British canoeist was abducted by aliens?

A canoeist who walked into a police station five years after going missing has no memory of what happened, police have said.

John Darwin was presumed dead after the remains of his canoe were found washed up on a beach in Seaton Carew, near Hartlepool, Teesside, in March 2002.

A Cleveland Police spokeswoman said: "We are pleased that Mr Darwin has been located safe and well.

"He has no memory at all. He has obviously been somewhere for the last five years and a lot of questions need answering."

Mr Darwin was examined and showed no signs of illness and left the station with his two sons who live in Hampshire and Berkshire.

This is weird... where has he been for the last five years? Also, how did he loose his memory? Could this be the work of aliens?

What do people on here think happened to him?

I suspect fowl play, on his part for obvious reasons.

Wait...?!

Is he saying he forgot his former life and had been living as a...sheepherder or something for 5 years, and now can't even recall that?

Or, he has no memory of the past five years, or forgot twice?

I didn't think you could have, er...double retrograde amnesia.

I smell a member of the Order: Rodentia.

Maybe its as simple as a good knock on the head.Many people get amnesia from head trauma.
Otherwise a row with wife/girlfriend that got a tad serious?
I wonder If he remembers what he did during the 5 years,IE his amnesia is only from before he went missing?

Jesus wept,comeing from the uk the thread starter must have seen 70,80,s sitcom called the fall and rise of reginald perrin,in which a person walked into the sea and pretended to have drowned himself in order to start a new life, abduction indeed lol,his wife has just sold 2 houses and done a bunk to south america ,did that involve aliens,you figure

weird this.

My initial suspicions is he is not being honest in his accounts. Numerous info on ways to dissappear if you look up the right books. Then again I would give him the benefit of the doubt that he has suffered amnesia of sorts.

I wonder if you age if you're abducted by aliens.

One word, mistress.

I keep asking to be abducted, but they keep telling me I'm from a bad neighborhood.

I can't wait to hear what happened to him when he does remember.

(Ha ha, elevatedone! Not a one line post. I know you were just waiting for me!)

As a reply to my earlier posts in this and one other thread, my apologies to the mods. I hadn't made myself aware of the "one line post" rule, and I apologize. The onus was upon myself to read and obey the rule, and I failed miserably. It will not happen again.

What i find really stupid, is that if it was debt related as The Sun newspaper seems to imply, if he had waited another 6 months he would of been legally free of debt.

My theory is, that it was planned with his wife, but she did the dirty and ran with the money and he panicked.

But thats just my opinion.

There's probably an ordinary explanation for this, but just in case: Get this man to a hypnotist, now. 5 yrs. with the aliens... wow, imagine all we could learn from those regression therapies.

I wonder if he has aged. Maybe he fell into another dimension where time doesn't exist and when he pulled himself out 5 yrs. had passed. Can't wait for some updates on this story.

I smell the influence of the Great Race of Yith!

Please update this site when you do find out why and if you can some one send a U2U to me if you can, guess it will be in the paper anyway like some on going TV series.

His wife had disappeared a few days before this bloke turned up at the police station - she told neighbours that she was emigrating because her dogs had died

She has also been investigated for the last 2 months for unusual money transfers in Panama. Link

Fishy fishy.

I live close to this dude in England, apparently he was in a lot of debt and hes currently being investigated by the police. Probably faked his own death, his wife got the insurance payout and now hes turned up 5 years later. His wife just left for South-America six weeks ago. Coincidence? I don't think so to be honest. Wouldn't read much into this one guys.

This is missing canoeist John Darwin and his wife Anne in Panama last year, when everyone thought he was dead.

The sensational picture emerged last night as Darwin was arrested in connection with his disappearance in the North Sea in 2002.

Mrs Darwin, who recently moved to the central American country, claimed she had not seen her husband since he vanished.

But last night, the manager of a holiday firm said the couple rented a room in Panama City in July 2006 and posed for the extraordinary picture on the company's website.

Based on their posing in a picture, can we give them a....

Darwin award?

(drum roll, please)

You can't qualify for a Darwin award unless you successfully remove your self from the gene pool - usually death (but with frozen sperm / eggs - even heads you could still get round that) or you could also do your self a bit of a tear jerking accident ~ if you follow my drift

So no nomination yet - have they had kids? I dunno, can't be bothered to find out, but that pretty much excludes you also.

I however am still very much in the running!! Mother nature is tryin her darn'est to remove my beautifully personal deoxyribonucleic acid from the collective chum bucket of life before I successfully reproduce - He says wishing his broken ankle would quit itching under the cast World is that the best you can do?? MuHaHaHa


The Darwin Awards - One billion trillion internet kudos brownies to the creators of that site I some day hope to not be mentioned.
