I love it when something good happens to people I care about. A good friend of Jan and I is the rough tough bounty hunter William Cobra Staubs. Cobra is everything that you would expect, he is not the mamby pamby pepper spray carrying Dog Chapman. Cobra is a man who means business!
For many people the name Cobra Staubs had no significance until he became involved with the Haleigh Cummings case. Which on more than one occasion he has shared with me his regret.
Haleigh Cummings is the last missing little girl that I am ever going to look for
The Haleigh Cummings case crippled Cobra, his license became in jeopardy through the actions (and inactions) of people he called friends. He is in fact still recovering from the fallout. I have no intentions of rehashing the appalling conduct of a couple of people. It is all just bio-fuel under the bridge!
A couple of months ago Cobra and I were chatting, a TV production company from Greece were interested in making a documentary about Bounty Hunting. In parts of Europe it is illegal, so they wanted to come to the US and film the documentary. They even had a catchy title Hunting Humans.
Having researched the Bounty Hunters, they asked Cobra to be the focus.
Hunting Humans aired in Europe last night to rave reviews. The audio is a mixture of English and Greek, the good news is that English dominates (with Greek subtitles).
The other great news is that unlike the US networks, European Networks are happy to share their programing online. They also don’t give a rats ass about about the occasional cuss word (or 25).
Could Cobra be the next Baywatch Hunk? I have my doubts. But he certainly is a very good friend.
So, in the event that last night you did not have your satellite dish pointed at a European TV feed, I have the link for you! Here is Hunting Humans.
I also want to congratulate MegaTv on producing a very fine documentary (an understanding of the Greek language is recommended)!

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackEvening Simon,i love it that they have done something on Cobra.WoW!! Thats to cool.I love the pictures,im a boat lover so Cobra on tha boat, thats my favorite.Nice to hear people see the value in a man like Cobra.I would love to see the show in full.An the cussing to me went along with the job,an people he delt with.When going in dark places seeking someone who has to be picked up..An we know he had to go where thugs were in the hood, while looking for anwsers-even in his work in Putnam.One has to fit the part.
Im sure if he went in the hood in a suit saying please,an thank you-lol he would never find bail jumpers/criminals.I miss the Sunday show,hearing Cobras boombing voice when on as your guest,an friend.Thanks so much for the update.I wish the best for Cobra.As well as for you,an Jan.
Cobra, it’s about time! You are looking good. I wish you all the success & even more happiness in your life. God bless you! Simon, thank you for the article about Cobra. I wish you and Jan all the best! Love you guys! It never ceases to amaze me how so much sorrow and turmoil can come from a precious baby girl disappearing. I wish they would solve this case!
Simon, you and Jan are my friends as well I would have sent you a personal e mail but rather I desired to let the world know who my friends are. These days the list is not very long but those on it have a friend for life. You are right, I will never go into harms way to try to find a missing child. As much as I hate to say that, no one really knows how that has affected my life. If others would go out on a limb every once and a while for others, what a great world this would be. I would just hope if they should jump in the river of slime while attempting to do the right thing, that would be at least one cheering them on and one holding tightly on a rescue rope. Not getting a rope and chanting ” hang em”.
In any event, be well my friends, and thank you all. Even the Hate’rs as it takes all to take all. Sorry for the riddle, but it’s who I is. Lol. Be well and thank you
Congratulations Cobra.
I just finished watching the video. The show was very cool and informative.
Great job!
Simon, Thanks for the article. It’s good to see Cobra moving forward.
Cobra, Great show. You’re looking well. My favorite parts are:
1. The pink lipstick comment – to funny
2. Belt buckle shot – cool
3. Explanation of how bonds work and the court scenes – very informative
4. R2D2, 1B candle power- extra extra cool
5. LOVE the LADDER! I want one!
6. The young woman apprehended was treated respectfully.
7. The firing range. Good aim! QUESTION: Why do you back up when shooting? Never knew they put real faces on the targets – gross
8. Discussion regarding BBond business – political and financial
Hello to Everyone – Have missed so many here, but took a backseat to blogging for awhile.
Hearty CONGRATULATIONS to Cobra! Job Well Done! Now perhaps somebody in the business here in the States will hone in on this and sign you on a long term contract for a weekly show!
Congratulations Cobra. Gods speed.
LadyDay we all have been wondering where you were. It is good to know you are doing well. We sure have missed you in the forum.
I just got a chance to watch the video,of part of the documentary.I will say Cobra you look well.Looking Good in all your gear!! By the way i like the way your trucks set up.Nice lookin motor(clean)
I just know its a exciting/dangerous job.My only son will never be a 9-5 type guy,so i was showing him this video.Thinking it may be a line of work he may like.It caught his attention.He knows i would rather he be one who also fights against crime/criminals/than ever be one.
I know when you/an your partner were telling about the two who shot their selves when you went in.(Different times)That was bad,a life of crime never pays.One way or the other its going to take a person down.They must have been looking at yrs.
I know you have so many exciting stories that you could share,of take downs.An all that happens when searching the criminal out.Share some in the future,if Simon will write about it,or if its allowed in your line of work.Take care of yourself.
I think you do a good service for society.An for that i thank you.Keep up the good work.An keep stopping by,letting Simon know whats going on.So we can get the updates.
Thank you Simon, for the article. You and Jan are the best!
Cobra, it was great hearing from you again! As for the video.. Gotta love those Greeks. They always seem to be ahead of the game. I just love the video, and hope someone will be wise enough to make this a regular show. “Hunting Humans”…. a very necessary, and interesting topic. Cobra, I wish you all the best!!
Loved the show, glad your doing ok and back in the game. I loved the whole thing and you showed the real you. Hope they do make a series Your honesty shines thru we seen it in the Haleigh case and now we got to see another part of who you were before and after and I like it. God Bless you Cobra and Happy Thanksgiving!
