 A US man in Florida confessed to a murder that never happened, hoping it would persuade his wife to leave him, the Ocala Star Banner reports.
Teddy Akin, 28, told his wife he had killed a hitchhiker and stolen his wallet, and later repeated the same story to investigators after police arrested him. He claimed he hit the man on the neck, causing him to gasp and make a gurgling sound. He said he buried the body in a forest. Police eventually found the allegedly murdered man alive and astonished. Mr Akin admitted that his murder confession was bogus, a police spokesman with the Sheriff's Office told the newspaper. He told investigators he was having problems with his wife and was hoping the murder story would encourage her leave him. He said he had found the wallet in the street. Police said Mr Akin would be charged with theft and making a false report. He might also be sent a bill for the cost of the search. The newspaper did not say whether or not Akin's wife left him. posted by hungarian kid |

 That's crazy.. if he pulled it off successfully he could have gone all the way to court and been sentenced to jail..  ok so that's not really likely but nevertheless strange things do happen. This is really, really sick. posted by ryder |

I'm pretty sure in American law you can't be convicted of murder until evidence of a body is found. posted by holy_of_holies |
