In April 1992, 53 year old business man Michael Schallamach failed to attend a business meeting in the Netherlands and simply disappeared. His wife Yvonne received a letter not long after informing her that he had left her for a woman named Helen and that he wasn't coming back. This letter wasn't true and in fact would link Michael's disappearance to the murder of an entire family 10 years later.
