Man falling off plane.... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Does anybody remember this case?

A guy shows up at a small airport, asking if he could get on a flight out of town. They tell him no, and he leaves.

Then, as a plane is taking off, the man jumps on to the wing of the plane. It reaches a certain height, and the man can't hang on and falls to his death.

The man had no ID on him, only the clothes on his back. They said he may have been a swimmer because of the way his pubic area was shaved (I guess he had a bikini cut).

Was this ever updated?

Actually, it was updated but I vaguely remember the details. Someone on here once posted some updated info regarding the case, maybe someone will post it again.

Yes. He was positively identified as Brian Stanley Duecker.

That story was very strange.

Mystery-Lover · 07-20-2004, 10:09 AM

Yeah I know Brent88. It was very bizarre how he needed to get on the plane so badly that he jumped on its wing and tried to hold on. Very strange. And his pubic hair was shaved, yuck!

Even though this case is "solved", I still wonder WHY he was so desparate to take off in a plane in that instant. What was the hurry? Where did he want to go? I wonder if someone out there knows.

It seems to me that only Duecker himself knew for sure. And since he is deceased, those questions will probably remain unanswered.

I'm sure his medical situation (paranoid schitzophrenic) had something to do with it.
