Faking Death

Do people ever fake their own deaths? Sounds like a stupid question but it happens more than you think.

You see it a lot in movies. Eg. In Sleeping with the enemy, the character that Julia Roberts plays fakes her own death to get away from an abusive husband.

He later finds her and she has to kill him at the end. A really good movie, and a really good acting.

Another movie along that line is Double Jeopardy. Staring Ashley Judd. In the movie her husband fakes his death, get's wife to take the fall for his death, only he is not dead, and wife has to spend most of the movie trying to prove that he is not dead, only to kill him at the end of the movie.

Then there is real life, I am not sure how many people know this, but Olivia Newton John, Sandy from the movie Grease, in real life her boyfriend of several years faked his own death.

He did it really well, but an investigator that kept looking for him, and it was sometime this year or late last year that he was found.

So weird things do happen from time to time. Of course if you are the type that can fake you own death and can Jason Bourne it, requesting a new identity, passport, and relocation, then you probably fit more into secret agent profile than just average people who fake their own deaths.

I just thought it was interesting, because I was remembering the Olivia Newton John thing. The loser kept her in a state of suspended animation, she never knew for sure if he was dead or alive till last year. I think she spent four years trying to find out. It was just a really weird case that I had heard of over the years, but never paid much attention to, till the story broke earlier this year, and meant to blog about it but forgot to. Not really Gang Stalking related, but interesting.
