A man and his wife claimed £250,000 on his life insurance after concocting a scheme to fake his death.
Teacher John Darwin was last seen paddling out to see in his kayak in March 2002. Later that day he was reported as missing after failing to turn up to work.
Following a a large scale police search which found nothing, wreckage of John's kayak was found the next day with the then 51-year-old presumed dead, when really he was living in a bedsit next door to the family home in Hartlepool. Less than a year later, he then secretly moved back in with his wife Anne.
