EXPLORER'S SON FOUND DEAD OF MALNUTRITION
Published: Oct 9, 1988, 12:00 a.m. MDT
By Associated Press
The son of Admiral Richard E. Byrd, the polar explorer, has been found dead of malnutrition and dehydration in a warehouse three weeks after he disappeared from a Washington-bound train, officials said.
Richard E. Byrd Jr., 68, left Boston on Sept. 13 to attend a ceremony at National Geographic Society headquarters in Washington honoring his father with a new stamp.He never arrived and his whereabouts was a mystery for three weeks.
"I put him on a train and my wife was supposed to meet him," his son, Leverett Byrd of Needham, Mass., told The (Baltimore) Sun in a story published Saturday. "What happened in between, I don't know. It's very strange, this whole thing. We're trying to come to grips with it."
"He idolized his father. The main focus of his life was to continue what my grandfather started," said Leverett Byrd, one of Byrd's four sons.
Edit to add- Just found this newspaper article pdf from 1988. It's difficult to read in places but fascinating.
His son was actually with Admiral Byrd during Operation Highjump.
Some say the earth is MUCH larger than we've been taught. Still the same oblate spheroid or whatever, but MUCH bigger...Who knows. Maybe Mars etc is on THIS planet and they've been sending rockets WAY over there...Something to consider...I don't have the answer
The perimeter is pretty much off limits to exploration so we have no idea what the hell is out there.
I just have a hunch we're going to run in to some very strange creatures out there if we're allowed to poke our nose around and see what's really out there.
I'm really interested to seeing what the Germans the World war II Germans were up to out there and what they discovered.
Enough coal just laying there to power America for hundreds of years
Warm climate "oasis" with liquid freshwater @ 39F from airplane (landed)
A piece of land greater in size than the United States that no man has ever set foot on, beyond the South pole

Re-dedicated on the summer solstice June 21, they do like their dates and symbolism. 🙄

This is an incredible story and I had no idea this happened! Thank you for sharing this with us!
It sounds like someone took him out to keep him quiet. 💔🤬 Abduct him and lock him up in the warehouse to kill him.
What's your theory?
Yes dear fren! High marks for High Jump! 😉👏🏔️🐧
Cheers. You came up with a great OP.
Thanks Joe!
You're welcome.
high jump link, go to minute 49:00
Yup...
Thought that's what it was...
I've seen this production at least 10x lol
Well that makes two of you.
How could a piece of land be bigger than America Beyond the S. Pole?
No idea...
UNLESS....We've been lied to about EVERYTHING...
BUT they would do that, right? RIGHT?
Some say the earth is MUCH larger than we've been taught. Still the same oblate spheroid or whatever, but MUCH bigger...Who knows. Maybe Mars etc is on THIS planet and they've been sending rockets WAY over there...Something to consider...I don't have the answer
Cool conjecture fren...👏

But we’d see too far and NASA would have to fake lots of …. Oh wait.
