Sex change: The ultimate disguise?

A divorced couple in Stillwater, Oklahoma are behind bars accused of a strange crime. The pair allegedly tried to fake the man's death to escape arrest warrants and so he could start a new life as a woman. The couple are now charged with false reporting of a crime. Investigators say the pair lost custody of their children after their underage daughter caught the ex-husband having sex with a blow up doll. Late last month, the ex-wife Heather Davis told police she dropped off William Davis at his favourite fishing spot in Lake Carl Blackwell. Just hours later, Heather claimed William went missing.

When the alleged lakeside disappearance story quickly unravelled, police say Heather came clean. A day after Heather's arrest, William turned himself in to police. According to court records, she admitted, "William told her he would give up his parental rights to their children and get a sex change if she assisted him in the faked death.""He had some outstanding warrants and there was visitation issues. So the plan was to report him missing so he could get a sex change operation. Then he could return to the family with a different identity," Stillwater police Captain Randy Dickerson said. The couple are being held in Payne County Jail.
