An Austin police officer faked his death and took off for Mexico, Texas authorities said.
Coleman Martin was believed to have killed himself earlier this week after his wife said the 29-year-old was unstable. But another woman he was intimate with finally confessed that he was alive and well south of the border.
The Austin Police Department said one of its own now faces a misdemeanor charge for filing a false report.
The department announced Friday that "evidence was uncovered to lead investigators to believe that the missing officer took means to stage his own death. It is believed at this time he is not deceased and has fled to Mexico," according to ABC News.

An affidavit acquired by the network shows that the search began on Tuesday when his wife, Jaclyn Williams, called cops that Martin was in “emotional distress.”
Martin said he was having a tough time and had to leave so he could “clear his head.”
Fifteen minutes after he left, Martin texted Williams a photo of a handwritten suicide note that he planned to drown himself near the Mexican border, she told
Martin took $300 out of a joint bank account he shared with his wife about 45 minutes later, police said. He went on to buy a raft, take out more cash and stop for lunch at Wendy’s, according to ABC News.

He stopped at Best Buy that afternoon to buy an HP tablet, Downtown Austin Patch reported.
At some point, cops said, he bought rope and concrete blocks at a home depot, according to the investigation.
Martin was stopped by a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper, and told the officer he was headed to Mexico.
Officials found his car the on Wednesday morning at Amistad National Recreation Area — about 250 miles west of Austin.
The same “suicide note” Martin texted to his wife was inside the care, ABC News reported.
His passport and the tablet weren’t in the car, however, according to Patch.
Police found a raft a few miles away from the car, the affidavit says. Inside were pieces of a concrete block and scratch marks — indicating one had been tossed over the edge.
Officials searched the lake for his body, but nothing turned up.
By Thursday, investigators tracked down the woman with whom he had a close relationship, according to ABC news.
The woman, whose identity wasn’t disclosed, told cops Martin had cooked up the whole incident to fake his death. She even showed investigators emails he sent from Mexico.
Martin told her in an email that he set the suicide scene up before riding a bike to a convenience store, Patch reported. He then tossed it and took a cab to a border crossing where he got on a Mexico-bound bus.
