Mercy May is the new wife of John Darwin, the guy who made a name for himself by faking his death in a canoe accident.
It was a strange, factual story that stunned and enthralled the country. He chose to fake his own death after accruing heavy debts of £700,000 and being on the verge of bankruptcy.
He asked his ex-wife Anne to confirm the falsehood by claiming £250,000 in life insurance on his behalf.
Then, for years, John lived in secret in an adjoining bedsit in Hartlepool, visiting his wife through a door that connected the two old properties.
After five years, the couple chose to start a fresh life in Panama.
When it became clear that he couldn’t live or work there without having his identification verified by British authorities, he decided to fake amnesia and show up at a London police station, expecting to resume his normal life.
However, the two were caught and found guilty of fraud, earning a six-year sentence apiece.
A new ITV drama, “The Thief, His Wife, and the Canoe,” is now portraying their story.
