Melvin Emde , 41 , was reported missing by his son on August 7 after authorities were told he drowned in the Mississippi River during a kayaking and fishing trip.

The bogus accident prompted authorities to launch a search and rescue operation that spanned two days and used divers, sonar, and a small boat.

Emde was scheduled to appear in court the day he went missing for charges of “indecent liberties with a child and statutory rape of a child” in North Carolina .

Authorities discovered he had purchased two prepaid cell phones at a Walmart in Louisiana .
