Missing Wisconsin father suspected of faking his own death

Can't imagine ,Your husband/father cheerfully goes out the door for a day of fishing . He doesn't return and his boat is located capsized in the middle of a lake , so you believe he has drowned . Now you find out he may have faked his death and abandoned his family . Emotional cruelty .

Why go through all that bs grow some balls and tell your wife and fam the trust,,,

[@AyalaMatherd]

He left his family, moved (or tried to move) most of his money out of the country, and abandon his family with nothing but a house that’s likely not paid off and possibly his debt? …and how did this genius expect to collect his own life insurance policy after his own death? I am assuming that he made this mystery skank his beneficiary? If he turns up, he’s going to prison and good riddance.. His wife is still young enough to remarry and hopefully find a good man. I am so incredibly sorry for his children and his wife, but especially his young children, because they know that their dad intentionally left them and intended to leave them with nothing.

The ole "daddy went to the store for a pack of smokes and never came back" trick is getting outta hand. Coward move to your kids that deserve a real father.

[@Ivan-kd5zw]

In order to fake death one haves to have no love for the family or something else

[@MsAmira1988]

I mean sheesh, just be a man, tell your family the truth and get a divorce. But this? Way too much work

[@cheekymonkey5621]

Poor wife and kids. How could anyone be so cruel to their children?

[@tomc2737]

In the timeless words of Bugs Bunny, what a maroon.

[@TexasGirl-Z71]

😂😂😂

[@carolbaker579]

For him to put his family through that is unconscionable. Don't want to be married? Fine. Get a divorce. But to walk out makes him the worst kind of coward.

When your father says he’s going to buy some milk.

[@rosiemackenzie5976]

[@rosiemackenzie5976]

He obviously thinks he can.

[@golightly5121]

So who helped him?

[@mariahsart]

Very cowardly.

[@jacyraynebow3173]

Those teenagers need a father, they have the greatest loss.

[@DeborahLandau-gp2fo]

Those poor kids. Dad ditched us in the worst way.😢

[@AnneAlready]

Imagine putting you CHILDREN through that! (Adults too of course.)

[@connieso199]

One way or another the Feds will bust him the case wide and open 😢

[@charlottewhite1277]

He is a coward.He could possibly be going through a mid life crisis.... I feel for the family that was left behind. I would want answers for sure but other than that, adios amigos. Oh,and i also want and need child support.Those children have been physically abandoned but that guy definitely should financially help support the children.Its hard enough with two incomes much less one.

[@AustinTheAlpha]

They act like bro escaped prison or something let him run away in peace ✌🏽

[@dleblanc3592]

He’s alive and well living his new life with his new husband
