allowing michelle s father, who was dying of cancer, to walk her down the aisle. next, there was a lavish blessing ceremony in a 12th century villa on italy s coast. mark flew in a dozen gifts from the states. then mark topped it all off by renting chicago s field museum and inviting 110 guests for another formal reception there. those were the memories that kept running through michelle s mind as she and her mother waited for mark to return. but when the sun set that night and mark had not returned, as the captain had promised, michelle knew something was horribly wrong. but what? there were no reports of an accident involving mark, no signs of foul play, no ransom notes. only questions. was there a note of any kind? nothing. no message, nothing. i went through the boat like a crazy person just tearing everything up looking for something. and the only two things i found was 1,000 euros and my passport
who could have known in those first blissful days, as the music played and champagne flowed, how it would all end. certainly not mark weinberger s new bride michelle. a northwest indiana doctor is apparently on the run tonight and he s left behind serious legal trouble. in the weeks and months after her husband left her in greece, michelle was bound and determined to find out why her husband had abandoned her. coming up lying low, living large. i think he bought about maybe $500,000 worth of diamonds before he left. 500,000. uh-huh. and where did the diamonds go? with him, i suppose. i didn t find out anything about diamonds until after he had left. each day justin chooses to walk. at work.
filed for bankruptcy. the person that i fell in love with, the person that i knew for five years, that person certainly was a soul mate and a best friend to me. this person who would leave behind such devastation in his wake, i don t know who he is. with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, michelle told us she should have seen the signs of trouble coming. mark was sometimes distant. he could be rude, even abusive to people he deemed his social inferiors. but the summer of 2004, a few months before mark disappeared, seemed to be the real turning point. michelle was pregnant. both of us could not have been happier at that moment. those good feelings lasted for a couple weeks. and then i had to go to hawaii for an apa conference that i was presenting at. presenting at the american
paris and cannes. she enlisted the public s help. it was peeling the scars from my heart. once the story grew cold, michelle resigned herself to the probability mark weinberger was gone forever. i had hoped that he would be caught, but i thought there was a really good chance that he would die on the run in europe and nobody would know where he was. then in december 2008, four years after mark weinberger left her with just a passport and 1,000 euros, michelle kramer got a call from the fbi and asked her to do an interview with america s most wanted. the fbi hoped i would help them. i had stopped doing a lot of media at that point. i was focusing on my career and trying to move forward. but i thought, okay, i ll help with the investigation.
don t forget me or don t forget the mountain. so he search to be real with me. he was i think real with me. it s noteworthy that shortly after weinberger s capture in italy, his italian girlfriend began corresponding with his american ex via facebook. i was picturing a thin blonde girl who was maybe about 20, 25. i was 25 when i met him. that s what i had picture. monica is about the opposite of you. yes. we shared one thing in common. he lied to her and he lied to me. and i did everything i could to get him turned in, and she actually is the person that turned him in. so we had a lot in common. it took a few years, but michelle kramer has moved on in her life.
