No one yet knows why John Darwin disappeared from Hartlepool five years ago - but he is guaranteed to find lots of things have changed upon his return.
Chief among them: his wife has sold up and shipped their furniture and lots of money to Panama.
When they lived together on the seafront at Seaton Carew, John and Anne Darwin were described by friends as a loving couple.
He was a committed Catholic and had been a teacher for most of his working life, she was a doctor's receptionist and regular churchgoer.
When he vanished, there was a huge search and rescue operation involving lifeboats, coastguards and the RAFHis smashed-up canoe, lifejacket and paddle were found, but there was no sign of him.
On Saturday, five years after vanishing, he walked into West Central Police station in London in good health and, according to one source, "looking suntanned".
Since then, he has been staying with family - believed to be his son Mark - with a Metropolitan Police family liason officer looking after him.
