Here are the key points about such scenarios:
Initial Appearance: At first glance, the situation may appear to be straightforward or ordinary. It could involve a simple event or decision that takes an unexpected turn.
Suspicious Actions: As the story unfolds, certain actions or behaviors come to light that raise suspicions. In your example, the wife’s decision to take out a million-dollar life insurance policy on her husband shortly before his disappearance is a red flag.
Unusual Circumstances: The situation becomes more perplexing as additional details emerge. In this case, the involvement of a questionable individual in the insurance policy process adds to the strangeness of the scenario.
Investigation and Discovery: As the plot progresses, an investigation or inquiry usually takes place to uncover the truth. This can involve detectives, journalists, or concerned individuals trying to piece together the puzzle.
Unexpected Cause: Eventually, the true cause or motive behind the unusual situation is revealed. The strange turn of events might be a result of deception, manipulation, hidden agendas, or criminal activities.
Resolution: The story typically concludes with the resolution of the mystery or the unraveling of the truth. This may involve justice being served, the unveiling of the mastermind behind the scheme, or a surprising twist that adds further complexity to the narrative.
These key points are often utilized in storytelling to create suspense, engage the audience, and highlight the unexpected aspects of a seemingly ordinary situation.

5 How this mum was duped into smuggling drugs — An Innocent Abroad: Part 1 | Australian Story
Gepubliceerd op 12 aug. 2019
When Queensland mum Yoshe Taylor logged on to an internet dating site, she never imagined the devastation that would unfold.
She thought she’d found a friendship and a business opportunity when she exchanged messages with a Nigerian-national living in Cambodia who called himself Precious Max.
Desperate for security in her life and a steady income, she was hooked and visited Precious Max in Cambodia several times.
But it was on her third visit that it all came undone and the web of lies unravelled.
Yoshe was arrested at the airport in Cambodia in 2013, after she was found to be unwittingly carrying 2 kilograms of heroin in the lining of her backpack.
Sentenced to 23 years in a Cambodian prison, Yoshe was helpless and largely forgotten. Six years later, she shares her story for the first time. This is part 1 of a two-part story. Episode two will be posted August 19, 2019.

6 How Australian mum was freed from Cambodian prison — An Innocent Abroad: Part 2 | Australian Story
Gepubliceerd op 19 aug. 2019
Left alone in a Cambodian prison, Australian mother-of-two Yoshe Taylor had all but given up fighting for her release.
“I actually thought the death penalty was a much better idea than being in jail for 23 years,” she says.
The local court rejected Yoshe’s claims that she was set up by a drug syndicate via a dating website and she was concerned for her children’s ongoing welfare.
It wasn’t until a group of lawyers joined forces that the tide started to turn in Yoshe’s favour.
The lawyers discovered that three other Australian victims had been scammed by the same drug syndicate and then released — but that somehow this evidence hadn’t been shared in time to rescue Yoshe from serving six years in jail.
Now back in Australia, Yoshe is sharing her story for the first time, in a warning to others about the perils of online romance.
