Another shocking story from the London Times, 11th March 2003:
"US SCIENTIST CLAIMS STRANGE DEFENCE IN HOMICIDE INQUIRY
Dr Reed Richards, the prominent New York City scientist, inventor and adventurer, has sensationally been accused of murder following the disappearance of his wife Susan Storm Richards.
Dr Richards was arrested by NYPD officers at 8.30 this morning and taken in for questioning after claims from Mrs Richards' brother John that he had not seen her for a week. The close-knit family have lived together in an apartment complex in the world-famous Baxter Building for some years and have an enviable reputation as respectable public figures, which makes this revelation all the more surprising.
The story took an unusual twist when Dr Richards claimed under interrogation that his wife was 'invisible' due to cosmic ray bombardment in space which had triggered a bodywide mutagenic change some time ago. He claimed the same bombardment had triggered similar changes in his own physiology, and indeed that of his brother-in-law John, who declined to comment. Despite wild demonstrations in which Dr Richards spread his body over an entire wall in the interrogation room, police remained sceptical as to his defence." |
