Florida ? An Indiana financial adviser accused of trying to fake his death in a plane crash said he’s been under psychiatric care and claims not to recall the events of the day he bailed out, a newspaper reported Friday.

Marcus Schrenker called The New York Post from the Escambia County Jail on Wednesday night and Thursday night and told the newspaper that he has no memory of the events of Jan. 11. Authorities say he flew his small plane from Indiana that day, put it on autopilot and jumped out over Alabama after calling emergency officials to say the plane was having mechanical problems.

“I have no memory of any of it — not going to the airport, being in the air, nothing,” the newspaper quoted him as saying. “It’s just crazy. I’ve never even jumped out of a plane before. I sit here and stare and the walls and wonder what happened and say, ‘How did I get here?’ “

Schrenker told the newspaper his last memory is of attending his stepfather’s funeral on Jan. 9 and said he had been receiving psychiatric care and taking medication for a year.
