    Can’t wait to here what he’s been up to all this time…but agree with the Aunt in the video…how can you put your parents through such a thing?

  • Sounds like an insurance scam to me, the way the wife just up and disappears like that.

    I don’t know, for myself as crappy as things have gotten here in the u.s., though I would never do such a thing, I can’t really judge someone taking such desperate measures. Luckily my trips are enough of an escape now but I can imagine the hopelessness that may drive someone to do something so drastic. I’ve been unlucky enough to have 3 friends in the past that were so desperate that they decided to shake off this mortal coil completly. I believe that we have all wanted to disappear completly at some point. I too am very interested to see what he’s been up to all this time.
