Reggie Perrin/Darwin..Missing for 5 years.

Why the Hell did he come back? Wife has the dough, he has the house in Panama..why would he walk into a cop shop in London and claim amnesia?

God knows I have felt like disappearing over the years, but if i did, I would not come back.

Reading the news on the BBC site, it looks like he was rumbled a couple of months ago.

Even more reason to do one then.

She has the cash, he has been snapped in Panama, obviously with no extradition treaty with the UK, Just live high off the hog and send a postcard home.

maybe his conscience caught up with him?

Only explanation. His Family obviously really love him, to come back from the dead like that and to have them all kissing him and being truly thankful that he is still alive.

Pretty humbling, Life is too short as it is.

I believe there is (surprisingly) an extradition treaty with Panama...

It seems his family knew he wasn't brown bread.

Indeed there is.

Looks like the cashed in insurance policy will be returned

i bet he has got cancer, only come back for the free health care

 

[Buzzer]

My guess is that he was rumbled whilst back in the UK and was unable to leave the country as airports all had his passport flagged. Does his time and joins wife. Simple.

 

[In The Rough]

I thought he had just gone on holiday with the McCanns five years ago??

 

[Bry Nylon]

What a waste of what seemed to be a perfectly servicable canoe




(Will he be allowed to profit from the inevitable book and movie deal?)

 

[Lady Bracknell]

Someone's dobbed on them and my theory is that once he heard the OB were taking an interest he came back here to try and fool them with the old amnesia routine. That way, his wife's story about genuinely thinking he was dead and claiming the insurance money in good faith might stand up. I liked the comment from one of the locals on the news tonight about the rescue teams having searched for him on the wrong beaches at the time - they should have tried the Spanish seaside!

I'm thinking of dissappearing

Don't. You will upset Beach Hut.

 

[BensGrandad]

If there is an extredition treaty with Panama why go there why not follow Robert Maxwell to Brazil, who do not have one unless you commit a crime there.

 

[Bry Nylon]

I may be wrong, but anyone following Robert Maxwell needs to go to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, don't they?

As is reported but I belive different.

My son worked for BA and then bough ta bar in Teneriffe and I was visiting the weekend he disappeared. We had too much to drink and missed flight home but as it was a BA ticket they got me booked on a charter leaving at 4.00am next morning . We duly arrived at the airport at 2.00am as directed and as we drove round it a Brazilian Cargo plane( Varta or similar) was being loaded with boxex by fork lift under the lights of the forklift. My son said that was strange and took the number of the plane. Later that day he phoned his mate at BA to find out what or who was on the plane and despite all the checks possible, according to the records, that plane did not leave Brazil it was parked up for 3 days in the sheds at Brazil airport and we saw it on the Sunday that Maxwell disappearred at Teneriffe Airport.
