I guess it didn’t work out with the other woman.. 🙄

[Kennethjames.]

He faked his DEATH. He wasn’t planning on coming back at all

[juliecarter]

Think of the pain he has caused his family, sad because he could have gotten a divorce like a normal person.

You just can't go to the store for milk and disappear like you used to.

[alluringintrovert]

Coming back in time for Christmas does not make anything better.

[mastert]

Any father who ditches or neglects their children is the worst thing on the planet.

[graceweber]

He lost all his money because the woman was not real. He got scammed.

The Sheriff’s emotional behavior is strange…

[mikehan]

very strange how and why sheriff is so emotionally involved...

[ThomasDuffney]

i would of just told everyone I'm leaving I don't want to see anyone again, why fake your death

[philm]

This sheriff seems like a nice guy but man it sounds like he went way too above and beyond to get some deadbeat to return

[alankooiker]

That guy and the sheriff need professional counseling. The guy left for another woman and he didn't like being in a foreign country...

[kakelinga]

I hope his wife doesn't take him back. He's definitely a weirdo.

[wannabe]

If the sheriff is shedding any tears, it should be for those children. The "father" can go spin.

[leifgiering]

All of you complaining about the sheriff crying are morons. He's obviously not crying for the father, he's crying for the father's family. Being abandoned has to hurt.

[idahardy]

If you want to leave, just go. Face the music and then leave.

[Victoria-zll]

He made his bed let him lie in it and pay back the search costs!

[jeannettelee]

He didn’t like the make believe life with the other woman. The grass was not greener on the other side of the ocean. I hope the insurance company, the police department and his family sues his dumb azz.

[monkeytennis]

Why would anybody cry over this jerk? Especially the sheriff, seriously. 😢

[elsierodgers]

All of that over an online relationship.
