Husband disappears suddenly - until a wedding invitation appeared on Facebook

A 56-year-old British man disappeared from his home after telling his wife he needed space, and flew to Thailand, where he married another woman. Invitations he sent to his family members on Facebook revealed the secret and led to his arrest. According to the report, the couple lived in Derbyshire, England, and married in 2015 after six years of relationship. The evening before his disappearance, they dined together with family members, and Curtis told his wife he loved her. After leaving, he sent her a message explaining he needed a break, and blocked her on all communication channels. His wife noticed his passport was missing and began to suspect. Curtis sent Facebook invitations to his close family members for his second wedding, and his new wife posted an announcement about their marriage. Kirsty contacted the police and filed a complaint. On February 26, 2026, when Curtis landed at Heathrow, he was arrested on suspicion of bigamy. He confessed to the charges and was sentenced to six months suspended imprisonment, 100 hours of unpaid work, and payment of costs amounting to £804. He currently lives with his second wife in Leeds.
