I think there is more to be heard on this story....It's all a bit odd.

perhaps there was a queue in the paper shop EB?

Don't suppose insurance could have been claimed until seven years were up I think that's the length of time before someone can be declared dead isn't it? His wife must be stunned - she sold the family home a few weeks back - wonder if she kept his clothes and other belongings and will they still have feelings for each other? What a strange position to find yourself in - and his children too!

Well from I read Hazel he was classed as dead not missing.

Its not my area - so I dont know how long the law says you have to be missing for - didnt it used to be 8 years before you were classed as dead?

If its less now she could well have been paid out.

How about this guy who's just walked into a police station after he went missing over five years ago - remains of his canoe were found but no trace of him!
