In Quincy, Florida a man was arrested and charged with intentionally wrecking an aircraft and faking a distress call. The man is 38 year old Marcus Schrenker who was a Indiana financial manager. A road atlas and campground directory found in the airplane cockpit helped lead the authorities to the North Florida campsite where Marcus was found. He was arrested Tuesday night when U.S. Marshals found him semiconscious inside a tent muttering the word "die" as he was bleeding for a self inflicted cut on his left wrist. There was a three-day run after he was seen parachute from his plane in an apparent attempt to stage his death and then go to a motorcycle he had stashed in Alabama. He will appear in court in Floriday before he goes back to his home state of Indiana. There he faces prospect of bankruptcy, divorce, and other problems. He will have to pay the $5,100 for the boats and helicopters used in the search-and-rescue.
This man surely did not stage out his fake death that well. When he had a distress call from his plane he stated that the windshield was broken and there was blood everywhere but when the search and rescue team found the plane the windshield wasn't broken and there was no blood to be seen. There had been a checklist that was found on the plane that listed a bunch of issue that had been "wrong" with the plane and there weren't really any of those actually wrong with the plane when it was found. If he wanted this to be a little more realistic, he should have taken more time and effort into it. The officials of the U.S. are pretty smart. I'm not saying that it's okay to stage your own death to run away from problems but if you're going to do it, do it well. He is ending up with more financial problems than he was running away from. It makes no sense to me. When he was found he was basically attempting suicide which i don't understand why he wouldn't just crash in the plane. I thought he was trying to run away from these problems of financial hard times. Maybe he got caught up with stress when he was in the campground and this also was not apart of his plan but just sort of happened...but who knows? We won't know more until they get more out of him.
