Canoeist John Darwin was last seen in a red canoe in March 2002. Police found only his smashed canoe and a row. Last night he walked into West End central police station in London. His family was very glad to hear these news and it's the best Christmas present they could ask for. It's still not clear where John was living or what he was doing these 5 years.

Here's the full story

  • 5 years is a long time, he could have called the police or his family, to let them know where he is
  • It is obvious that he and his wife are two sketchy individuals. He was apparently trying to escape a large amount of debt, and didn't want to be tracked through contact with relatives or friends. His wife, it seems, finally cashed in on his life insurance, sold the houses, tranferred funds to an offshore acct, and skipped town for good. It's ironic that he came back home only a month after his wife left. And the dumb bastard turned himself into police. You can't make up a story this good

  • THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE GREATEST ESCAPE! THE HUSBAND, MISSING THEN DECLARED DEAD! THE POOR WIDOW, HEART BROKEN SO SHE CASHES IN THEN UPS AND LEAVES. IT REALLY WOULD HAVE WORKED, AND NO ONE WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THEY BOTH RE-STARTED THEIR LIFE ABROAD, WITH WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A VERY HEFTY AMOUNT OF INSURANCE MONEY. HOWEVER THATS WERE THEIR AMAZING BRAIN POWER STARTED GOING DOWN HILL, OF ALL THE PLACES THE BLOKE DECIDES TO TURN UP...HE CHOSE THE POLICE STATION! HAHA! CLEARLY THE MONEY DID GO TO THEIR HEADS AND THEY COULDNT THINK STRAIGHT ANYMORE! BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME, CHUM-P

  • no need to cap it. And yes, this all looks like a big fraud, and if it was, i don't understand why he returned at all. There is a photo of him and his wife taken a year ago in panama.
