Show Notes
On June 30th, 2005, a fishing boat called the Freedom left the San Pedro marina for an overnight trip off the coast of Southern California. When it returned, one man never came back. Patrick McDermott - a cameraman, a father, and the former partner of Olivia Newton-John. His car was found parked near the dock. His wallet, passport, and keys were left behind on the boat. But Patrick himself had vanished.
The Coast Guard would later say he was likely lost at sea. Yet no body was ever recovered - and over the years, rumors of financial trouble, a possible staged disappearance, and alleged sightings in Mexico have kept this case alive.
Listen as we dive into California, the case of Patrick McDermott, and how to stay alive on vacation.
