A British man who was thought to have drowned in a boating accident five years ago recently turned up alive and well — and was arrested. John Darwin disappeared while canoeing off the British coast in 2002. Last week, he walked into a police precinct and identified himself, saying he could not remember any details of the past five years. He was arrested after reports that his wife recently claimed his life insurance, and a photograph was published that apparently shows the couple buying an apartment in Panama.
