The case of the missing Olivia Newton-John ex-lover may be solved, if newly surfaced fax messages are to be believed.
A letter faxed on behalf of Patrick McDermott, missing since a 2005 fishing trip in California, declares that the cameraman is indeed alive and well, but relays his wishes for everyone to stop looking for him.
His disappearance left his 'Grease'-starring girlfriend heartbroken and fueled speculation he faked his death to avoid crushing debts.
Via Britain's Daily Mail, the message sent to private investigators reads: "Pat has asked that I portray to you his innocence. Pat has committed no crime. Pat simply wishes to be left alone. Let him live his life in peace and harmony. He is safe and has started anew again in a new place both physically and mentally."
McDermott vanished near San Pedro, Calif. in 2005 and was believed to have drowned after falling overboard. Yet there have been numerous sightings of him in Mexico, where he is said to be working as a yacht deckhand in the drifter-friendly town of Sayulita.
