The Liebling - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

AVERMAN · 04-20-2007, 11:31 PM

In August 1986, Red Dixon arrived to pick up his 3 sons to go on a fishing trip with him. The crew consisted of Red, Mike Gergen (excuse the spelling) an experienced crewman, and Red's 3 sons, 18 year old Rusty, 14 year old Jason, and 6 year old Caleb.

The boat left at dawn and headed north from Oregon along with 2 other boats. The sea was calm. On the morning of 27th August, the Liebling disappeared. By 10:00am, a coastguard was sent out to search for the boat but was never found.

UM ran through several theories. One theory is that Red took his kids to Colombia, where he was starting a new family. However this theory is ruled out by people who say that if this was the case, they wouldn't have taken Mike Gergen along with them. However it is possible that they could have thrown him overboard or just killed him.

Another theory is that the boat hit a tugboat, however no debris was ever found.

In September 1987, A shrimp boat's net got lodged onto something that was 700 feet in the ocean. The captain was certain that the object wasn't there prior to the Lieblings disappearance. A month later, they returned to the site with a video camera. The cast the net out and retrieved another shrimp net believed to be identical to the one that was on the Liebling. The icy, turbulent waters of the North Pacific prevented a thorough search of the ocean floor.

I believe that the ship has sunk, and that the shrimping boat did run into the Liebling at the bottom of the ocean.

Any updates?

The springer spaniel did it

Just watched this one last night and that shrimp boat just sunk plain and simple. The only other thing I can think of is perhaps Red Dixon might have been using the boat to run a shipment of drugs, possibly from Columbia to the United States and that could have caused the disapperance of Red and his sons, but there is no evidence that he was involved in anything like that so thats speculation at best. I think far and away the most logical explanation is the boat sunk.

I was just going to ask if there had been any upates to this case! Hey guys, it has been a while since I last posted, but my time has been extremely occupied. i became a mommy for the first time on Janury fourth. i had a baby girl and she keeps me on the run! Anyway, what I find extremely cute is that when i watch Unsolved Mysteries, my daughter seems to love the music. As soon as she hears the theme song she turns her little head towards the tv and seems to watch ( dead serious). My boyfriend notices this too. Maybe she just likes the lights of the television! Anyways it is great to be back!

Imagine Robert Stack doing a bit of sweet talking to his lady with that eerie voice of his.

Perhaps someone's going to bed with me tonight. Perhaps...it's you.

AVERMAN · 04-22-2007, 01:07 PM

If you, are looking for some loving tonight, Please call toll free ######## or contact your local law inforcement agency, and ask for Big Robbie, and then perhaps you, could help me solve the mystery, of whats up that skirt of yours.

When we return, an update on last nights unexplained circumstances which led to my date abandoning me at the bar, and abducting my wallet.

Anyways, back to the topic, I think the Megadeth guy has something to do with it.

LOL!! When I read this post, I was laughing my butt off! Thats funny stuff! Yeah maybe my daughter has a crush on Robert Stack... she does tend to favor male voices, particularly low deep ones. Anyway, i do wonder what happened to that man and his sons, as well as the other dude that was with them. It is just so weird how people seem to dissapear off the face of the planet. It is also plain CREEPY.

Yes RS does have a way with the ladies. My six year old was watching a few minutes of UM with me a while back and out of the blue said "I think Robert Stack is handsome".

You know a little off topic but one of my girls when they were babies felt the same way as your baby does about the UM theme but with the Brady Bunch theme song. She would be in her playpen and whenever BB would start she would stop whatever she was doing and stand up and watch the entire song and not move a muscle.

I resurrected this one because I just got done watching it and it absolutely blows my mind! I googled it on about every search engine possible and didn't find anything. This one and the Sara Jo boggles the mind. Any updates on either of them??

The Sara Jo is the one about the five guys who went missing at sea and then one of them turned up in a grave on an island many miles away, right? The boat was also found on that island but there was no sign of the other four men. I asked about that on another board and was told that there is no update.
