After Roth went missing at a Long Island beach, his wife thought he was dead - but was he? The man, Raymond Roth, 47, disappeared in the waters off Jones Beach on July 28, prompting an extensive police search, involving a helicopter and boats, that turned up nothing. His wife, Evana Roth, said she had found e-mails implicating Mr. Roth in the staging of his death and that she feared for her safety.
