Conjecture on global rigidity of 2-edge-apex graphs

From papers

Let G=(V,E)G=(V,E) be a graph. A framework is globally R3\mathcal{R}_3-rigid if every framework in R3\mathbb{R}^3 with the same edge lengths differs from it by a composition of isometries. The graph GG is 2-edge-apex if deleting two edges makes it planar. Then GG is globally R3\mathcal{R}_3-rigid if and only if GG is 4-connected and

Ge is R3-rigid for all edges eE.G-e\text{ is }\mathcal{R}_3\text{-rigid for all edges }e\in E.

This would extend the preceding characterization from edge-apex graphs to 2-edge-apex graphs. The supplied text provides no proof or resolution of the assertion.
