Five Governors Lead Lost Aviator Posse in 1920s Mystery
Discovery of Leon Klink's fate unfolds as a sprawling 1920s barnstorming tale. Governors of five states, Senator Barry Goldwater, and the Texas Rangers pursued clues from Missouri to California. A stalled Lindbergh linked flight, greased wheels, and a Camp Wood crash halted the Canuck. Evidence later ties Klink to a Missouri directory listing as a retired dealer in St. Louis.
