The news stated that the children of this guy who disappeared 5 years ago are not happy that their mother kept his reappearance a secret from them.

Never mind them !!!!!!!!

Think of the poor s*ds who will have this guy in their family tree. Does the first death cert get cancelled or does it stay on file, and if it stays on file how do your record two death dates. lol. OMG so pleased it's not one of my ancestors.

T.O.R. ;o))

Maybe he will have to reregister, that means he will have 2 birthdays, but he could choose another name, ............ perhaps Reggie Perrin !

Not sure what's going on TOR but it's fishy for definate, apparently there's a picture circulating from last year of him in Panama with his wife and a property developer. Sounds like an insurance scam to me. fakes his own death an all.
I am intruiged by it i must admit

sorry belle just noticed your reply-
yes it is very strange, the police are apparently are appealing for anyone that knows of his whereabouts in the last 5 yrs to come forward. shame the sons were led to believe he was dead when the wife apparently knew he was alive-must be hard on them. It's like living a total lie I suppose.Thing is he must have gone somewhere.

Sons might have said they have disowned him but seemingly LARGE sums of money have been moved from their bank accounts to accounts in Panama. ???

Ooooh now as I understood it from yesterdays news, the sons haven't got a clue whats going on, but said IF its true their mother has confessed to this, then they too have been the victims of a massive scam.

I find it hard to imagine any mother could tell her sons their father is dead knowing he wasn't, so i'm not sure they didn't know either.

They did say if its true then they want nothing more to do with either of them.

The plot thickens....

And the plot thickens.


Copied and pasted from Sky News.

There are reports that both sons had by coincidence recently given up their jobs.

Mark quit his software developer's post at the end of November and Anthony left his job as an insurance broker in August.

Mark is said to have cleared his flat in Finchley, north London, in the middle of the night - leaving behind coded instructions for his girlfriend Felicia Witts and directions to London City airport.

Notes reportedly included references to Panama.

In that case, it seems the whole family were obviously in on it.

What a scam.....I reckon, if the police had recently re-opened the case they got scared. Maybe they got too close to the truth. If one son is an insurance broker then he will know all the tricks of the trade.....

So....crime doesn't pay.
