Adventurer Steve Fossett 'may have faked his own death' Round-the-world flying adventurer Steve Fossett may have faked his own death, investigators have claimed. By Chris Irvine Last Updated: 12:22PM BST 27 Jul 2008 Fossett, a friend of Virgin boss Richard Branson, and the first man to fly non-stop round the earth in a hot air balloon, went missing last September when his final flight in a light plane over the Nevada desert went missing. However, Lieutenant Colonel Cynthia Ryan of the US Civil Air Patrol has said Fossett, whose body or plane was never found, could still be alive. She said: "I've been doing this search and rescue for 14 years. Fossett should have been found. "It's not like we didn't have our eyes open. We found six other planes while we were looking for him. We're pretty good at what we do."

Huh... how does she survive from a two mile fall in her plane seat? The Big Guy upstairs must have had a hand in it...
For a while, everyone was concerned that the pilot might have flown off with the plane for a suicide mission or to sell it to a foreign nation. A few months later, they found a small piece of the aircraft on the side of a mountain and discovered that the plane had impacted on the mountain, triggering a rock slide that completely covered the wreckage.
You have his phone number? Just don't go out and write any unauthorized bibliographies :)
Perhaps he wanted his wife to think he was dead and not just leaving her voluntarily.
Judge Crater told me he was seen talking to Jimmy Hoffa
Land on a playa; dismantle plane & load into trailer; shoot & bury the 10 or 12 hired help; hide trailer in abandoned barn in the boonies; drive off into the sunset; take up safe life disguised as an illegal alien in a sanctuary city by the bay?
