Travis Magdalena Scott

0n 10th September 2011 a kayak containing a suicide note and with a shotgun hole in the side of it was found in Mille Lacs, Minnesota. Also in the boat was a stocking cap containing blood, the victims ground up wisdom teeth and hair. At the time of the apparent suicide the victim was wanted for defrauding an insurance company of US$7m. The scenario was immediately spotted as a fake as the shotgun used had been pumped after firing. Scott was sentenced to 12 years and 8 months and ordered to pay US$11.5m in restitution as he had previously defrauded other insurance companies in 2006 and 2008.
