Last Chance
Sgt. Stacy Wyatt told Bennie that it was his last chance to come clean and if he does, there still might be some way he could get his life back. He could still carry on with his life as William Sweet with official documents. He would be able to get a job in the state and he might even find someone and could even settle down for the rest of his life. All he had to do is come clean.
Why Run?
He then said that the reason he faked his own death was not to escape from the responsibility of his future wife and daughter but because he believed that the authorities in South Carolina were on him because of his involvement in a large drug ring…
A Drug Dealer
The drug ring story caught Sgt. Stacy Wyatt’s attention. If Bennie was telling the truth then the department was looking for the case far darker than just a man living a double life. Sgt. Wyatt made some calls from the cell and asked the other person on the side of the phone to look into a possible drug dealer ring in South Carolina 20 years ago.
Another Lie?
Sgt. Stacy Wyatt looked into Bennie’s involvement in some major drug rings, but again, there was nothing. There was no evidence of a man with a name Bennie Wint involved in some drug rings. The South Carolina authorities confirmed that they never looked for a person with that name. So, why did he make up a drug story?
Not Really An Issue
Sgt. Stacy Wyatt confirmed that this man Bennie Wint was no criminal from the past but a man who was affected by mere paranoia. “He was running because of the prior life he lived,” said Sgt. Wyatt. So, he was paranoid by the previous life that made him fake his own death? The evidence was stating a simple fact, that this man was no drug dealer but a man who got scared of the reality and then created another reality for himself where he was not Bennie Wint of South Carolina but William Sweet of North Carolina.
Free Now
After all the proceedings, the department set him free. He even started his new life. His plan was to escape his previous life and starting a new life came true. So, what is he up to? What is his new life? The media caught the wind of the news and soon some news channels were running a story of a common man who faked his own death. But where is the man today?
