The jigsaw puzzle of William Howard Hughes Jr.'s life has many missing pieces. After disappearing into thin air in 1983 he was wanted across the globe by numerous agencies, from the Air Force to the FBI to Interpol. At one point it was thought that he defected to the Russians. Some suggested he sabotaged the disastrous Challenger space shuttle launch. Even after his recent capture, much of this unlikely story remains a mystery for the ages. Here’s what we found out.
Born in Seattle in 1950 to a father who worked in the airline industry, Hughes had three sisters. He left the Pacific Northwest in his 20s to embark on a career in the Air Force, where he enlisted in 1973. By the age of 33 he was a captain at Kirtland Air Force base in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he gained top secret access, working on a NATO program that controlled missile launches and missile warning systems.
Hughes bought a modest home in Albuquerque near the base and lived alone. In July of 1983 he was transferred to the Netherlands for a short trip to work on the same technology there. He was due to report back to Kirtland on Aug 1.
Hughes never returned to his air base. The Air Force revealed that he was seen withdrawing money from various ATMs in Albuquerque in late July – the Air Force reported that $28,500 was withdrawn from his account at 19 different locations. A search of his home on Chandelle Loop found to-do lists and books to read upon his return. His car was later found at Albuquerque International Airport. William Howard Hughes was officially classified as absent without leave on Aug 10, 1983.
At that time in New York City, 37-year-old real estate developer Donald Trump was finishing

I heard that Trump had kidnapped him and was keeping him in a safe at Mar-a-Lago.
They just had to find a way to insert Trump’s name into the story. He truly does live rent free in their heads.
Took a wrong turn at Albuquerque
LOLO!....................
Sure I did
Everyone in the neighborhood loved him. Had an infectious smile. Always wanted to help people. He was working on his GED, wanted to become a rap artist, and was going to marry his baby-momma
Oh wait, sorry. Wrong thread.
No. The space aliens kidnapped him from the Bermuda Triangle, and returned him for corrupting the youths on the home planet, and getting an alien girl pregnant. She looked human, but had teal skin and was bald
Nickname “Red”?
I remember when “journalists” would use Starbucks as a unit of volumetric measurement.
Now they use President Trump as a unit to measure time.
Yep. I was about to post something similar.
Subliminally inferring Trump had something to do with this in an underhanded and backhanded way.
This is so poorly written, I have no idea what the story is. Why even mention Trump?
This is almost on the Daily Mail/FR level of so what.
Trump sent him to spy on the LGBQWERTY lobby in SF.
LOL!!!
I heard he transitioned and was seeking help to return from Keith Partridge.

“Why even mention Trump?”
I was wondering the same thing! They just can’t help themselves the TDS is so strong. I was waiting to read that Donald Trump kidnapped the guy and enslaved him or something.
Hughes was raised in Seattle, and enlisted in the Air Force in 1973, subsequently commissioned as an officer in 1976 and attaining a master’s degree in 1979 from Air Force Institute of Technology.

Seems like a rather fast rise.
Yes. It’s nothing it’s nothing but opportunistic glom-on bullshit. They’re gonna eat it all in November and in 2024
