A father has been charged in Florida with killing his wife after she went missing in what appeared to be a sailing accident on their honeymoon off the coast of the Bahamas.
Lewis Bennett, a Delray Beach resident, was taken into custody on a charge of second degree murder on the high seas Tuesday after his wife Isabella Hellman disappeared at sea last May.

Bennett, a 40-year-old British and Australian national, initially told investigators he had done nothing to find his wife after she went missing from their 37-foot catamaran in the Florida Straits in the early hours of May 15.
According to a court affidavit, federal investigators found it particularly suspicious that following Hellman’s disappearance, Bennett waited just four months before filing for a presumptive death certificate. In Florida, a missing adult can be presumed dead after five years.
