Cop takes in a man for traffic violation and ends up uncovering a 20-Year-old secret

Grieving Family

Bennie not only left behind his fiancée Patricia but also a 4-year-old daughter from his previous marriage. This little girl lived with Patricia for 20 years who was now a woman named Christi McKnight. She was just 4 years old when Bennie vanished from their lives for 20 long years. But then Christi told that she may have found her father…

Wint’s “Scheme”

John Doe was locked up in jail. Sgt. Stacy Wyatt and other officers were busy in solving the case. On one hand, there was a story of his disappearance and on the other hand, the police didn’t believe the story at all. What was the truth? No one had any answers. The police thought that he left his previous life to escape his fiancée and the child, but then he told something more shocking to the police.

The Master Plan

His plan was simple. He would act as if he was drowning and by the time his fiancée would look for the lifeguard he would swim to the shore and would never look back again to his previous life. Indeed his plan was a success. Success to the point that he managed to stay dead for 20 years. After running away from the shore, he hitchhiked to Alabama where he started his new life with a new name in North Carolina until he was picked up by the police during general traffic stopping.

Strange Circumstances

The disappearance of Bennie Wint was all over the town. Usually, after drowning you could find the body floating on the sea, but here there was nothing. There was no body. So, could John Doe be telling the truth all along? Sgt. Stacy Wyatt was getting tired of the case as there was nothing concrete about it. All police had was a story told by a man who faked his own death.

Really Bennie

But after some serious investigation, the police was happy to confirm that the man who was locked up in the precinct under the name of John Doe was Bennie Wint. He was telling the truth all along. The reason he told for faking his own death was literally a reason we only see in the movies. It was like he learned from the movie and applied it in his real life. His plan worked for 20 long years!

One Last Round

Bennie kept telling Sgt. Stacy Wyatt that he disappeared because he didn’t want to take the responsibility of his new life along with his old life which was a 4-year-old daughter. But that’s no reason to fake one’s own death. The officer didn’t buy it. He was hiding something. Sgt. Stacy Wyatt was an experienced officer and there was something Bennie was hiding. But what?
