Missing dad found with new wife
A BRITISH dad reported missing by his partner of 27 years turned up days later - married to another woman in Utah.
Decorator Malcolm McGregor, 38, told childhood sweetheart Cheryl Cowie he was visiting a relative 55km away. Instead he flew more than 7000km to marry Bell Valek, 35.
The love rat's location was discovered when he posed in wedding snaps posted online a few days after cops were alerted to his disappearance, according to The Sun.
"To say his family are devastated is an understatement," a friend of Ms Cowie, 37, said.
"They just don't know what's got into him."
Mr McGregor, who has two children with Ms Cowie, said he was going to Kilmarnock, a town not far from the couple's home in Motherwell, Scotland, on July 20 but failed to return.
It is believed Mr McGregor met Ms Valek on Facebook. A man claiming to be him sent The Scottish Sun a foul-mouthed email about the split.
The Sun contacted Police Scotland about his status as a missing person and a spokesman said "inquiries established he had travelled overseas".
Ms Cowie was contacted for the story but declined to comment.
