“And now for something completely different...”
Somewhere, Clifford Irving is doing a forehead slap and saying “why didn’t I think of this?”
Didn’t he construct and pilot Louis Farrakhan’s “mother ship”?
Not as surprising as the book that claimed “DB Cooper” was actually a post-op transexual in transition who disguised “herself” as a man during the hijacking to forever throw off the authorities.
People would prefer to believe all the crazy stuff than the truth his family has been fighting to put out there for decades.
That, I believe.
: D
I’ll believe just about anything these days.
Eva could just as well have married Elvis. Why did she choose Howard Hughes?

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... Hughes died in 2001, at age 96, according to the book. Hughes had lost access to his fortune but won the heart of a woman, married her and stayed married 31 years until his death, according to the book. The wife, Eva McLelland, who died last year, told her story to Mark Musick, who has been documenting this off-road saga for almost a decade. Wellman wrote the book for him.Article also sez the author is "not a nut".
True or false, it’s a nice story. But wouldn’t you think that Howard would plan ahead enough to “pay” a little money over the months for a “research project” to “Nic Nicely” until he had a Nicely nest egg in the canal zone that his family couldn’t screw him out of?
Just sayin.’

Wholeheartedly agree — but then I think about Clifford Irving...
I worked for Hughes for 27 years and he promised me 700 million $
If it is true, he gave up the world for a woman he loved..soon to be a movie.
A DNA test could not be trusted since the family would not want to risk the will.
Why didn’t he not just come forward?
Why not as for a FOIA request on the agent’s death?
Howard Hughes is alive and well
If I know’d where he was I still wouldn’t tell.
I’d be a fool to play hide and seek
With the man that signed my check last week.
-Sonny Hall (1971
If Wonder Woman had married Howard Hughes and then Henry Kissinger after that, she'd be Wonder Hughes Kissinger now.

Yeah, there's a really nice gated community in Baja C where Hughes, Elvis, and Jimmy Hoffa lived out their lives in comfortable obscurity.
