Reminds me of a similar story - Diazien Hossencroft, mutant alien somethingorother who convinced people he was immortal. His poor girlfriend, unfortunately, was not:

The investigation into the murder of Girly Chew uncovered a conspiracy fantasy involving reptilian queens, UFOs and reports of cannibalism. Girly Chew's husband Diazien Hossencofft and his girlfriend Linda Henning were convicted of her murder. Girly's body has never been found.
