JFK the smoking gun

Well, since we're on the subject of "what happened to a national leader?", have any of you got any ideas about missing Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt?

On the 17th December 1967, Harold Holt, Prime Minister of Australia, went for a swim on Cheviot Beach near his holiday home at Portsea in Victoria. He disappeared beneath the waves and was never seen again. His companions raised the alarm, and what ensued was one of the largest search and rescue operations Australia has ever witnessed.

Holt’s body was never found, fuelling many theories regarding his disappearance, ranging from suicide to abduction by a Chinese submarine.

I wish I were more on top of national politics. I keep up with ours and our worst enemies (which is pretty much everyone at this point) as best I can, but poor PM Harold Holt slipped through the cracks. How long ago did this happen?
 
I have been assured a by a police diver that crabs are very partial to dead bodies in the ocean...:eek:mg:
 
I totally understand the overdosing on all the JFK programs. I still have 4 to watch, all documentaries, but only watched 1/4 of the movie last Sun w/Rob Lowe. He did an outstanding job! I love the actress, Gennifer something, but to me she didn't capture Jackie at all. I probably won't watch the rest of it, far prefer the old footage (and tons of it there is) of his real life. I'm not nearly as interested in anything written as the real thing.
 
They reran that doco The Smoking Gun here tonight, yep watched it again. I picked up this reference to a book that was written about 10 years ago with the same theory, probably what triggered the detective's line of investigation.
It's called Mortal Error by Bonar Menninger. Looked it up and found this page which gives a good review/overview of it so if anyone is still interested..

I think that's the best they can do on Hoffa, GDAD, but no one's digging.

If it's true that it was "our" accidental, the guy knew. I can't even imagine how he got through the rest of his life.
 
I don't believe the Real Truth is ever going to be known. Theories abound, but they are just theories.
