I've tried searching threads for info on these two cases but I have limited knowledge of them so it was in vain. Can you give me details about these two cases?
The first one was about the guy in Paducah, KY, who hung onto a airplane and fell to his death, he was unidentified at the time. Any news on who he was and what happened? The second one, my details are even more vague, but I remember a picture of a blond dead man being shown and then he was later creamated and the family said it wasn't him or something along those lines. Sorry, I can't tell you more about this one, but I know we have some great UM buffs on here so please help me out!!!!!

The second one kinda sounds like the "body switching" case of Dr Richard Boggs? Him and a partner killed another guy (I think his name was Melvin Green?) and switched his body for one of theirs to collect life insurnace. I can picture the dead guy with long blonde hair. |

Well for the first one I think I actually read somewhere that they did identify him and was a young man who suffered from Schizophrenia and he actually believed he was being stalked, although it was all in his mind. A very sad case, anyone got some more on this?

http://www.geocities.com/jcramsey_2000/jd.html The second one involved Dr. Richard Boggs and John Hawkins. They are thought to have killed this innocent man to pass him off as Hawkins business partner (I'm thinking Henry Ellis Green may have been the name) in order to collect a life insurance policy. Dr. Boggs was arrested and Hawkins was eventually arrested in Italy I believe. This case was also made into a movie where Antonio Sabato Jr. played the role of John Hawkins. It was called "If Looks Could Kill: From The Files of America's Most Wanted". John Walsh even acted in the movie. |

Btw has anyone every watched that movie about John Hawkins? I hear that John Walsh's acting was just a little short of Oscar worthy.
