The shocking life of Arab sheikhs, which the world must see

This is Richard Hoagland. 23 years ago, his family thought that he had gone missing! His relatives suffered and cried every day, the police searched for the man everywhere, but could not find him... Everyone even believed that he was clearly dead... But no one even suspected how this mystical disappearance would end!<img src="/uploads/Mysterious_disappearance_98cc182546.jpg" alt="Mysterious disappearance.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Mysterious_disappearance_98cc182546.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_Mysterious_disappearance_98cc182546.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Mysterious_disappearance_98cc182546.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Mysterious_disappearance_98cc182546.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">

Her husband mysteriously disappeared 23 years ago... What he was doing all these years shocked everyone

And it all started great. Linda and Richard Hoagland got married about 30 years ago. They were incredibly happy together, the smile never left their faces! Those around them never tired of repeating what a beautiful couple they are!<img src="/uploads/They_were_the_perfect_family_4b5d1386d7.jpg" alt="They were the perfect family.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_They_were_the_perfect_family_4b5d1386d7.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_They_were_the_perfect_family_4b5d1386d7.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_They_were_the_perfect_family_4b5d1386d7.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_They_were_the_perfect_family_4b5d1386d7.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">@How Missing Man's Family Finds Him Alive 23 Years Later/ABC News/YouTube.com

They were the perfect family

Richard was a real man - it seemed that you could rely on him in any situation! He worked hard so that his family would not need anything. He was also the life of the party - always cheerful and with a great sense of humor! But if only his relatives knew who the ideal family man would actually be!<img src="/uploads/Man_of_dreams_bb9f9d4dbd.jpg" alt="Man of dreams!.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Man_of_dreams_bb9f9d4dbd.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_Man_of_dreams_bb9f9d4dbd.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Man_of_dreams_bb9f9d4dbd.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Man_of_dreams_bb9f9d4dbd.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">@FOUND After 23 Years: The Case of Richard Hoagland/Rachel Shannon True Crime/YouTube.com

Man of dreams!

Linda and Richard had two beautiful sons - Matthew and Doug. It seemed that their father loved them very much - he spent a lot of time with them and played. But all this was just an illusion... Later, Richard's sons would sue him for the crime he committed!<img src="/uploads/The_illusion_of_a_happy_family_ff65f2e199.jpg" alt="The illusion of a happy family.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_The_illusion_of_a_happy_family_ff65f2e199.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_The_illusion_of_a_happy_family_ff65f2e199.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_The_illusion_of_a_happy_family_ff65f2e199.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_The_illusion_of_a_happy_family_ff65f2e199.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">@How Missing Man's Family Finds Him Alive 23 Years Later/ABC News/YouTube.com

The illusion of a happy family

Richard's family did not need anything - they had a luxurious house, several cars, and enough savings. Life seemed simply wonderful for the family... It is difficult for many to believe that such a fairy tale is possible in real life!<img src="/uploads/He_had_suspiciously_large_incomes_8cf872df27.jpg" alt="He had suspiciously large incomes.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_He_had_suspiciously_large_incomes_8cf872df27.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_He_had_suspiciously_large_incomes_8cf872df27.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_He_had_suspiciously_large_incomes_8cf872df27.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_He_had_suspiciously_large_incomes_8cf872df27.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">@How Missing Man's Family Finds Him Alive 23 Years Later/ABC News/YouTube.com

He had suspiciously large incomes

It even got to the point that Richard bought a yacht! Only very cool businessmen can afford such a luxury, but Richard was not like that...&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_82680960_L_1_1_018fed6919.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_82680960_L (1) (1).jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_82680960_L_1_1_018fed6919.jpg 234w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_82680960_L_1_1_018fed6919.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_82680960_L_1_1_018fed6919.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Depositphotos_82680960_L_1_1_018fed6919.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">

Their life became more and more luxurious

Their family often traveled to the most exotic corners of the world, not realizing that these were their last moments of family happiness. Then smiles will be replaced by grief and tears!<img src="/uploads/These_smiles_won_t_last_long_58b52eaeae.jpg" alt="These smiles won't last long.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_These_smiles_won_t_last_long_58b52eaeae.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_These_smiles_won_t_last_long_58b52eaeae.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_These_smiles_won_t_last_long_58b52eaeae.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_These_smiles_won_t_last_long_58b52eaeae.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">@FOUND After 23 Years: The Case of Richard Hoagland/Rachel Shannon True Crime/YouTube.com

These smiles won't last long

Meanwhile, Richard continued the illusion of a family idyll. Their home was always filled with laughter and joy, but over time, Richard began to withdraw into himself... He spent less and less time with his family.<img src="/uploads/His_behavior_began_to_change_44052e7eb6.jpg" alt="His behavior began to change.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_His_behavior_began_to_change_44052e7eb6.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_His_behavior_began_to_change_44052e7eb6.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_His_behavior_began_to_change_44052e7eb6.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_His_behavior_began_to_change_44052e7eb6.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">@How Missing Man's Family Finds Him Alive 23 Years Later/ABC News/YouTube.com

His behavior began to change

Linda tried her best to spend as much time with the children as possible so that they would not notice that their father was no longer very interested in them. Linda tried to console herself with the thought that Richard was just having temporary troubles at work, but her intuition told her that the problems were much more serious.<img src="/uploads/Linda_sensed_impending_danger_b4f1d14473.jpg" alt="Linda sensed impending danger.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Linda_sensed_impending_danger_b4f1d14473.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_Linda_sensed_impending_danger_b4f1d14473.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Linda_sensed_impending_danger_b4f1d14473.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Linda_sensed_impending_danger_b4f1d14473.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">@How Missing Man's Family Finds Him Alive 23 Years Later/ABC News/YouTube.com

Linda sensed impending danger

Richard continued to act a little distant and participated less in family conversations. Maybe someone threatened him? Linda scrolled through millions of questions in her head and waited for the moment when everything would be the same for them again.<img src="/uploads/False_expectations_that_everything_will_fall_into_place_9898758f20.jpg" alt="False expectations that everything will fall into place.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_False_expectations_that_everything_will_fall_into_place_9898758f20.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_False_expectations_that_everything_will_fall_into_place_9898758f20.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_False_expectations_that_everything_will_fall_into_place_9898758f20.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_False_expectations_that_everything_will_fall_into_place_9898758f20.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">@How Missing Man's Family Finds Him Alive 23 Years Later/ABC News/YouTube.com

False expectations that everything will fall into place

February 10, 1993. Linda had no idea then that this day would change her life forever! She, as usual, took care of the children and household chores. And while Richard was at work, Linda was figuring out how to congratulate him on February 14th. She was picking up a gift and had no idea what a terrible “surprise” was waiting for her.<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_183479820_L_1_1_3cfea305f2.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_183479820_L (1) (1).jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_183479820_L_1_1_3cfea305f2.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_183479820_L_1_1_3cfea305f2.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_183479820_L_1_1_3cfea305f2.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Depositphotos_183479820_L_1_1_3cfea305f2.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">

Day X

Then something very strange happened...Richard called Linda and said that he was not feeling well and would be late for work. Strange...But why then, on the contrary, doesn’t he go home sooner if he feels bad?<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_186868420_L_1_3fb3468eac.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_186868420_L (1).jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_186868420_L_1_3fb3468eac.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_186868420_L_1_3fb3468eac.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_186868420_L_1_3fb3468eac.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Depositphotos_186868420_L_1_3fb3468eac.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">

What was Richard up to?

An hour later he called again and said he would not come home to spend the night. This happened for the first time in all the years of their family life and made Linda very alarmed. Then Linda did not even suspect that this was their last photo together…<img src="/uploads/Family_happiness_is_under_threat_df042db469.jpg" alt="Family happiness is under threat.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Family_happiness_is_under_threat_df042db469.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_Family_happiness_is_under_threat_df042db469.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Family_happiness_is_under_threat_df042db469.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Family_happiness_is_under_threat_df042db469.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">@MISSING MAN FOUND ALIVE AFTER 23 YEARS! The Case of Richard Hoagland/Bella Fiori/YouTube.com

Family happiness is under threat

Linda forced herself to sleep in the hope that everything would fall into place in the morning. However, the situation only got worse! Linda called Richard at work - it turned out that in the morning he didn't show up for work... Linda started to panic and called the police.<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_244653226_L_1_1_b46ddeeb5b.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_244653226_L (1) (1).jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_244653226_L_1_1_b46ddeeb5b.jpg 234w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_244653226_L_1_1_b46ddeeb5b.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_244653226_L_1_1_b46ddeeb5b.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Depositphotos_244653226_L_1_1_b46ddeeb5b.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">

Richard is missing…

Linda also immediately called one of her closest people - her mother. It is she who will support Linda over the coming years, which will turn into a nightmare for their family!<img src="/uploads/Everyone_was_terrified_a148f05ff2.jpg" alt="Everyone was terrified!.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Everyone_was_terrified_a148f05ff2.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_Everyone_was_terrified_a148f05ff2.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Everyone_was_terrified_a148f05ff2.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Everyone_was_terrified_a148f05ff2.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">@How Missing Man's Family Finds Him Alive 23 Years Later/ABC News/YouTube.com

Everyone was terrified!

For several days after his disappearance, Richard did not show up. Having recovered a little from the shock, Linda began to look for at least some clues at home, but when she opened Richard’s closet, she became numb. All his clothes were in place! It was already very cold outside, but even Richard's coat was still there…<img src="/uploads/What_she_saw_in_the_closet_shocked_Linda_0c33cc305a.jpg" alt="What she saw in the closet shocked Linda.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_What_she_saw_in_the_closet_shocked_Linda_0c33cc305a.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_What_she_saw_in_the_closet_shocked_Linda_0c33cc305a.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_What_she_saw_in_the_closet_shocked_Linda_0c33cc305a.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_What_she_saw_in_the_closet_shocked_Linda_0c33cc305a.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">

What she saw in the closet shocked Linda

Moreover, all the Richards documents were also at home... Linda was sure that Richard had been kidnapped! At that time, no one knew that there would soon be a shocking discovery - they would find Richard's car…<img src="/uploads/Things_got_even_more_confusing_893fa6a8f2.jpg" alt="Things got even more confusing.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Things_got_even_more_confusing_893fa6a8f2.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_Things_got_even_more_confusing_893fa6a8f2.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Things_got_even_more_confusing_893fa6a8f2.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Things_got_even_more_confusing_893fa6a8f2.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">

Things got even more confusing

Her children, who were then 9 and 6 years old, who were often seen at their home by the police, began to ask questions and worry about where their father was. Linda consoled them as best she could and barely made ends meet...However, why?<img src="/uploads/The_child_s_psyche_could_not_stand_it_63f9e644dd.jpg" alt="The child's psyche could not stand it.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_The_child_s_psyche_could_not_stand_it_63f9e644dd.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_The_child_s_psyche_could_not_stand_it_63f9e644dd.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_The_child_s_psyche_could_not_stand_it_63f9e644dd.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_The_child_s_psyche_could_not_stand_it_63f9e644dd.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">@MISSING MAN FOUND ALIVE AFTER 23 YEARS! The Case of Richard Hoagland/Bella Fiori/YouTube.com

The child's psyche could not stand it

The fact is that Richard did not leave his wife any savings, so Linda was forced to sell her jewelry and even clothes. Linda had no idea then that another test would soon await her.<img src="/uploads/There_was_barely_enough_money_for_bread_a433b077c8.jpg" alt="There was barely enough money for bread.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_There_was_barely_enough_money_for_bread_a433b077c8.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_There_was_barely_enough_money_for_bread_a433b077c8.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_There_was_barely_enough_money_for_bread_a433b077c8.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_There_was_barely_enough_money_for_bread_a433b077c8.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">@MISSING MAN FOUND ALIVE AFTER 23 YEARS! The Case of Richard Hoagland/Bella Fiori/YouTube.com

There was barely enough money for bread

The house in which Linda lived with her children was taken out by Richard as a hypothec. The woman did not have the financial ability to pay it, she barely had enough money for food... Could she really stay on the street with her children?<img src="/uploads/Will_they_become_homeless_cfb43425e8.jpg" alt="Will they become homeless.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Will_they_become_homeless_cfb43425e8.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_Will_they_become_homeless_cfb43425e8.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Will_they_become_homeless_cfb43425e8.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Will_they_become_homeless_cfb43425e8.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">@How Missing Man's Family Finds Him Alive 23 Years Later/ABC News/YouTube.com

Will they become homeless?!

Her missing husband's car was found near the airport. Police checked to see if anyone had purchased airline tickets under the name Richard Hoagland - and the answer was no. So Richard was still around somewhere?<img src="/uploads/Soon_another_shocking_event_awaited_Linda_10372e308c.jpg" alt="Soon another shocking event awaited Linda!.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Soon_another_shocking_event_awaited_Linda_10372e308c.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_Soon_another_shocking_event_awaited_Linda_10372e308c.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Soon_another_shocking_event_awaited_Linda_10372e308c.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Soon_another_shocking_event_awaited_Linda_10372e308c.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">@FOUND After 23 Years: The Case of Richard Hoagland/Rachel Shannon True Crime/YouTube.com

Soon another shocking event awaited Linda!

The search for Richard continued, but all in vain... A year later, something happened that no one expected... Linda was simply in despair at the madness that was happening!<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_607289338_L_1_1_1bfb99d8c0.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_607289338_L (1) (1).jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_607289338_L_1_1_1bfb99d8c0.jpg 234w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_607289338_L_1_1_1bfb99d8c0.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_607289338_L_1_1_1bfb99d8c0.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Depositphotos_607289338_L_1_1_1bfb99d8c0.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">

Hopeless despair

One of Richard and Linda's sons just had a birthday. There were no surprises - when suddenly Linda found a greeting card from...Richard in her mailbox!<img src="/uploads/It_was_simply_impossible_to_believe_9d694d657b.jpg" alt="It was simply impossible to believe!.jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_It_was_simply_impossible_to_believe_9d694d657b.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_It_was_simply_impossible_to_believe_9d694d657b.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_It_was_simply_impossible_to_believe_9d694d657b.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_It_was_simply_impossible_to_believe_9d694d657b.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">@How Missing Man's Family Finds Him Alive 23 Years Later/ABC News/YouTube.com

It was simply impossible to believe!

Linda was shocked - it turns out her husband was alive all this time! However, why didn’t he get in touch? By the way, the words in the greeting card are the last thing the sons will hear from their father. &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/It_would_be_better_if_this_congratulation_did_not_exist_53329f1cc6.jpg" alt="It would be better if this congratulation did not exist....jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_It_would_be_better_if_this_congratulation_did_not_exist_53329f1cc6.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_It_would_be_better_if_this_congratulation_did_not_exist_53329f1cc6.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_It_would_be_better_if_this_congratulation_did_not_exist_53329f1cc6.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_It_would_be_better_if_this_congratulation_did_not_exist_53329f1cc6.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">@How Missing Man's Family Finds Him Alive 23 Years Later/ABC News/YouTube.com
