MASSAPEQUA, N.Y. – Her face says it all.
A furious Long Island woman yesterday blasted her no-account husband for pretending to have drowned off the coast of Long Island to collect insurance money.
“Faking his own death is a horrific thing,” a seething Evana Roth, 43, told reporters at a press conference about her in-the-wind husband, Raymond Roth.
“I just can’t believe he’d do something like that. It’s like a horrible movie,” Evana said about the 47-year-old unemployed communications-company manager who vanished July 28 at Jones Beach.
“This is a terrible nightmare that I want to wake up from.”
As if pretending to be dead isn’t bad enough, Raymond yesterday started sending Evana cryptic and threatening messages — even as cops investigate whether he broke any laws with his sickening stunt.
“The place looks a little crowded. I just drove by. Call me later,” Raymond wrote in a text message time-stamped 9:14 a.m. to Evana that she displayed to reporters.
That message came hours after cops seized two computers belonging to him and his son, Jonathan, from their Massapequa home.
The hottest stories ripped from the headlines, from crime to courts, legal and scandal.
