Alpizar Was A Calm Man;
Family Making Arrangements For
Repatriation
Though the widow of Rigoberto
Alpizar, the Costa Rican born
man who lived in the United
States and gunned down at the
Miami airport by US Marshals,
doesn't still understand what
really happened to her husband,
the process to repatriate the
body to Costa Rica is almost
complete.
Authorities continue to insist
that the man claimed to have a
bomb causing the tragic
accident. However, witnesses on
the airplane tell a different
story.
American Airlines passenger John
Mcalhany told news reporters
that he was sitting in a seat
close to Alpizar and overheard
the man telling his wife that
"he had to get off the plane",
later bumping into him and
stumbling over several
stewardesses in his attempt to
leave the aircraft.
Mcalhany said that the first
time he heard a bomb mentioned
is when FBI agents questioned
him, assuring that the federal
agents kept asking him over and
over if had heard the word bomb
at any time.
Other passengers told that
Alpizar was calm before boarding
the flight.
Costa Rica's Channel 7 news "telenoticias"
sent a team to Miami to
investigate and spoke with
Alpizar's wife, Anne Bekner, who
didn't discuss the event in
detail, but was emphatic that
her husband was a calm man.
