Alaska is a huge place 21/2 times the size of Texas but this was a massive search and even after 50 years, nothing. They also have lost a bunch of large military transports, I think one had like 50 people on board, not a damn thing ever even after decades.

All I remember about T Wayne Parent’s Louisiana Politics class is Hale Boggs was on his way to becoming Speaker of the House but his place was taken by “an upstart Tip O’Neill” after his death.

U.S. Reps. Hale Boggs and Nick Begich

The disappearance of Boggs, the House Majority Leadermajority leader from Louisiana, and Begich, a freshman congressman from Alaska was one of the first cases to spark widespread interest in the Alaska Triangle. The representatives, as well as an aide, were flying on a small plane between Anchorage and Juneau on October 16, 1972, when the plane disappeared. A massive search and rescue effort was launched but was called off after 39 days. Neither the plane nor the men’s bodies were ever found. The disappearance was the subject of a 17-episode investigative podcast.


Forty-four people on board a U.S. Air Force plane

In 1950, a Douglas C-54 Skymaster left Anchorage bound for Minnesota with 44 people on board—eight crew members, three engineers, 34 service members, and two civilians. The plane was expected to make regular radio contact as it traveled, but all communication stopped shortly after take off, and the plane never arrived in Minnesota. More than 75 U.S. and Canadian aircraft participated in the search for the missing plane, but the aircraft and its passengers were never seen again.

He was on the Warren Commission about JFK’s assassination. Didn’t initially believe single gunman theory, then went back on those comments later. Some think it tied into his disappearance in Alaska.

Fun fact: Boggs was the lone dissenter on the Warren Commission.

Fun fact: Boggs was the lone dissenteron the Warren Commission.


Boggs was the youngest member of the Warren Commission, which, from 1963 to 1964, investigated the assassination of John F. Kennedy.[15] Boggs has been reported to have differing positions regarding the Warren report. Based upon Office of the House Historian and Clerk of the House Office of Art and Archives, Politico reports that "Boggs dissented from the commission's majority report which supported the single bullet thesis — pointing to a lone assassin. Boggs said he "had strong doubts about it".[16] But in a 1966 appearance on Face the Nation, Boggs defended the commission's findings and stated that he did not doubt that Lee Harvey Oswald killed Kennedy.[17][18] He said that all the evidence indicated that Kennedy was shot from behind and that the argument that one bullet hit both Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally was "very persuasive".[18] Boggs took issue with the assertions of Warren Commission critics and stated that it was "human nature" that "many people would prefer to believe there was a conspiracy".[17][18] It is unknown why his position was stated in such opposite terms, but conspiracy theorists have pondered that difference as significant. In Oliver Stone's film JFK it is Sen. Russel Long who prompts Jim Garrison the District Attorney of Orleans Parish to reopen his investigation into Lee Harvey Oswalds activities in New Orleans during the summer of 1963, beginning with association with David W. Ferrie and Guy Bannister. According to author Joan Mellen in her book A Farewell to Justice, Jim Garrison told her it was actually Hale Boggs that prompted him to reopen his investigation into the assassination of the President.

I could not find it but I believe several dozen planes have completely disappeared in that area including several large military planes.

There were some stories that the CIA FBI found evidence that they survived the crash but hid it, no clue why

Fact: JFK criticized and attacked the deep state and even fired the father of the deep state, before getting assassinated.

Fact: Hale Boggs was a dissenter on the Warren Commission and did not buy the narratives that the deep state fed them about the assassination.

Fact: Hale Boggs later publicly criticized the FBI and J. Edgar Hoover.

Fact: Gerald Ford was on the Warren Commission and was a peddler of the deep state narrative.

Fact: Ford worked to remove Boggs and smeared him as being a drunk.

Fact: After some convenient spying, leaks, and indictments happened, Gerald Ford became president without ever being elected as president or vice-president.


Just sayin'..

Guess who cooked up the magic bullet theory

And guess who drove Boggs to the airport for the trip to Alaska.

The first name is fairly well known. The second is universally known outside of uncontacted tribes.
