When will Christopher Foster be found?

Settled as on or before Sep 15

Foster' remains were identified at the crime scene
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/sep/03/ukcrime

Background:

British police have launched a murder inquiry after they identified a charred body found in a burned-out rural mansion as the wife of a financially troubled missing businessman.

Police are looking into the financial dealings of Christopher Foster, the 50-year-old businessman, who ran a company that supplied insulation technology to oil rigs. The company, Ulva Ltd, had gone into liquidation, and Foster was facing large bills from creditors and tax authorities.

When will he be found/tracked down, dead or alive?

"Remains of a man's body found at the weekend in tonnes of debris at Osbaston House near the hamlet of Maesbrook were identified yesterday as those of 50-year-old Foster. He was lying beside his wife Jill, 49, who had been shot in the head. Foster's .22 rifle lay nearby. The cause of his death is not yet known."
