Marcus Schrenker attracted coverage from all three networks. ABC got the jump on the Schrenker story Monday when Dan Harris covered the pilot's disappearance in midair over Alabama just before his small plane crashed in Florida. Now Armen Keteyian on CBS and Michelle Kosinski (no link) on NBC catch up. Schrenker was arrested in a tent in a Florida campground with his wrists slashed in an apparent suicide attempt. Police claimed to have tracked him by following the origins of a wireless e-mail message. The Indiana money manager had "just lost a lawsuit, lost his investment advisor's license and was under investigation for allegedly defrauding his clients out of hundreds of thousands of dollars," listed NBC's Kosinski, before issuing the coup de grace. "His wife had just filed for divorce." Schrenker, who posted his aerobatic stunts on YouTube, is accused of faking the plane emergency before parachuting out of his autopiloted plane. CBS' Keteyian reported that he now has the reputation as a Hoosier Bernard Madoff: "It seems financial fraudsters are literally falling from the sky."
