GOVERNOR’S ‘HIKING’ ALIBI FURTHER UNRAVELS, MAY BE COVER-UP
The mystery into Mark Sanford’s six-day disappearance deepened Tuesday night as new evidence cast further doubt onto the governor’s “hiking” alibi.
CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby tracked down Sanford’s state-issued black Chevy Suburban at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport.
That information would seem to further contradict Sanford’s spokesman’s claim that the governor spent the weekend hiking along the Appalachian Trail — which is roughly a two hour drive north of Atlanta.
Added Hamby:
The SUV is outfitted with blue police lights and two-way radio. Inside the vehicle: A baseball cap, running shoes, sunscreen, a pair of shorts, a canvas bag and a sleeping bag.
A parking permit for the school attended by Sanford’s children is visible on the windshield.
The vehicle was parked in the surface lot at the airport’s main commercial terminal, which Sanford frequently uses to fly out of South Carolina.
For those attempting to keep up, Sanford now apparently hopped on a flight from Columbia, left his cell phone (which was tracked by GPS) somewhere south of Atlanta, then hitched a ride 150 miles to and from the Appalachian Trail to do some writing and hiking, and now he is on his way back to South Carolina.
Something just doesn’t add up here. Anyone who has taken high school philosophy knows the “Occam’s razor” principle and understands that, more often than not, the simplest explanation is often the correct explanation; and folks, the “hiking” explanation is about the farthest from that.
Meanwhile, the state still has no acting chief executive.

The mystery surrounding his whereabouts was called into question after Fox News reported he was visiting a friend in Nevada. Several sources within the infamous Bunny Ranch brothel in Carson City, Nevada stated the Governor was seen “in and out of the establishment over the last several days.”

On Tuesday, sources told News 4’s Nigel Robertson that a state vehicle is missing and was tracked down, not to the Appalachian Trail, but to the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta.
Sources told Robertson that a federal agent spotted Sanford in the airport boarding a plane. Robertson was told that the governor was not accompanied by security detail.
But sources told WYFF News 4 that the federal agent who spotted Sanford saw him at the Atlanta airport, which is about 80 miles from the start of the trail.

Let me tell you what I think they’re going to do next: they are going to try to tell you that Governor Sanford flew from Columbia to Atlanta, boarded a plane in Atlanta, and then flew up north to start hiking the Appalachian Trail up there. After all, he is an avid outdoorsman so he has probably already hiked the Georgia and Tennessee portions of the trail.
Let’s go ahead and save Mr. Sawyer some pain and agony and explain why this one is not going to work: They already told us there is no way in hell he got on that plan in Atlanta. His cell phone signal was last picked up in Atlanta; any airport up north that he went to would have cell signal. If the answer were that simple, they could have just told us that and no one would have cared. But they still have not told us that. So if they decide that is the version of the story they like, I would assume it is just the lie of the day.
Somebody’s got a lot of explaining to do…starting with what happened Thursday night, why the First Lady is so angry, and who the other woman is…
I am beyond sad. I fear something awful and embarassing will come from this and South Carolina is going to look sooooo bad. What are we going to do about this joker? I think it’s about time for us to stand up….

Adam,
I have always thought you did a fine job, but I am disappointed in you now.
Will you post all the WRONG things that have been written about Sanford? Esp the ones that were single sourced and should have never been printed.
Many many wrongs things are now in print…will you please clear them up?
I think this is hilarious! A Government official gave the media, people and personal guards/secret service the slip!
Too funny
Where ever he went I’m sure he had good reason. From other news reports I’ve read, his wife and office staff know where he is.
He went to Russia … http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1243.htm
I am not surprised at Sanford’s situation.. He has appeared to be wacked for a few months yet.. I believe his interview is the beginning of the BIG LIES… with more to come.. He is a liar!!! Who is the woman?
i thought he went to russia to claim political asylum!!!!
