<div> <p>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.<br>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.<br>Listen as we dive into California, the case of Patrick McDermott, and how to stay alive on vacation.</p><p>Do you have a story to share?
