Several people saw a man plunge from an airplane—with no parachute!

Yet, despite the best efforts of the good folk of Egg Harbor Township, they cannot find his body!

EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP — Police suspended the search for a person who witnesses say fell from a plane without a parachute Tuesday afternoon.

An extensive aerial and ground search for the person was halted at dusk.

Egg Harbor Township police received reports from three “credible witnesses” at Shore Veterinarians North on the Black Horse Pike that a person appeared to be free-falling from the sky, but did not have a parachute, Capt. Michael Morris said. A news release further described the person as falling headfirst, with the body at a slight angle.

Police launched a ground search. But after finding nothing, authorities began searching from the air using State Police and U.S. Coast Guard helicopters, Morris said.

If he was falling at a 60 degree angle, then the answer’s easy – it was clearly Professor Tony Farms, aka The Puma Man.

You left out the only person who can solve this mystery:

Adrian Monk.

[Spud]

I believe it was caused by Lupus.

[engineer_comp_geek]

It’s never Lupus.

Any ponds around?, maybe he is stuck in the mud.

I’m betting it was creepy, old Farmer mcGee that we met at the begining of the episode.

Either that or Special Guest Star Don Knotts!

I bet Bugs Meany pushed someone out of the plane. That means only Encyclopedia Brown can crack the case.

They were confused by his wing suit?

Was it a prank - could have been a shop dummy that exploded on impact.

Or could have been a human-shaped block of ice for the underside of a jet, which would have a) exploded and/or b) melted when it hit the ground.

Seriously, this is a puzzle.

What happened to the guy?

And, why no chute?

Unless he was pushed out without one.
