A new twist has emerged in the missing Malaysia Airline plane mystery following reports of a mystery woman, who reportedly had a telephonic conversation with the flight captain before take-off.
Investigators have found that the pilot Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah took a two-minute phone call from an unknown woman, whose mobile number was obtained under a false identity.
The revelation was made after Shah's phone records were checked for any possible clues that could help solve the mystery of the missing plane.
According to News.com.au, following investigations, police are believed to have traced the number to a shop selling SIM cards in Kuala Lumpur.
The SIM card is said to have been bought recently by someone who submitted a woman's i.d proof to obtain the number.
Meanwhile, the police are reportedly planning on speaking with the pilot's wife following reports about the mystery woman.
A source close to the FBI team said that the whole world is looking for this missing plane and the person who arguably knows most about the state of mind of the man who captained the plane is being left alone.
