52-year-old man fakes amnesia and flees country to avoid 'nagging' mother-in-law

Italian authorities found that the father-of-four had googled 'how to disappear' on his computer and left a briefcase with $12,000 for his family.
UPDATED NOV 2, 2018

A tourist who was presumed to be "lost" after he was found wandering around Edinburgh claiming to have no memory of who he was or how he got there has now admitted that he was faking his amnesia to avoid his "nagging" mother-in-law. Law enforcement authorities found 52-year-old Salvatore Mannino in a seemingly fugue state in Edinburgh's St. Giles Cathedral.

According to The Sun, Italian police officers tracked Mannino's searches on his computer, which showed he had looked up "how to disappear" and "how to fake memory loss", thereby raising suspicion when he disappeared from his native Pisa.
