CHATTAHOOCHEE, Fla. (AP) - Federal authorities have charged an
Indiana money manager with faking a distress call from the air and
intentionally wrecking his plane.
U.S. Marshals spokesman Scott Wilson said the charges were filed
against 38-year-old Marcus Schrenker Wednesday afternoon.
He says Schrenker is expected to appear in a Florida court later
this week.
Authorities tracked Schrenker to a campground in north Florida
last night after a three-day run. They suspect he parachuted from
his small plane in Alabama, then left it on autopilot to crash in
Florida as part of a bid to stage his death amid mounting personal
and professional problems.
