Millionaire Fossett Faked Death to Avoid Divorce?

Text

Millionaire Steve Fossett, who went missing in September, could be still alive. He allegedly faked his death, fearing an expensive divorce.

American Adventurer and millionaire Steve Fossett went missing in September while flying over the desert of Nevada. After a long search, which included many volunteers, civil air patrol, and even Google Earth, he was declared dead.

However, it seems that the story is just about to start here. There are suspects, in fact, that he faked his death, because he led a double life and cheated on his wife.

- Anything is possible. Many found it strange, and now it is even stranger. I know many people who do not believe the story of his death, as the rest of the world does not – said local spokeswoman of the civil air patrol, Cynthia S. Ryan.

Ms Ryan confirmed that Fossett cheated on his wife and suggested that it is possible that he pretended to die in order to avoid a multi-million divorce lawsuit in case his wife found out his about his adultery.
