"May have faked his own death"
This thread is about conspiracy theories and elaborate plots.

Not to take the Daily Telegraph too seriously, I think the set of facts as presented recently is pretty interesting. Basically they reckon there's a few things that support the idea that he didn't ever crash, besides not having been able to find the crash site.

- The found 6 other planes while looking for his - one of the biggest searches in history
- A mistress ??
- Only one person saw him took off
- This person set up his plane, which is something he has never let anyone do before
- He picked a plane that was steel/fibreglass/wood with fabric and easilly dismantled and carried off
- No emergency equipment?

Anyway,
If I faked my own death, I would have to have my funds mobile, and lots of them. Really, it doesn't quite matter if he is discovered alive right? His funds were already mobilised by being declared legally dead in Februrary. And it won't be over an affair, I mean comon.

I'm think it will be something along the lines of 'The 11th Commandment' by Jeffery Archer. Except I don't know any old dudes whose body I can use for my fake death. And I don't have 90 million to steal to make it worth it! Basically, if can basically learn to fly light aeroplanes, a fossett-style escape would be preferable. Less flames and bodies and car crashes.

Also, I am pretty sure I wouldn't do it just for a mistress. I mean, I'm sure she's pretty and all... but that's a lot of effort! Maybe if the mistress killed the wife and was then blackmailing me. OOOh conspiracy...

What is your elaborate faked death scenario.

Aztex:
I'd fake my death on a security camera with somebody attacking me etc.

and  then run away to a bubble built under the sea to party with the octopusses.

calenlass:
An octopus's garden? In the shade, perhaps?

I'm not sure if your article mentions it, but reading updates and other articles, they said where he supposedly crashed was probably the worst place to do so if you wanted a rescue party to come look for you. lots of hills, crevices, a lot of vegetation that made it hard to search from the air. they did find other crashes from years ago that they didnt even know where there, so his crash could still be out there...or he might have managed to disappear completely...

fatty:
Yeah, and a privately funded team of proffessionals scoured some of the steepest slopes not accessible by blackhawks for 10 days last month and couldn't find anything. It's the biggest search in nevada history.
Also, there was no criminal investigation in his dissappearance at all. I'm not suggesting it's true, just that it is an interesting bunch of leads for a conspiracy theorist.
