And, just 16 days before their disappearance, Eileen wrote of her growing concern about Tom’s mental state: “Tom hopes to die a quick and fairly painly [painless] death and he hopes it happens soon. Tom’s not suicidal, but he’s got a death wish that could lead him to what he desires, and I could get caught in that.”
In the aftermath, theories began to swirl – some even speculating that the couple had staged their vanishing act to start a new life. But those theories quickly lost credibility. Their bank accounts were never accessed, and no claims were ever made on their life insurance policies.
