my favorite gameshow host was Bob Saget

I've always been kinda partial to Chuck Barris.

Yeah, it was pretty newsworthy in those days because of her father's clean image and all that. His daughter was depressed and climbed out the kitchen window while a friend was there and fell to her death. Linkletter went on a tirade against LSD saying that she was on it and thought she could fly when it was proven that she had no drugs in her system. Linkletter changed his story saying that she had a flashback moment and that caused her to jump. The stories kept getting weirder and more desperate with tales of her taking heroin at 13 and other nonsense. It went on to the point when he was made fun of mercilessly - especially after releasing over-the-top books and at least one LP.

The pain of losing a loved one, especially a child, can make a person quite delusional and grasping for conclusions.

For years I thought the Bob Barker prison clothes story was a thing, but thanks to the internet I now know better.

I meet this person once in Hastings... and she had some Mental Issues. She had tried to fly out of a window twice in her young life. She was not on any drugs, just would act like it..
She had broken bones and a stretch in care..A real bad Mood disorder to have to live with that....
She said she remembers it happening, but cant do anything to stop it.

Gotta get those chemicals balanced I guess.

I knew about the LSD story (It was the hippie era of course). I didn't know the young woman's death had nothing to do with LSD in the end. It is true Linkletter got a lot of ridicule over his reactions though. Anyway, you learn something new every day.

yes that would be the thing....not as easy as pie...
