Have there been any updates in this case? It's from the same episode as the one with the POWs.

There were two cases on missing saliors that I can remember (Besides the one about the sexy reporter and the german fisherman Fabian or something)

The first was one of four saliors who were from Hawaii I think who sailed off in the the late 80s on a fishing trip and never returned and later the remains of one were found on a remote island in the pacific with a cross and pieces of scattered notebook paper

The second was far more perplexing and it was case in the mid 90s where again four fishermen went out sailing around the the coast of the United States (near florida) and they had engine trouble and had to evacuate the boat - when they did so one of the saliors decided to swim off to get help as he was leaving his friends he noticed a large boat pick them up in the distance. The man who was not rescued languished on a raft for four days before being picked up by the USA coast guard - No traces of his companions (although they were picked up by a boat) were ever found. It was assumed that they were being held by the cuban government though because someone from Cuba called the man who was rescued by the coast guard several times telling him simply "I'm bringing them home"

Either way neither case has been updated and I am especially intrigued with the latter.

That's the one I meant. The latter. I hope they update it. Eerie!
