And in fact, they got three sort of strong, able-bodied men pulling at this cover.

And it takes them hours to get off.

But finally, they get it removed.

Now, despite this indicating that there is no way that Tim could have actually removed this cover on his own, the police dutifully search the drain.

And wouldn't you know it, they do not find a body.

So now we're in a weird situation, right?

Because we got a guy who's confessing to murdering his missing wife.

But the story he's telling us about where the body is turns out not true, right?

So they call up the Welsh police and they say, hey, no dice.

We looked in the drain.

There's nothing there.

So the Welsh police, they go back to Tim.

Now remember, Tim had taken two hours to tell them this relatively short story initially because basically, apparently, he related his entire life history.

And the police officer said it was like the most just mind-numbing confession they had ever heard.

But this time, Tim says, I'm going to tell you the truth.

And he launches into another sort of multi-hour long confession.

And he admits...

there was no man at the cafe.

He made that part up.

Shocker, shocker.
