napaguy99 0 #1 June 16, 2004 As I was driving to Ohio last weekend I heard something on Bob and Tom about a guy jumping from a helicopter at about 4000' over the Grand Canyon. They figured it was a suicide, but they haven't found the body yet. Has anybody heard anything about this or does anyone have any more info? I was thinking maybe it was someone who really really wanted to do a Grand Canyon jump and just hid their rig well. "Let the misinterpretation and attacks begin."
