Malaysian pilot got call from someone using phone obtained under false identity
2014-03-24
[Jihad Watch] "The discovery raises fears of a possible link between Captain Zaharie, 53, and terror groups whose members routinely use untraceable SIM cards." However, like everything else surrounding this plane's disappearance and the subsequent investigation, it is inconclusive.

"Police hunt mystery woman who made final phone call to doomed jet captain as first picture emerges of his estranged wife and family," by Simon Parry for the Daily Mail, March 23 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

#4  Uncle P - you're getting close to what I have been wondering for a while - supposing someone just wanted to disappear a whole plane? Fly 180 degrees off course toward Antarctica. No one would ever find you - or the innocents you took with you.

That might be more terrifying than anything we've seen so far.

#3  ..Capt. Shah getting a little side action? Got caught? Selfish wife moved out with the kids? G-friend called using the subject phone giving him the thumb also? Distraught Capt. offed himself and everyone on the a/c? Seems to cover all the bases. Maybe..

#2  You can here too. They ask for a phone number to register the pre-paid phone, but give them a bogus one and $60 cash and you have your phone with no record to you.

#1  Hey wow, there's phones in Malaysia sold without a paper trail. I'm shocked. (I should get one...)
