[Dixielandjazz] Alternate "Story" About Glenn Miller's Demise?

[Hal Vickery]

I once saw Elvis in a McDonald's in Dearborn, MI, but he told me not to
reveal it because he was working undercover for the FBI.  Also the last I
heard JFK is still a vegetable in a hospital at an undisclosed location. 

>From all I've read, etc., the most credible story of Miller's death is that
his plane was the one the bombs fell on.

About Glen Miller..............

As a kid growing up in S. CA, my folks were friends with a reporter from the
Long Beach-Press Telegram. I remember him telling us that Miller was alive,
but a basket case in a VA hospital in CA. He continued to tell us Miller had
lost both arms and legs in the Channel when his plane went down. He was told
by the State Dept. not to reveal the story to his paper.......and so it
goes. Maybe ?

  Martin,
     
    Apparently there are almost as many myths/legends about Miller's death
as there are about Elvis.  The shortest explanation of the mystery is this
excerpt from the US News website at www.usnews.com :
     
     
    
  Glenn Miller
  1904-1944. American bandleader and composer. 
    OFFICIAL CAUSE OF DEATH: Flying to Paris to plan a Christmas concert for
the troops, he crashed in the English Channel in a dense fog. The Nazis
claimed Miller's death in a Paris brothel was covered up by the Allies. No
one believed them.   BUT: An RAF logbook shows a fighter jettisoned unused
bombs, accidentally hitting a plane. Was it Miller's?

    Listmates,

  I heard a story from one of my fellow patients at the local
  cardiac "rehab" place this week. It was an alternative to the
  story of Miller's plane disappearing on a flight, and presumed
  lost with Miller on board. I won't repeat the details of this
  "other version" lest it be untrue. I only wonder if anyone
  has ever heard of another credible story of Glenn Miller's
  death?
