Washington investigators doubt Howard Hughes remains alive with IRS weighing the case to declare him dead amid a possible phantom empire. A leaked memo details a plan to substitute a double and move Hughes to a foreign country to dodge searches and taxes while insiders recall a secretive Las Vegas exit in 1970 and limited trusted access afterward. The story traces visits by officials and a clampdown by authorities over a rumored $2 billion fortune.
The report notes Howard Hughes, graybearded and fully alert, met in London in March 1973 with insiders about stock deals and his passport status. It mentions a 1972 Managua earthquake, a denied passport replacement, a 1972 NYC meeting with Julie Sedimayr and I. Courtney Ivey, and a SEC request to prove Hughes was alive. Tax issues are cited with a $7 million liability once, and some years with unsigned returns.
