Did Steve Fossett Fake His Own Death?
July 28, 2008 3:12 PM

Steve Fossett, the millionaire adventurer, disappeared with a small plane in Nevada eleven months ago, and has since been declared dead. But today British and Australian tabloids are full of this story:

"ROUND-THE-WORLD flying ace Steve Fossett may have FAKED his own death in the mystery plane crash that left NO WRECKAGE and NO BODY," says "News of the World."

This from The Register of London: "Despite a massive search for Fossett and his Bellanca Citabria Super Decathalon, no trace of either has ever been found. Lieutenant Colonel Cynthia Ryan of the US Civil Air Patrol, who was involved in the operation from the start, 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.'"

"Ryan believes Fossett "may have faked his own death due to personal problems or fears about his business dealings", the Telegraph explains."

4. this article is based on comments made by someone who didn't even know him.

"Recent comments attributed to Ryan regarding the search for Fossett contain errors of fact, appear to be taken out of context and were not released with the knowledge or approval of CAP. Civil Air Patrol’s role in the search for Fossett, as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center, was limited to search and rescue in coordination with other emergency service providers. Issues pertaining to Fossett’s personal life and/or rumors surrounding his disappearance are entirely unrelated to CAP’s search efforts and, therefore, it would be inappropriate for CAP to comment."

15. Stevesquatch made me promise to destroy the negatives.

He didn't like the rustic fence with the autumn leaves background. I tried to talk him into the cloudy blue background, but nobody ever listens to me. That hairy fuck deserves what he gets.

16. i liked the leaning on the mirror pick, one hairy hand under his chin so casually

and the other under the table where it was left the viewers imagination.
