Fuddy's plane went down off Molokai. The pilot ditched, they all got out and were in the water with life jackets on. Fuddy was the only one who died (apparently after exiting the aircraft and getting her life jacket on). All others are okay, and they were rescued promptly, in daylight.
Fuddy was the HI official who claimed to have seen the original documents and who signed off on the forgery, iirc.
What does Fuddy’s death have to do with whether nancy Owens’ information is accurate?
