UK police arrest canoeist who vanished
SEATON CAREW, England - Was he a victim of amnesia or a con artist who tried to fake his death to collect life insurance?It reminded me of this gem from 1970's:
Whatever the answer, Britain is captivated by the tale of how John Darwin vanished after paddling into the North Sea in a canoe, was declared dead when its wreckage washed ashore, then turned up five years later at a police station claiming to have lost his memory.
Investigators suspect fraud: They arrested the 57-year-old former prison officer Wednesday on suspicion he faked his death so his wife could cash in on his insurance policy and move to Panama.
Ah, Reg. . . I do know the feeling.
