But in reality, John was still alive, and living next door to their family home in a bedsit.
Their elaborate plan meant that they were able to claim on John's life insurance and clear themselves of the £700,000 debt they were in.
They planned to use the remaining amount to start a new life in Panama, but their plan soon falls drastically apart.
Their sons believed their father was dead.
