Charlie's work as a real estate...
...revelation that the Darwins had been together in Central America prompted an angry response Thursday from their sons, Mark, 31, and Anthony, 29, who believed their father had drowned. "If the papers' allegations of a confession from our mom are true then we very much feel that we have been the victims in a large scam," the brothers said in a statement.
