Marcus Schrenker, an Indiana investment adviser suspected of faking his death in an airplane crash was found late Tuesday in northern Florida.
Marcus Schrenker was head of the financial management companies Heritage Wealth Management Inc., Heritage Insurance Services Inc. and Icon Wealth Management.
Since Sunday, when he radioed a mayday call, which indicated his windshield had blown in and that he was bleeding, Marcus Schrenker had been the subject of an extensive search.
It's believed that Schrenker, who was actually an aerobatic pilot, had bailed out of the plan, and allowed it to crash on its own. When the wreckage was found, there was no evidence of the "accident" he had radioed about.
Schrenker was attempting to escape from a life falling apart: divorce from his wife Michelle, a state investigation of his businesses and angry investors who accuse him of millions. Bernie Madoff, meet your cell mate.
According to AP:
On Sunday — two days after burying his beloved stepfather and suffering a half-million-dollar loss in federal court the same day — Schrenker was flying his single-engine Piper Malibu to Florida from his Indiana home when he radioed from 2,000 feet that he was in trouble. He told the tower the windshield had imploded, and that his face was plastered with blood.
Then his radio went silent.
Officers from the U.S. Marshal's office in Tallahassee, FL, found him at a campground in nearby Quincy. He apparently had cut his wrist, perhaps in an aborted suicide attempt, but was otherwise unharmed.
