[SPURNED WIFE OF AD EXEC SUSPECTED IN DISAPPEARANCE OF HUSBAND'S SUPERMODEL-LOVER]

Interest today shifted to Abigail Hillyer, wife of James Hillyer, as a possible suspect in the as yet unsolved vanishing of Anson Cosmetics model Meg Townsend.
"'Suspect' is too strong a word," said Inspector Ian Montague of Scotland Yard, dodging reporters' questions about the involvement of the prominent ad executive's wife in the possible abduction of the woman now revealed as Hillyer's long-time mistress.
"In cases where there's a love triangle and the 'other woman' disappears," volunteered crime writer and pop psychologist Pippa Fairfax-Leeds, "suspicion must immediately turn to the jealous, and presumably bitter, wife." Fairfax-Leeds, author of the two bestselling books, Dump Him, Dearie, And Carry On and the anthology Get A Divorce Already! commented on the case for the LONDON SUN & NEWS OF THE WORLD.

"Honestly now, here's this perfectly nice middle-aged woman living in America, arranging flowers and doing hospital work, and hubby is jetting across the Atlantic schtupping a supermodel this bit of crumpet. The wife always knows, you know. Who wouldn't be a little irrationally psychopathic?"

THE LONDON SUN & NEWS OF THE WORLD warns readers against idle speculation and rumour. Nevertheless, our reporters have discovered from covert sources that Mrs. Hillyer has refused to join her detained husband in London. In addition, we have knowledge that junior inspectors from the London police have been burning up the trans-Atlantic phone lines grilling James Hillyer's wife long-distance. This information has continued to fan the flames of speculation regarding the angry wife's involvement.
