Residents of Sayulita, a small and sleepy Pacific resort popular with American tourists, have described how a man they knew as Pat Kim worked as a ship's mate on a yacht that takes tourists on short trips to sea.
"He seemed to work hard and keep a low profile," one fisherman told The Sunday Telegraph. "I haven't seen him for a couple of months."
Shown a photograph of Patrick McDermott, who vanished aged 48 shortly after breaking up with the Australian singer and actress after a nine-year relationship, locals gave knowing and warm glances and said the "gringo" had been in and out of town for several years. Mark Rubio, an American hotelier, said that in recent months, Mr McDermott's past had emerged in the town.
"We realised who he was but nobody was bothered," he said. "He kept to himself and hung out down the coast. He hadn't done anything wrong and this is a pretty relaxed place." Mr McDermott was thought to have fallen overboard during a night fishing trip off the California coast in 2005, and Miss Newton-John described his disappearance as "heartbreaking".
However, after years of speculation about his fate, last week a private investigator hired by an American television network said he had now concluded "beyond a reasonable doubt" that the former film lighting technician was still alive.

He’s not in ‘Xanadu’ ?
I guess he didn’t want to be “together forever” with her ...
or “Get Physical” with her
Originally hired by the American television news show Dateline to investigate the mysterious case, he set up a website www.findpatrickmcdermott.com as an internet trap. Ostensibly a source of information and tips, the site also allowed Mr Klein to follow the location of those who logged on.
Money quotes from the article.
I met a man with 7 senorita
And each seniorita had 7 muchachos
And all seven were eating 7 tacos
My salary was cut to less than a quarter
And all those tacos were headed north to the border
LOL!
muchachos
tacos
quarters
How many were headed north to the border?
I’m not up on ON-J gossip, so I don’t know if she has a reputation as being high-maintenance or a diva or a b!tch or what, but just damn. Still a 10 in my book.

Thanks — I was wondering how that tune ended.
Wow, I was wondering why this was ‘breaking news,’ but this is quite an interesting story. It seems that guy was a real douche bag, not only did he not care about Newton grieving for him, but he also abandoned his son.
I find it fascinating how the investigator caught onto him by setting up the site www.findpatrickmcdermott.com and seeing the number of ‘hits’ that came from Mexico and South America’s Pacific Coast.

From all that I’ve read, Olivia is a pretty decent woman.
She’s better off without this freak.
Why not just break up? Why do the whole drowned/disappeared act?
“Twist of Fate”...
Remember that Olivia hit in 1982?
