HARPERSVILLE, Ala. -- The search for an Indiana businessman who may have tried to fake his own death in a plane crash to escape financial problems took another cinematic turn Tuesday when investigators said he fled on a red motorcycle.
After searching the Alabama woods where Marcus Schrenker, 38, apparently bailed out of his small plane before letting it coast on autopilot to crash in Florida, investigators discovered that he'd stashed a red motorcycle inside a storage unit a day before the crash. The bike is gone, and his clothes were left behind.
"He could be anywhere at all. Within 10 hours he could be in New Orleans, halfway to Houston, in Atlanta, anywhere," said Huntsville Police Chief David Latimer.
"I believe he's out of the U.S.," Latimer said. "... He jumped out an airplane and left it to crash who knows where. He's shown a total disregard for human life. I think he'd do anything to get away."
Schrenker's disappearance perplexed authorities in three states as they scrambled to put together the pieces of what looked like an elaborate plan sketched out to escape financial doom. In the days before the crash, Schrenker's home and business had been searched by authorities probing his financial management businesses, his wife filed for divorce, his stepfather died and a court in Maryland entered a half-million-dollar judgment against him.
Those troubles worsened Tuesday, when a judge in Indiana ordered Schrenker arrested on financial fraud charges after prosecutors said he had given financial advice to clients and made business deals even though his state license had expired on Dec. 31./snip (full info above link)
