azdave35,
You are absolutely right, Ruth talked too much about his maps and his intentions to the WRONG people.
Also right about the use of a firearm. Had he simply perished from the Sun or fallen off a cliff he may never have made the front page.
Also right on that list of possible suspects but add to that suspect list, George Bashford, the man Erwin Ruth didn't interview because he didn't think he played a role.
