Where is John Darwin now? What happened to Canoe Man and is he still alive?

John Darwin took his fateful voyage into the sea.On the morning of March 21 2002, Darwin, in collusion with his wife Anne Darwin, decided to hop into his canoe boat and paddle out into open waters - at least that's what authorities believed.Despite search and rescue attempts, his body was never recovered - though the wreckage of his canoe was found months later.The ‘Canoe Man’s’ story made headlines immediately, perplexing the British public by its unusual and bizarre nature.Five years later, Darwin strolled into a police station alive and well but claiming to be suffering with amnesia, adding a new twist to an already peculiar tale.

In the years he was presumed dead, Anne had claimed hundreds of thousands of pounds in life insurance, pension and benefits claims.The pair have remained relatively incognito in the years since, though their story was far from over following their arrest and conviction.This is what Darwin did in 2002 and where he is now.When it was reported that Darwin was missing off the coast of Cleveland in Yorkshire in 2002, a large-scale search party was sent out to find him.The expansive team scouted 62 miles of coast in a fruitless and futile effort to find the Canoe Man.Only the wreckage of his canoe and a single paddle were recovered, leading to authorities deeming Darwin to be dead.However, five years later, he, alongside his wife, was founding living in a secret home at Seaton Carew.He'd assumed the identity of 'John James', a baby who had died aged one month, and was using a passport under the false name to fly back and forth between the UK and Panama.Lying to their own two sons Mark and Anthony, the pair had been receiving benefits from the government to the tune of £700,000.Darwin disguised.
