Until investigators find the body (if ever) there will be 1000's of conspiracy nuts insisting that he bailed out of the aircraft before it crashed to live a secret life with his mistress.  Let's hope there is full closure to this unfortunate accident soon.

From what news reports are saying, this part of the country wouldn't provide a body.  Too much wildlife...............

Not just that, but there's a weather system coming in Friday that will make it even more difficult than it already is. So today would be their best bet to find anything. So we'll hear more on this in the next 24 hours.

The story IS intriguing but I'm reserving my specualtions until I read the full NTSB report regarding the aircraft itself. Aside from any mystery, I would initially say possible catastrophic failure in flight or incapacitated pilot.
