Kayaker who faked his own death and fled country appears to be in custody

[@stanford-nf4jk]

He didn’t want to be with his wife anymore? Fine. Divorce her. But to abandon his *children* is the *REAL* messed up thing to do!

[@thedesensitizedsympathizer5307]

Why do so many people not know that the reason why men don't divorce their wifes is because the court is ALWAYS BIASED!!!! The women will get everything and the man loses everything!!!

[@ralphcantrell3214]

Well I guess the family will just have to live with knowing that this dirtbag could do something incredibly cruel and selfish like this to them again at any time.

He wasted police resources , maybe he should have thought it through better. Awful for his wife and children.

Insurance payout to family.

[@abdulwakeel5598]

I bet his family was in on it. It's a smart move. Fake death let them get paid and he live his life with someone else

[@bboppppppppppppp]

why not get divorce?

[@StinsonSwarley]

Probably not to pay allimony, I'm guessing

[@Theeconomist3848]

Child support

[@laurie1536]

From what I've heard ( and the video sstates ) he had taken out a substantial life insure. policy on himslef, sooo, as shitty as his behavior was, he did attempt to provide for his family in faking his, supposed, death.

How do you detain someone overnight without charges? Pretty sure that's illegal.

[@JustXavier]

Why did he come back?? His lady must’ve kicked him out.

[@STONESGAM]

How big of a goof ball does this guy look like now? If you are going to pull a stunt like this you should probably follow through and stay where you are. I am guessing "karma" kicked in and life in the Eastern European country wasn't what he thought it was going to be. Or maybe the "woman" he was talking to online wasn't what he thought she was going to be in real life. His kids will remember this for the rest of their lives. He could have just gotten a divorce if his marriage was unhappy but he likely didn't want to pay child support. Now he has to pay for the search and rescue efforts of his fraudulent accident. And lost all respect of his family, friends, and the community. Lol

[@amymonteith8064]

My guess if the woman was real she probably just wanted money and nothing to do with him.

What's wrong with leaving the country? That's not exactly a crime. And the resources and money wasted on the guy who doesn't want to be found...that's on the police themselves. This story is just garbage about some nobody dad. Thanks for wasting 2 1/2 minutes of my life.

[@tonyaperfect4280]

You can leave the country. But you can't be faking your own death. Grow some and say I'm not happy, I'm leaving.

[@ggcatbelladogantics2959]

Taxpayer funds went to searching for this man and investigation of his disappearance. He sucks, but people should not be wasting police time and taxpayer money with this kind of nonsense.

[@amymonteith8064]

It's not about him leaving the country. It's the fact he committed insurance fraud. He faked his death to collect life insurance. That's fraud
