Georgia: Man arested for faking his own death

                                 
Police in Georgia, US have arrested a former investment banker who had been declared dead by a judge. Aubrey Lee Price vanished in 2012 in what appeared to be a suicide while wanted in a massive investor fraud case. But, on wednesday Price was pulled over for windows that were too darkly tinted, and his true identity was uncovered. Price is alleged to have embezzled $21 million from more than 100 investors between 2010 and 2012.

Before going on the run, price wrote a 22-page confession letter to his family saying he planned to kill himself off the coast of Florida by jumping off a ferry boat. Surveillance video from that day shows him at the ferry terminal in Key West, Florida, where he led investigators and his family to believe he took his own life.
