Malaysian police have expanded an investigation into the missing plane to include ground crew, caterers and the farmers who picked four tons of mangosteens, a tropical fruit, that were in the hold.

Despite failing to find any suspicious evidence about the passengers or crew, Khalid Abu Bakar, Malaysia’s police chief, said he was confident that the case would be solved. He said police traced the mangosteens, a tangy Asian fruit with leathery skin around juicy white flesh, to an orchard in the city of Muar and examined both the farmers and the Chinese importers.

“Imagine how many people we must interview to rule out sabotage,” he said.

“We tracked down who plucked the fruits, who packed and shipped them out, and who put them on the plane. Then, we had to see who was to receive them in China and who paid for it, and how much.”

What about a pointed stick?

The signs all pointed to a rogue mangosteen farmer.

I’d say you’ve had enough!

I think “mangosteens” is code for cousin Anwar and his “friends” — tangy Asian fruits with leathery skin around juicy white flesh.

[dfwgator]

S’pose he’s got a bunch?

They need to find out how many people on the plane had chicken for dinner.....and how many had the fish.

I’m beginning to believe the “mother ship” explanation. OTOH, there is some yahoo who claims Israel is behind it. And a different one that says it is the US Gov’t doing military exercises and Diego Garcia.

So it may not be a fruitless search after all....

Well, there were plenty of mangosteens...

They all had fast food that was quickly digestible --

We have one sort of like this..... have had it for 50 years

They're investigating much too fast. I only hope China or Pakistan didn't torture the passengers before they killed them.
