The book says eight years before his "death," Hughes substituted a Las Vegas derelict for himself and escaped his identity yet continued to operate his business affairs until his stand-in died and his family overturned his famous will in court. It says Hughes spent his exile in the Panama Canal Zone, the Florida Panhandle, Arizona and Alabama in the privacy he craved. He assumed the identity of aircraft maintenance supervisor Verner "Nik" Nicely, the name of a real person who conveniently disappeared while working with or for the CIA in Panama. Believe it... or not!

"Later in their life together, Eva would think back on that handsome sophisticate and wonder how he turned into the naked man running through the woods of Alabama, erecting voodoo icons on stakes by the trees that they planted on their property, but that comes later." Yes, yes. It always seems to, doesn't it?

"Then Musick accompanied her to the Gulf of Mexico to distribute her husband's ashes."
It would have been nice to have been able to do a DNA test. I wonder if any of his belongings from this time are still around?

Anyone that could pull off the Glomar Explorer caper is very much able to do something like this. Whether it happened or not, is unknowable.

Nik Micely was my daddy and Eva McLelland was my momma. It’s true I tell you!

There's some evidence that even that “exposed” story (as
told in “Blind Man's Bluff” is a cover.

I saw a guy that looks just like that in Blockbuster the other day renting a copy of Ice Station Zebra.

Well they COULD always dig up Howard's grave in Texas and see if HE is actually related to the Hughes...

I saw Elvis just the other day here on Maui. It was by one of the water falls on the way down to Hana. He looked a lot different but what gave him away was when I gave him a mountain apple he said “ thank you, thank you very much”.

I agree; I don't buy it. Hughes was addicted to drugs after surviving two plane crashes. His body was run down and old beyond his years even by the late 50’s; that he lived to be 91 seems impossible...

Anyone that could pull off the Glomar Explorer caper is very much able to do something like this Glomar Explorer had nothing to do with Hughes, his name was just the cover for a CIA op.

I guess to know these answers, I’d have to buy the book
What’s a ‘Mormon will’? How can he be screw out of his own money?
Me thinks she married a hobo impostor, claiming to be HH.
