So why did she call the police? I'll bet 2 stacks of beer you are wrong.

Best place to hide is church or library. They'd never look there.

Surely an infra-red camera would have been useful.

But just to 'give up' must have distressed the wife.

Is this story related to other on drowning?

[Asiantravel]

This brings back wonderfully vivid memories of this 1970's TV show

Maybe she discovered that his life insurance is not written to her favour, this is a real reason to be afraid.
