Episode notes

It's a story that reads like the plot of reality show. Self-styled adventurer, former State Department employee, self-proclaimed fluent Russian speaker, Blaine Alan Gibson, found dozens of pieces from the doomed Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. Sometimes with a camera crew in tow. Often in places that had been extensively scoured with a fine-tooth comb.

Was Gibson the luckiest adventure seeker ever? Was he a Russian spy? Listen as Jeff and Andy play never-before-heard interviews with Blaine and a Russian "friend" who allegedly met Gibson when he was "in Siberia on business trips." If nothing else, Gibson's resumé seems a little too good to be true.

Or is it?

Whether or not you believe Jeff's theory that this wreckage was planted and conveniently found by Gibson, his peculiar back story definitely raises some questions.
