Listened to the story develop on the news last night. He goes missing for 5 years. 6 weeks before he shows up at a London police station (with no memory) his wife disappears to some unknown destination (without telling her kids) leaving 15 skips of effects behind her. Coincidence or what.
Come on sleuths. Maybe she has taken little Maddy with her!! eeek:
-
Personally I say leave it to the insurance companies that will have paid out on his life policies when she had him declared dead.
-
She vanished after 5 years to destination unknown to her family when he turned up 6 weeks later/..................?
Collaboration?
-
I thought she had gone to Panama
-
Or Jamaica, or NZ, or......................
-
I think we have the answer to the "Where's Berek" conundrum. whistle:
-
SOLVED!
noooo:
-
I thought she had gone to Panama
They just found her in Panama (as opposed to in a Panama although if it is hot down there she might well be…).
Anyway, she says she claimed the insurance ‘in good faith’.
rubschin:
-
And now he has been arrested!
-
And now he has been arrested!
mornin'
He was staying with his brother?
It beggars belief that he hadn’t mentioned it to his wife… noooo:
Also, she says she will pay the insurance back…. of course, of course… that’s why you’ve moved to Panama to ease the transaction no doubt.
-
And now there is a picture of the pair of them in Panama last year!!

Nooooooooooooo! Where? eeek:

It turns out that John Darwin did a stint as a dentist in the late 70's. 25-odd years later he suddenly felt huge remorse for violating one of his patients. He was now working for the government and revealed his dark secret to them. They suggested he "did a Reggie" and would contact him as and when they needed him ( i.e. - a story in the media to deflect public attention from the catastrophic fuck-ups that were bound to happen under either a Brown or Blair administration.)
And that, dear readers, is how he came to walk into a London Police station over the weekend.
True.
Now I'm going for a pint.

Back on topic for a moment if we may?
It seems the red-tops found the picture of them together in Panama by doing a searchj on Google! What a pair of half-wits! point:
My prediction is that he goes to jail for fraud, she sells he story to The Sun for £100K, pays back the insurance and lives happily ever after in Panama with ‘Manuel’ (‘til the money runs out of course). whistle:
-
But why did he give himself up!?!?!?!? eeek:

I suspect it was part of the "plan" so that he could rejoin Mrs Darwin in Panama for a new life. Idiots! It came unravelled so quickly.....
Must learn from this when I try it.
-
But why did he give himself up!?!?!?!? eeek:
I reckon they were shacked-up together in Panama, sold the house, just claimed the insurance and he found her at it with Manuel – thought he would come back and spoil the party or some such… whistle:
Tough on his old man tho… noooo:
-
And his sons.
-
I suppose he must have been in hiding for the past years while she played the bereaved wife role… She then says ‘oh well I need to move on’, sells the house and moves to Panama (as you do).
Perhaps when they met up in Panama she says that she was much happier while he was ‘dead’…
-
He's barmey .... plain and simple .... wait for the trial ~ if there is one. ::)
-
No no no. He wanted to do the hero's return bit and then join her in Panama, otherwise why feign amnesia?
-
No no no. He wanted to do the hero's return bit and then join her in Panama, otherwise why feign amnesia?
rubschin:
If the ‘amnesia’ story holds he escapes prosecution for fraud… she would have to pay back the insurance and he could ask for a 50% share in the proceeds from the home.
He would then be in the clear and he would have farked-up her new life… with Manual… the pool cleaner prolly… whistle:

As I say… he goes into hiding for four years, she sells up and moves to Panama and he joins her (which says a lot for passport controls, etc.) to continue their happy life together. Anyway, that is where it all goes wrong…
TBH looking at the ugly munter he would have been better off starting his own life somewhere else without her.

Donald Rumsfeld made a speech about WMDs in which he said:
"There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns," he said.

Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know.

Oh all the usual ~ She has noooooooooooooo life because I am such a bad parent that I wont let her roam the streets of Prestatyn with persons unspecified until at least 11pm "Like ALL my friends do".
A reminder from me that she has had me acting as a taxi for the past 8 evenings in a row and hasn't once said thank you.
My refusal to allow her to wear make-up (Ah La Alice Cooper) to school.
My refusal to allow her to wear jewelery and jeans to school instead of the uniform
My insistence that she WILL tidy her room
All Soooooooooooooo unfair!!! sad32: sad32: sad32: sad32:
In the end I told her to shut up or I'd smack her silly face so I'm also accused of violence and child abuse. I 'spect she is telling Esther Ranzen all about me right now.
I know she has the painters in ~ why can't she accept that and move on?

Oh I know ~ I've been here before don't forget ... her big sister was on the 'phone at the weekend complaining about her daughter (who is four months younger and equally hormonal).

Oh dear. The Boy is now demanding to go out with various dodgy friends. I say no. He is still biddable, and he won't have the painters, but testosterone beckons. Tough times

Yeah ~ it ain't easy but you have to give them a bit of rope ... the hard bit is knowing how much.
As I told mine last night ~ I don't mind you having friends and I don't want to "vet" them but nor do I want to be explaining to a policeman why I had no idea where my child was or who she was with.
The problem is every inch you yield they will take a yard ~ You know that and factor it into the equation but then they try taking the whole mile long before they are ready.
Again, as I said last night ~ I expect my kids to sh*t on me but I'm damned if I will let them rub it in.
After all a joke's one thing but a bloody full comic opera is going a tad too far.
I feel better now ~ must be the Chicken Soup and good company here. cloud9:

Now the sons have disowned the parents and she is, allegedly, en route to Heathrow. This is all rather entertaining spider:

What a silly expression "Disown" is ... how the hell do you disown someone? You don't own them in the first place.
"Want nothing more to do with" surely expresses the situation better but I suppose it is not anywhere near as dramatic.

disown
verb
To refuse to recognize or acknowledge: deny, disacknowledge, disavow, disclaim, reject, renounce, repudiate. Idioms: turn one's back on. See accept/reject.

Yes I know all that but IMHO it is still a damn silly expression ~ and overuse in this context makes me think two things. That the sons are busy organising their own lifeboat and secondly that it is being bandied about purely for dramatic impact, which it will rapidly not have if they keep it up.
Mrs S#1 used to frequently fall out with members of her family and would announce that she was "Washing her hands of them" ~ again I understood what she meant but I still felt that to be a silly phrase as well ~ particularly as she said it so often of so many that (i) it lost all impact and (ii) she must have had the cleanest hands in the country.
-
Now we hear he was living in a bedsit in the family home hidden behind a wardrobe!
And why do they keep calling him a "canoeist"? It's hardly a profession, is it?
-
I 'spect their lawyers have advised that "Fraud" might lead them into trouble with the courts if this ever gets that far ~ though from the safety of Florida the "Red Tops" interviewing Mrs Canoeist are certainly creating enough ammunition for any defence barrister to be able to argue a case for dismissal of any charges that may be brought .... which may of course all be part of the plan.

Did you watch HIGNFY last night? They dealt with your question and seemed agreed that Canoeist was indeed probably the best term to be used as any other description AT THIS TIME would either render the media liable to charges/court actions or be so long winded as to not fit the headlines. Merton, in particular, went into a lengthy rambling description of what the man could be called and came back to canoeist being the one most likely to be recognised by the public.
Meanwhile Mrs Darwin has fled Panama and is, apparently, enjoying the hospitality of a Florida hotel, courtesy of a UK Tabloid newspaper. where she is unburdening her soul to the eager journalists who are texting the copy back to the UK for publication. ~ See today's Daily Mirror, Sun, etc. No doubt the NOW will have it all tomorrow. Her revelations, now in the public domain, will surely provide any defence barrister, should Mr Darwin face charges, with many a legal argument about prejudiced juries, previous knowledge of the case by the aforementioned jurists etc etc etc. leading to a probable ruling that a fair trial is not possible or if one proceeds than they will use these arguments in their inevitable appeal.
I wonder if this is not a deliberate attempt by her to ensure (i) a continued flow of cash and (ii) to deflect or at least spoil any possible criminal proceedings against her and/or her husband. The newspapers, by carrying the stories from the USA, have presumably been assured by their lawyers that they are safe to conduct these interviews and publish them which would certainly not be the case were she in the UK at this time.

Err ~ Not out of my pocket they haven't .... if you are alluding to insurance fraud and the knock on effect of increased premiums for everyone ..... I don't have any insurance, can't buy it because of the heart condition. Yes anything is buyable if you have enough money ~ but I don't.

The 70K for the search came from your pocket and mine. The cost of the police inquiry and subsequent trial will come from your pocket and mine. The cost of insurance - you have a car and a house? I assume they are insured - is spread across all risks, not just the life insurance element. You can't get life insurance - and that cannot be nice - but everything else you have that is insured is affected.
Perhaps this thread should now be moved to the Commons?

Thieves. Liars. Criminals. Burn them.
I will - of course - enjoy the show, as long as the finale is fitting...
And my premium for the motorbike, car and house + contents has gone down this year, possibly because of my age and possibly because of the success of the "Q match" system operated by all insurance companies, to reduce fraud. Possibly because of postcode - I cannot speak for the postcode of kennels in Wales :-)

I watched some ‘police chase action’ malarkey on the telly the other evening – they chased a guy that had stolen a car, had not driving licence, caused damage to many cars in the chase, knocked an 80 y/o off his bike then dumped the car and fled the scene. It was a member of the public that followed him, and led the police to him…
His sentence? Well, he won’t be sentenced ‘cos he skipped bail and hasn’t been seen since.
The country has gone mad…
