Anyone remember this story, or outcome? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Does anyone remember the segment (Originally aired 9-16-1992) about an unidentified man who tried hitching a ride underneath an airplane at the Paducah, KY airport. He was blown out from underneath when the plane took off and fell to his death. There was an update aired on Dec. 30, 1993. Does anyone know if the man was ever identified? Or what happened to this case? Thanks!

I do remember that case. I "think" there was a weird twist to the case, something like the i.d. the guy had on him didnt pan out or something odd. Last time I saw the rerun there was no update.

Yes, I believe there was something about dog tags being sewn into the collar of the jacket he was wearing. I think the name on them was Scott Alexander, but apparently these dog tags did not belong to the man wearing the jacket. I was wondering if anyone had heard anything else, or is this person just a "john doe" now?

I think they identified the man. There was an update a few weeks ago but I don't remember his name. i may be thinking of a different case though.

He was positively identified as Brian Stanley Duecker in 1999 (eight years after his death). His identity was comfirmed via his fingerprints.

Here's a link dedicated to him:

Hope this helps.

Thank you guys, for all your help! What a quick response! I had a friend from Cincinnati go missing in 1991. I had wondered for a long time about this unidentified man. But according to his death date and name, I am reasonably sure this is not him. Thanks so much!
