'Missing' father married to another within weeks

- When her husband did not return after a family visit, the Scottish mother Cheryl Cowie began to worry. Until the police had a bizarre message for her about the father of her children.

The worried woman wanted to give up her husband Malcolm as missing. However, that was not necessary. Her husband, with whom she had been together since childhood, turned out to have already contacted him. This way the agent told her that he was doing fine.

Good news, you might think. Gradually, however, Cheryl found out that her family had been abandoned. And that Malcolm had already started a new life...

He did not sit, as he said, with his family in Scotland, but with his new wife in Utah.

Malcolm turned out to be married to another woman within a few days, to the dismay of Cheryl, who stayed behind with their two children. On Facebook, he happily posted a photo of him and his new acquisition.

Not only Cheryl was in shock. Friends and family also did not know what they heard. 'Saying that his family is devastated is still an understatement', says a friend to The Scottish Sun. 'They do not know what has inspired him. It is really nothing for him. '

It seems that the new bride and groom got to know each other via Facebook. According to Cheryl's friend, they had been in secret for two years. Whether he will ever see his children again, the future will have to prove.
