Family Spots 'Deceased' Dad In Last Place They Ever Expected

While everyone copes with their grief differently, we all come to know a similar pain — the terrible dreams, the reoccurring memories. For one Australian family, though, the grieving process was taking its toll after the family patriarch - a father of two - disappeared without a trace. Over a decade later, however, a strange sight sent them on a search for answers that even the authorities warned was completely hopeless.

The perfect life

Russell Jenkins appeared to be building the perfect life. He and his wife, Sandie, had a comfortable home in the suburbs of Werribee, about 20 miles from Melbourne, Australia. There, they had even more going for them.

Proud dad

The couple also had two sons, Ethan and Charlie, who were born two years apart; the four of them formed a stereotypical nuclear family. But, one evening, something shattered their tranquility.

Marital clash

On that evening, Russell and Sandie got into an argument. It seemed like no big deal — every couple is bound to disagree sometimes, right? Well, this fight would go on to change the family forever.

On his own

With tensions and frustrations escalating between the two adults, Sandie took her two sons to another part of the house to defuse the situation. Russell stayed behind, clearing his head by watching sports on television.
