Police believe Marcus Schrenker faked own death, wife Michelle filed for divorce: Authorities believe Marcus Schrenker may have faked his own death and is hiding after several of his small financial management companies came under investigation.

Cops say they believe that Schrenker bailed out of his single engine plane, parachuted to safety in Alabama and left his plane on auto-pilot until it crashed in Florida on Sunday. Schrenker's neighbor, Tom Britt, said he got an e-mail from Marcus saying the crash was an accident.

Schrenker said,

I embarrassed my family for the last time. By the time you read this I'll be gone.

In the e-mail, Schrenker asks Britt to set the record straight and says he's stunned after reading coverage of the case on the Internet. Investigators say the e-mails seem legit, and they are currently looking for Mr. Schrenker. A warrent has been issued for his arrest. Court papers also show that Schrenker's wife, Michelle, recently filed for divorce. His home was also searched as a part of the investigations, and Schrenker even missed one of his recent trials.
