The Story Of Patrick McDermott

     Patrick Kim McDermott disappeared after an overnight fishing trip from San Pedro, California on July 1, 2005.  According to witnesses, McDermott paid his galley tab, which consisted of a drink and two hot dogs about an hour before the boat arrived in San Pedro.

     Several days passed before anyone reported Patrick missing.  He failed to show up at a family event on July 6 and relatives started searching for him on July 11.  Items that belonged to Patrick were left on the boat, including his wallet and keys.

     Other witnesses claim they saw Patrick leave the boat on July 1.  The U.S. Coast Guard is still treating this as a missing person’s case.  Some have speculated that McDermott faked his disappearance because of overwhelming financial problems and family distress.

     Patrick is divorced from former actress Yvette Nipar, and reportedly owed back child support to her for their now 15 year old son.  He is most notably recognized as long time boyfriend of Australian singer/actress Olivia Newton-John.  Some have claimed their relationship had ended prior to Patrick’s disappearance.

   Over the past 20 months there have been 16 sightings of Patrick in Mexico. Investigators have been tracking Patrick throughout Mexico. He is believed to be working on a Yacht in the pacfic ocean. Investigators have tracked McDermott to a small town north of Puerto Vallarta through investigative means. Investigators believe that McDermott will again attempt to find a location in Mexico to hid in order not to be seen by the public and to keep a low profile. He was last seen less than 20 days ago.
