Missing Scottish tourist, accused of multiple rapes, child sex offenses, may have faked his own death to avoid trail: Police
A Scottish tourist who disappeared from a beach in California may have faked his own death to avoid standing trial after he was accused of multiple rapes and even alleged child sex offenses.
Kim Gordon, who is a street vendor from Inverness, vanished from the Monastery Beach in Carmel on February 25 at around 7:15 pm. His 17-year-old son was the one who reported him as missing after he claimed his father had gone for a swim and then disappeared.
After an extensive search by police divers that lasted for two days, the Monterey County Sheriff's Office called off the search for the man, who is also known as Kim Vincent or Kem Vincent Avis. Gordon, who is believed to be in his 50s, is scheduled to go on trial for 24 charges that were laid out against him, PEOPLE reported.
