Wife of missing NY man who later appeared in SC: Emails show he plotted to fake his own death
MASSAPEQUA, N.Y. — A jobless man who was reported missing after going for a swim in New York — only to turn up days later speeding down a South Carolina highway — had sent emails discussing a plot to fake his own death, his wife said Friday. Evana Roth said she had no part in her husband’s scheme and discovered it while making preparations for his funeral. She also said her husband, who has yet to be located, has been calling her cellphone and sending her text messages, some as recently as Friday morning.
Raymond Roth, 47, vanished last Saturday after Jonathan Roth — his son and Evana Roth’s stepson — reported him missing at Jones Beach.
Police took to the air and water to look for him, at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars, but learned days later that Roth had been seen in Florida. Early Thursday morning, he was stopped going 90 mph and given a speeding ticket in Santee, S.C. The officer who issued the ticket saw that Roth was listed in a national registry of missing people. Roth said he was returning to New York, and the officer let him proceed north.
