Honestly most people who met him in the car scene are all wondering/thinking the same thing.

There is to much coincedence that his car got stolen and then his plane crash's in the same week.

Most threads I've read on other boards are all thinking a like. Alot of people are wondering if he had a Life Insurance policy. Which most people believe he does.
Since he was rather well off so to speak.

In which case that also adds to things. Personally I didn't know him, I've seen the car that he bought several times down at porky's and that's about it.

However I'll admit my first thought when I heard this whole thing was anyone checking into the wife recent behaviors, etc?

sounds like he was already in the habit of false claims based on his investigations. couple that with the 'how the fuck do you steal a car like that??' factor and asking 'what if i remembered it was at a detail shop' and you've got a nice suicide motive. makes for a good 10 o'clock expose anyway. elected officials are the best

Saw the article from this mornings tribune. Fist thing I thought of is conspiracy theory, or is that how the media chooses to portray it. I didn't know him or of him, so I would never make a comment about him. Yes the dealings do sound shady but how old was he? 47. That is a little early for Alzheimers although it could happen. There is a lot of speculation, but my thought is if he really is dead. The news reports can say whatever they want, I still wonder. All in all it is sad really that anything would lead to events happening this way no matter what the truth or outcome is.

This whole thread should just be stopped, Its obvious to what you are all thinking and just trying to potray it as your nuetral and such. Even if this is all true that this was his way out of trouble, Your go from such an honored man one day to just being a run of the mill puke because the media is saying all of this. Whats so wrong with trying to save your pride and dignity and trying to save face from your community and your family. Planes crash especialy small personal planes its not uncommon. I do not think this man would run out on his problems by killing himself, run out on a family. A lot of people commit insurance fraud I can think of one a couple on this board, so why all of the sudden when this guy does it its a conspiracy.
A man is dead and now to the media he is considered a disgrace, can you not let a man die with what pride he had left.

If he did intentionally kill himself I have no issue with that. I personally don't care (other than feeling sorry for all involved) and it wouldn't change my opinion of him either way. The insurance fraud is what I was referring to when I said it was disgraceful (I should have been more specific). I fucking hate thieves more than just about anything.
