Authorities said Kim Gordon's son's story about his disappearance 'fell apart' hours after reporting him missing.
A Scottish man wanted on 24 counts of rape in Scotland may have faked his death off the coast of California, authorities claimed Monday.
“We got a 911 call saying that he had gone swimming off one of our beaches and hadn’t returned,” Monterey County Sheriff’s Office Captain John Thornburg told reporters. “This was 7:15 p.m., which was a little unusual to go swimming because it was dark.” After Gordon’s body was not found during a two-day search, authorities began digging into his life and discovered he was accused of two dozen rape accounts.
“We’ve got to a point now that we don’t believe he went into the ocean, we don’t think he went swimming,” Thornburg continued. “We can’t prove that he went into the water.”
