OMG imagine your husband disappearing, presumed dead and he turns up again 5 years later

[wannaBe]

Crikey! Isn't it exciting! As someone said i's like an Enid Blyton mystery. Can't wait for the next chapter!

apparently the wife has given interviews to some other newspapers so someone must know where she is?

The kids must know surely? or did she just take off and not tell her own children where she was going?

apparently the family have declined to be interviewed .

Very very odd!!

Buda you're rught there's a film/book in there somewhere.He 'll probably write it inside & come out & appear on all the chat shows like Aitkin & Archer did!

I thought right from when I heard the wife had suddenly sold up and moved that this was a bit fishy.

Apparently there is a photo taken a year ago of the two of them together.

The fact that she says she took the insurance money in good faith tells me she knows that this is all wrong.

I feel for his poor father. 90 years old and being kep in the dark about this.

I'm liking the sceptical aunt in all this. Who do you think it gonig to play her in the film?

Unless he washed up on Mars after the canoe trip someone had to have clothed and fed him and given him money - at least for a day or so. Then they would've informed the police.
So obviously a con. But why come forward now? Why not go and live together in obscurity in Panama? Or do we think they've fallen out and he can't access the money so he's embarrassing her into having a lovey-dovey reunion?

He's been arrested for fraud now.

BBC news website has got a photo of him and his wife in Panama taken in 2006!!

I reckon they think she's beyond the long arm of the law and the insurance company in Panama - bet they don't have an extradition treaty. So he may go to jail for a year but then can go and live with wifey in the sun and loads of money.

there is an extradition treaty with panama

but they have to have evidence not just on suspicion

people dont actuall y have that kind of amnesia do they the kind that feeds them and gives them a healthy tan

Hey threadworm, is Seaton Carew that bad then?

Ok the cast for the film then?

Him- David Suchet

Her- Thelma Barlow (?Mavis from Corrie)

Sons- drool.....Damien Lewis & an other unknown who will be catapulted to stardom.

Wise Aunty- Judi Dench

Cynical Chief Policeman- Neil Pearson

Any other takers...while we wait for the story to unfold??

Him - Chris Langham
Her - Amanda Redman

wise aunty - Madge from neighbours

you lot are funny

I was thinking the late Hilda Braid would have made a good sceptical aunt - you know the type that seems not very with it but says exactly what everyone else was thinking but is constrained by social politeness from saying.

Guy who is JRR Hartley in the ads for the aged father just touched to see his son again.

Perfect Anchovy!!

Madge & Amanda Redman -far too classy!!(but good)

has he been hanging out with elvis?

Probably donnie, whilst chatting to Lord Lucan & riding Shergar

the radio prog i mentioned in an earlier post also said that his canoe was found washed up weeks after he disappeared.

now back to what the old fishermen said, his canoe should have resurfaced within 6 high tides.

so other people are involved in executing his scam and I wouldn't be surprised if it was more than the wife.

The Plot thickens.........
