John Darwin was declared dead almost five years ago and it was a surprise for the police as he walked into a police station to claim he is alive but he has no idea what happened to him during these years.
In March 2002 Mr Smith, a kayaking enthusiast was reported missing by his wife and his body was not found for obvious reasons now.
All his family seems to be astonished, except for his wife, who has always been waiting for this. She always speculated her husband did not die in the accident he had in 2002 while he was canoeing, and he did not die in fact. Mr. Smith seems to have lost his memory and he does not remember anything that happened after a family vacation in 2000. However, he will have to face further questioning as it seems that the police suspect about his disappearance. It is believed he has had financial problems before disappearing and the police is already looking into any prove to clear their suspects.
They cannot explain about the mysterious disappearance of this man but they think there was a reason for Mr Smith to walk to the police station and they will try to find out what it was.
