He does look familar. I do remember the Dr. Going missing. Was about 1980/89? Used him once but what was his name? Older guy. Paper wrote about it and also that he and his wife were on the divorce road.
Also what ever happened to the guys who shot the mayor of Flomaton’s son and he became paralyzed? Or was it his secutary’s son? All this happened about 25 years ago and nothing was ever said about it again.
Small town papers seem to not follow up as years pass. Maybe someone should write a book on all of the old unsolved cases of the area.

“Could he have went over there to obtain drugs, and it became a drug deal gone bad?”

Nobody in this area has to travel all the way to Mexico to obtain pot. More like 2 miles in any direction.

Yes, reminds me of Doctor S. who dissappered with his plane. Search lasted a long time and no sign of him ever. Just shows, with money you can go just about anywhere and won’t be found

The dude goes offshore fishing by himself? Where is the fishing gear? This guy had a rendezvous set up!

Hello Resdent. I doubt if Alonzo, went to Mexico to buy smoke, when the best is right here. I noticed Roy Allens comments, Lee is a nice person, to hear Madam X tell it, he sounds like a sociopath. I noticed the name of the boat, does Mr Kent have ties to NYC? I hope this joker turns up safe.

@Bwayne, no disrespect sir, but with 2 outboards turning 1200 or so RPM, the boat could easily travel twice as far than the published fuel burn rate at say 4200 RPM.
These engines would only burn 2-4 gal per hour vs. 30+ gph at cruising speed. With that said, the boat could have very easily made the Yucatan Penisula or Cuba.
The heirs would likely never never seen or heard a thing if it was found in Castro’s waters.

There is no way this is a $400,000 boat. This boat can be had brand new for $160,000 with electronics and all.

Hope a safe return will come soon.

I keep wondering what this guy did for living, he looks so familiar to me,
but I can’t place him.
It is a beautiful boat, the first thing I thought was wow what a nice boat,
poor man I hope he is found safe.
Now I don’t know what to think about any of this, it is just such a horrible
horrible story.

@loquacious

With the way his boat was setup, the estimated value was placed at roughly $400,000.

Yeah, that’s a lot of boat to just leave.

This could of just been a tragic accident, or it might have been worth leaving it all to start over.
