On yesterdays UM on LT, there was a story about a unidentified man that showed up at a small airport begging for a lift. No one would help him out. One of the workers saw him jump a fence and disappear. They found his body later that day. He apparently had climbed on a wing of the plane and fell off about 3000 feet in the air. There was an update, but I don't remember his name. They said they identified him but they never said why he did this. Was he running from something? There was no sign of drugs or alcohol in his system. Does anyone have any additional info on this case, like why was he running? Pretty interesting case.

Apparently the man was a paranoid schitzophrenic who just kinda flipped out for no reason.

Brian Stanley Duecker had a mental ailment, so it could have been a factor in his running for the airplane.

Thanks, very interesting!
