FUTURE Totally Unshocking Crime Headline

CNN.com's main page currently features a story about a young woman who a month ago disappeared from the home she shared with her police sergeant husband. It appears that the woman was unhappy in her marriage and wanted a divorce, though her husband contends that she had "mood issues" and that she has run off with another man.

Without telling anyone.

Or taking her two young children.

In completely unrelated news -- nothing more than a coincidence, really -- the man's former wife was discovered dead in her bathtub just three years ago, the victim of a presumed accidental drowning. This woman also had complained about her husband, going so far as to obtain a protection order against him in response to his alleged threats and physical abuse.

Ladies and gentlemen: In a truly historic event, this blog is about to feature the first ever FUTURE Totally Unshocking Crime Headline...coming soon to a media outlet near you!

"Cop Arrested in Wife's Disappearance After Grisly Discovery"
