Shannon Matthews: Man behind kidnapping plot dies
Michael Donovan, the man behind a fake kidnap plot involving West Yorkshire girl Shannon Matthews has died aged 54.
He and Shannon's mother Karen Matthews staged the nine-year-old's disappearance in February 2008 in a scheme to claim a 拢50,000 reward.
The 24-day search for Shannon ended when she was found in a bed drawer a few miles from her Dewsbury Moor home.
Matthews and Donovan were jailed for kidnap, false imprisonment and perverting the course of justice.
