I'd kind of buy that theory if he was the pilot and it was a solo fatality crash but kudos to him if he actually figured out to have the pilot 'die'

and go off the grid with him
Plus it's gotta be tough enough to find one body to match with a person and it seems like it would be geometrically more difficult to find two bodies to fake two deaths
There's also the aero nerd / Air Disaster fan part of me that is trying to picture this part of that all too brief recap.
"The fuselage continued west for another 1,000 to 1,500 yards before crashing."
that's after “the wings of the aircraft became detached from the fuselage and fell to the ground in an orchard,”
So like, at what altitude and airspeed did the wings become detached that allow the fuselage to continue for over half a mile.
Hmmm.....well I guess the fuselage would have the powerplant so you'd still have thrust. The lift part of the airplane equation would suck and be pretty much zero without wings so gravity is super winning that part of the controlled flight equations but there's still power so forward still works and bizarrely might be better? No wings, less drag?
Oh, wait. Circling back around to original theory...oh, maybe the doctor really wants out of his current life and doesn't give a damn about the pilot so the pilot does die in the crash an uh, the doctor convinced a suicidal doplenganger to hire the pilot to go on the flight where he has rigged the plane he built to spontaneously lose its wings?
