A 65 year old, overweight woman dying in her sleep is much more plausible. It happens everyday, in every city in America.
How many people on here who are saying that it would be too crazy for Fuddy’s death to be faked through a plane crash - which is almost the ONLY argument anybody here has given - would argue the same thing if the regime gave her a new identity by claiming that she had just quietly died in her sleep?
The ONLY argument they can rely on at this point, given the faked funeral stuff, is that it is too - ahem - AUDACIOUS to stage a plane crash in order to whisk her away. If they had quietly whisked her away and claimed that she died in her sleep with no witnesses there, no fog of confusion because of differing accounts, etc, they would have eliminated the only argument anybody ever gives - the argument based on normalcy bias.
It’s the argument you’re making. What argument would you use to deny a faked death if they said she died in her sleep with no witnesses present?
