That Aberdeen fella was murdered several years ago I think.

Talking of online dating I just turned on the TV the other day and low and behold, there was a programme on about it. Actually it was a true story so naturally I stayed tuned in. It was called Web Of Deceit or something.

The guy was a handsome chap in his fifties and lived in California. He was a carpenter and musician and was fairly wealthy due to selling property.

So anyway, about a month after splitting from his girlfriend, he tried online dating and met a woman who lived in Brazil (circa 2006). They showed a real photo of her at the end but I wasn't sure if that was then or now. Think less attractive version of Imelda Marcos.

He was only speaking to her for a fortnight before booking a flight to Sao Paulo but the dialogue during those two weeks really sealed his fate. He wasn't boasting but proudly announced his success in life to her.

On the first night in Brazil he was about to leave her apartment for his hotel. It was a plush pad so obviously to him, she seemed well-off. She lived there with her daughter.

So she invited him to stay the night and he accepted, slightly surprised but nonetheless pleasantly surprised. She took his hand like "lovers" do and led him up the stairs - to the spare bedroom. Don't you just hate it when that happens!

He spent around 12 days in Brazil having a really good time before returning home. On getting back he noticed a few discrepancies on his credit card. Purchases made in Brazil that he knew nothing of. He phoned the bank and put it down to a stranger "looking over his shoulder" despite leaving his wallet around her appartment.

Two months passed and he returned to Sao Paulo, sleeping in the spare bedroom again. During this trip her daughter mentioned that her mother was having financial difficulties and she could no longer get to work because her car had been repossessed blah blah blah. He then decided to buy her a car. One that he could afford (around $20k) but she wanted one for $70k. He was taken aback but gave in.

He returned to California to find more discrepancies and fraudulent transactions to the tune of $130k. Naturally he was pissed off and things began to click. He told her that they "needed to talk".

His third trip over was his last. After being reported missing for a few months, the Police got involved and one of the gang confessed to him being strangled.

Three people were involved in his death including the girlfriend and her boyfriend.
