A Texan man who has been a person of interest in his wife's 25-year-old disappearance has died by suicide. Jim Sweeten, 79, was found in a shed with a self-inflicted gunshot wound two days after police recovered what is believed to be a burn barrel that was noticed to be missing around the same time Peggy Sweeten disappeared. Peggy Sweeten was 52 when she vanished. When she disappeared, Mr Sweeten claimed that she had left him for a lover, but no evidence was found to support this claim.
