch up having spent a few days in the sun driving 150bhp dune buggys in the Sahara Dessert...awesome fun..now back home.
JLiz can I repeat one thing? paragraphs help me loads..my eyesight isn't that good (I'll mail you privatly anyway) I just find solid blocks of writing very hard to read.
Cheers everyone.
Andrew
I've just bought a massive house in the French Pyrenees, nearly 3000 feet above sea level..Its full of spiders right now..but I'm turning into a retreat for aged Rock Stars to crash out in. JLiz is welcome too.
I'm stopping being a lawyer soon, so if you have any general legal questions ask now..I'll be retiring in January at the latest! I'm 48 and have plenty of money to survive on.
John, Can I come and meet Bill? can I contribute at all?..I'll mail you privately anyway..
Cheers
Thank you for always sharing your wit, humor and enthusisam. Congratulations on your decision to retire as an attorney. I'm already planning for the party!
Just got my copy of Wilderness so I'll be busy with nose to papel myself. Still looking forward to your emails. The world needs to know bro.
We need to kick this web page up a gear or two..it's all getting way too lovey right now. I propose a solution to this discussion.. (I don't want to say arguement) I say that Jim Morrison is alive and kicking..You say Jim is dead and mouldering in his grave...rather like John Brown.
JLizz knows my point of view and enters into healthy debate with me; I don't agree with him all the time..and for sure he picks me up from time to time..that is the value of debate.
Folks..listen to JLizzard on YouTube..you're in for a nice surprise..an articulate pleasant man..who I hope to meet one day.
Cheers JLizzard..Keep me posted if you can..
Cheers J
Andrew
Thanks for the kind words. You know, we just yap here like a bunch of old woman, the workhorse in this whole mess is still Cliff Morrison. After winning a couple of the most prestigious awards last year, Cliff and the Lizard Sun Band simply entertained at this one at the ever so historic Whisky A Go-Go 8.
Here's writer Dave Gamboa's website mentioning Cliff:

And
http://www.topix.com/forum/who/jim-morrison/TTUKARNDVQD6CTULV/p4#lastPost
which features our long lost friend's article nonstoptonowhere...
Cliff is the one doing the deal in the same wicked industry that his father did. We are all on the sidelines cheering, but if the Jim Morrison story will ever come to public light I'm sure we will have Cliff to thank.
Paternity suit: Why do people think that some kid of Jim would want to sue his estate? That is how you think. Not how everybody thinks.
He probably has a ton of kids. There were a lot of paternity suits.
Jim's body is not in his grave. Just not there. Do the nostradamus thing and dig it up. Lol.
Him showing himself: why? Jim doesn't think like you do. Anyway, he doesn't have to show himself when he can create fake personalities online with elaborate legends and screw with you. Lol.
He writes his own disinformation. Some - "some" - of the most elaborate and absurd conspiracy theories he wrote... probably just to increase the size of the "labyrinth". Anyway, what is anyone looking for? Answers to what?
