For six years John Darwin pretended he was dead. Drowned in a canoeing accident in the North Sea off the coast of Britain. With the assistance of his wife Anne he cashed in six hundred thousand dollars of insurance and pension entitlements and lived a fantasy life, changing his name, altering his appearance and hiding from the world he had left behind. Now using police tapes, interviews with family, friends and police investigators the full extent of John Darwin's fraud is revealed. The program reveals how John tried to explain his dramatic return to Britain just when it looked as though he had pulled the scam off, and how Anne's lies to her sons were "the most difficult" deceit of all.
