Linda Chase, A christian mother of three, grandmother of four, and great-
grandmother of four, is a native of Southern California.
She moved to Flagstaff 15 years ago and is now retired.
Shortly after moving to Flagstaff she formed an Over Fifty singles group.
In 2002, she became Flagstaff’s “Skunk Chaser”, trapping and releasing
over 1,200 skunks and raccoons…and yes, she’s been sprayed!
She has been featured on local TV and NAU’s Public Radio station.   
Linda worked at Rockwell International for 27 years designing custom
military integrated circuits, technical writing, engineering documentation,
policies and procedures, and software circuit verification and simulation.
While at Rockwell, she was awarded the Quality of Excellence Award
for her division in 1989.  
Her interests and hobbies have included catamaran sailing/racing,
photography (published), writing poetry (published), oil painting, mosaics,
knitting, crocheting, embroidery, jewelry making, and is currently learning
lamp work- (making glass beads with a torch).  
She is always busy with some sort of creative endeavor.   
Linda is young at heart, adventurous, and has always had a fascination with
the paranormal.  Having had a few paranormal experiences only
broadened her interest over the years.
In May 2008, she had contacted T.Az.P.S. and several days later ran into
Frank, Lori, and the team at a remote location in Camp Verde totally by
accident.  That serendipitous meeting prompted her to join our group as a
paranormal investigator trainee.

Lisa McCoy grew up in Southern California, spending most of her time at
Huntington Beach.  She loves the ocean, but any body of water will do.
Lisa is married to Scott McCoy, has two daughters, one step-daughter, two
grandchildren, and one on the way, and four step-grandchildren.
She met Scott over the phone while working in CA; he lived in Flagstaff.  
After a long distance relationship she moved to Flagstaff in 1983 and within
two years were married.  That was 23 years ago.
Lisa's background has always been working with people--as an aide at a
convalescent hospital, order desk clerk at various places, a grocery store
checker, and an orthodontic assistant working mainly with children and
adolescents, as well as adults for over five years.  Lisa is currently working
part time as a sales rep for a dog food company, and doing property
inspections for various mortgage companies.
Her passion is making vintage style jewelry, dichroic fused glass and PMC
jewelry.  They are all unique, one-of-a-kind pieces.  Her jewelry has been
carried in galleries in Hawaii, Sedona, and Flagstaff.
Lisa's curiosity with the paranormal came about after she experienced visits
from her grandmother and it has been ongoing since 1990.  She and her
mother (Linda Chase) were on a day trip to Phoenix and were discussing the
TAzPS Ghost Conference in Jerome.  While on their way home they ran into the
TAzPS team at a remote location in Camp Verde.
It was a trip (no pun intended)!  
She felt it was a sign.  
Several days later she expressed her interest to join TAzPS as an
Investigator-in-Training.  She feels very fortunate to be involved in something
"bigger" that will make a difference in other people's lives as well as her own.

Scott McCoy grew up in Long Beach, CA, and moved to Flagstaff over 30
years ago.  He was owner of Cranks Plus in Flagstaff for many years, and it
was the largest automotive machine shop in Northern Arizona at the time.
Doing business with the Navajo Tribe started an interest in the Navajo
lifestyle and continues today.  He has been all over the reservation and seen
many beautiful areas--his favorite being the Monument Valley area.
After that, he became a Real Estate Agent.  During his 21 years in real estate
he has been one of the top-selling realtors in the Flagstaff area, and
presently works for Liberty Properties of Flagstaff.   Lisa and Scott also
have a business that involves doing delinquent mortgage inspections,
securing properties, and maintaining these properties for many lenders.
This keeps the whole family very busy.
Scott has enjoyed the beach all his life, was a surfer, and lived in Hawaii for
a time.  He loves fireworks, and is never without a cherry bomb.  He loves
taking roads off the beaten path, and has enjoyed many Hawaiian vacations
and a rafting trip on the San Juan river.
Scott is married to Lisa McCoy, also a TAzPS Investigator-in-Training.  Scott
has three daughters, six grandchildren, and one on the way.
Scott is truly a family man.
Scott grew up around his grandmother, who used to read tea leaves, as did
her mother.  His interest in the paranormal began when his wife and
mother-in-law (Linda Chase) came home all excited about meeting the TAzPS
team in Camp Verde.  His adventuresome spirit and bravery, as well as team
attitude make him fun to be around.
