The woman, who has not been named, typed “John, Anne, Panama” into the images section of Google, the Internet search engine. Up popped a photo of John and Anne Darwin taken in Panama in July last year, which appeared to refute their claims not to have seen each other since his “death” in 2002.
She emailed the picture to Cleveland Police and the Daily Mirror newspaper, which published it on its front page the next day, beneath the headline “Canoe’s this in Panama?”. When confronted with the photo, Mrs Darwin admitted the man was indeed her husband, and conceded it was time to “face the music”.
She has now left Panama for Britain, where Mr Darwin has been arrested on suspicion of fraud. “My sons are never going to forgive me. They are going to hate me,” she said yesterday. “It looks as if I am going to be left without a husband, a home or a family now.”” (Telegraph.UK)
