Tabloid headlines in their native Belgium dubbed them THE DIABOLICAL LOVERS. In America they might have been called the Honeymoon Killers. Aurore Martin and Peter Uwe Schmitt allegedly found lonely singles, married them and then murdered them in order to collect the insurance money. Belgian authorities had been hunting the couple for months. Last week FBI agents arrested them in Miami, where they had spent their loot on an oceanfront condo and the Florida high life...
...Schmitt, 27, and Martin, 28, met at an indoor rock-climbing center in 1991. A year later, Schmitt married 20-year-old Ursula Dechamps. After five months, the couple's car plunged off a ramp into a canal; he escaped unhurt, but his wife's body washed up three days later. Schmitt collected $472,000 from her life insurance policy and headed off to Florida with Martin. Three years later, when their money ran out, authorities say the couple returned to Belgium, where Martin met a homely financial consultant through a personal ad. They married quickly, but on their honeymoon...

...continuing speculation about Roswell, the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) in Chicago sponsored a team to seek out the crash site, recover any remaining debris and interview surviving "witnesses." Three years later the key members of that team, science-fiction author Kevin Randle and CUFOS investigator Don Schmitt, published their conclusions in the book UFO Crash at Roswell. In addition to recovering a UFO at Roswell, they charged, the government had found and spirited away the remnants of its crew, several little alien bodies...
Randle and Schmitt bolstered their tale with accounts by Roswell witnesses, some of whom had earlier been ferreted out and interviewed by Friedman. The most notable of their sources was Glenn Dennis, who in 1947 was 22 and working as a mortician. Dennis told of receiving inquiries from the air base that July about the availability of child-size coffins and procedures for embalming bodies that had been exposed to the weather for days...
