Katy Elizabeth was born in Warwick Rhode Island. Katy is a world-leading authority on the Lake Champlain Monster. Katy has been studying the existence of Champ since she was a child. She made her lifelong dream into reality when she had her own sightings of this elusive creature on Lake Champlain. It prompted her to start her own group called "Champ Search."The group's goal is to study, investigate, prove the existence and most importantly protect the unique animals that inhabit New York and Vermont's beautiful Lake Champlain. Katy currently resides on the shores of Lake Champlain in Ferrisburgh VT. In 2018 she was honored with an official world record as the only full-time Dedicated Woman Lake Monster Hunter in the world. Also in 2018, Katy approached the town of Port Henry NY known as the "Home of Champ" with a written resolution to protect Champ. In April of 2018 this law was passed. She has been featured on the History Channel, Discovery Channel, The Science Channel and NBC.
