It doesn't say much for the imaginations of finance managers that this guy thought a plane without a body (and the off-chance someone would see him swooping down in a parachute) would fool the crack team of CSI. I guess this guy thought if there wasn't a body in the plane, he must be dead. Apparently he had some motive back home to fake his death, which makes things even fishier.
On the other hand, any guy who is willing to crash a 750K plane, stash a motorcycle in the countryside under a faux mat of astroturf, and do a mid-air James Bond out of his plane earns at least some mirthful respect from me.
Here's the brief from CNN:
Missing pilot may have fled on motorcycle:
An Indiana financial manager who apparently tried to fake his death by crashing his airplane left on a motorcycle he had stashed in his parachute landing zone, authorities said today. Marcus Schrenker fled Harpersville, Alabama, on a red motorcycle he kept at a storage unit leased under an assumed name, officials said.

What cracked me up was that he radioed that the window had blown out, but when the plane was found, all the windows were intact. Guess he was counting on breakage when the plane crashed. Doh!
However, I think the bigger story in the area today was the bomb scare at a Walmart on the north side. Police made a protective barrier of...shopping carts...before the bomb detecting robot was dispatched.
Turns out it was a package of deodorant.
Yep.
