The 'Strange' Death of Hale Boggs

[Scott Kaiser]

Frank Castro was questioned about my father's whereabouts, Frank said he believed Kaiser went back to Alaska. The FBI had contacted Ft. Richardson where my father had gained access to the base, and according to the FBI documents my father was under investigation for impersonating an officer in the United States Army and had entered Ft. Richardson Army Base on October 1972. There he would remain in Alaska for the next few weeks until the disappearance of Congressman Hale Boggs who was also a member of the Warren Commission. The largest search and rescue operations in Alaska began with the disappearance of Congressmen Hale Boggs (D-LA) and Nicholas Begich (D-K), Russell Brown, aid to Congressman Begich, and their pilot, Don Jonz. They had taken off from Anchorage International Airport in a Cessna 310 for Juneau during the morning after being guest of honor at a fund raiser in Anchorage the evening before. The link below will provide the Aircraft Accident Report. The telephone number 305-443-0232 belonged to Frank Castro. Sure, there was that 1972 plane crash, and there was also that 1976 Cuban airliner that was blown up too.
