'Missing canoeist' arrested in UK

This story about the British canoeist who apparently came back from the dead just keeps on getting stranger. 

The arrest at his son's house in Hampshire came just days after Mr Darwin walked into a London police station, saying he didn't know where he'd been since apparently disappearing in the North Sea.

In the meantime the Daily Mail newspaper says it has found his wife in Panama, and that she'd admitted banking the life insurance paid out on her husband.

The Mail tracked John Darwin's wife Anne to Panama City, where she
emigrated six weeks ago after realising almost £500,000 from the sale
of family property. She said she had claimed the insurance 'in good
faith when I believed I had lost my husband'.[/q]

UPDATE: And it gets even stranger. The UK's Daily Mirror is claiming to have unearthed a photo of John and Anne Darwin posing with a real estate agent in Panama City in 2006 - though police say the image has yet to be verified.

prison officer Darwin, 57, and Anne are both grinning as they
audaciously pose for the photo beside Mario Vilar, boss of Move to
Panama.

He said: "They said they were starting a new life in Panama and we
helped them get their feet on the ground. Then they moved on. I thought
nothing of it. The first I heard there was anything unusual about them
was when your newspaper called."[/q]

Police said on Tuesday that they recently began reinvestigating Mr Darwin's disappearance.

Supt Tony Hutchinson said: "There was some information which was
reported to us three months ago to suggest that perhaps there was
something suspicious with regards to his disappearance and as a result
of that information we then began to conduct some inquiries on a
financial basis.

"Certainly three months ago, we did not know that John Darwin was
alive and we did not know that until he walked into the police station
on Saturday morning.

"But it is fair to say that we were conducting some inquiries as a
result of some information we had which raised some suspicions."[/q]
