Bump for a confusing case..

Yes, i too am a little confused..
So his plane was sold years AFTER he disappeared? I would assume a title would need to be signed over to the new owner...who's signature is it? Kenneth?
Was it forged?

Looks like it last flew on June 15th, 1980. But are we sure it was Brodacki who flew that day? I would love to know where to, and if it was a return trip.

Notice how Kenneth is associated with the plane? Nothing about ownership or registration.

I am assuming that he was associated because he was one of the pilots contracted to fly the plane, but the plane itself was registered to a FL company, which went on to sell the plane in 2006.
