Husband Fakes Drowning to Escape Wife

[Burroughs]

....and keep the money presumably

This is some interesting $hit...

"An aggrieved New York woman has told police that her husband faked his own drowning to collect on a life insurance policy and to abandon his marriage.
"This is a terrible nightmare that I just want to wake up from,'' 43-year-old Evana Roth told the New York Post. "Why did he do this? I think I'm just numb.''

On Sunday, July 29, Raymond Roth, 47, told his wife that he was going for a swim at nearby Jones Beach and would be back in about an hour. However, his son claims that his dad disappeared while out on the water and never returned.

However, Evana Roth says she discovered emails allegedly sent from Raymond to her stepson Jonathan, 22, outlining details of his staged disappearance. After finding the details, Evana then contacted Raymond's brother and the police.

"I need to get to the bank for cash for the trip," Roth allegedly wrote in one email. In others, he instructs his son to not allow his wife to sell their house."

damn that's a movie right there!

I often wonder if there was a 'run away for free day' for men with no alimony or payments of any kind should the men leave on that day...how many of these dudes in 'happy marriages' wouldn't be long gone....:rock: ....and women could do this too...they would just have to forgo the cash prizes marriage would provide and these $$wives$$ today are not trying to do that.
