The plane traveled in a straight line until fuel ran out and it then crashed in south Dakota

That is just one of many sites you can find about this.
But it doesn't fit the facts(?) involving MH370. They are saying that the aircraft changed course and followed a new set of waypoints foreign to the planned route to Beijing. Also, the transponder did not quit functioning in the Stewart crash, and I'll bet the ELT did activate.
