HARPERSVILLLE, Ala. — Authorities searching for an Indiana businessman who may have tried to fake his own death in a plane crash say that he apparently escaped on a red motorcycle — and could be anywhere.

Harpersville, Ala. Police Chief David Latimer says there's no reason to believe 38-year-old Marcus Schrenker is still in Alabama.

Latimer says he doesn't believe that Schrenker is in the United States anymore. Investigators discovered that Schrenker stashed a red motorcycle at a storage unit, and now, the bike is gone and his clothes were left behind in a storage bin.

Before the crash, Schrenker's life was spiraling downward: His wife filed for divorce, and his financial management companies were under investigation.
