Daily News account (http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/sexy-dutch-economist-accused-stalking-admirer-brooklyn-plumber-posted-5-000-bail-article-1.1391149) includes a very nice photo of Alfonso in an Earhart Project T-Shirt.

Mr Alfonso is a TIGHAR member.  There's a message here but I'm not sure what it is.

I don't think it's a good message to send out. To the public it looks like TIGHAR is bailing out a stalker. YMMV.

LOL!  It does?? Because Mr. Alonso happens to be wearing his TIGHAR T-shirt it looks like he is acting in an official capacity for TIGHAR?  I don't think so.  I'd say Mr. Alonso's actions are quite generous and altruistic.  Perhaps that's a trait that is typical of people who join TIGHAR.  BTW, I don't see your name on the membership list.

And after that comment Mr. Gillespie, you now expect me to cough up money for you? I don't think so.

I don't expect anyone to cough up money for me.

He was captured in a photo doing something while wearing a TIGHAR tshirt. I seriously doubt there's anything nefarious behind it .
