This is a strange one; the best friend tells the tale. So many people get lost at sea!

I heard about this in Greta, this has to be one of the strangest cases I've ever heard about. It sounds like he was abducted by pirates or something, but then that doesn't sound right, either. I hope this friend and his family get some answers at some point. It's a shame that the Secret Service cannot help them.

very interesting fact about the boat having no gas left when it was found...

it had 180 gallons of gas unaccounted for.

Is it possible that he was arrested, by mistaken identity, by authorities and is being held as one of the "Homeland Security" prisoners? Sounds crazy I know....

That's a weird one.
Here's another.

Yeah, it is strange. After all is said and done, I just had to post it as his dear friend is just so dedicated to finding him. I do not believe that Jim had any involvement with any bad elements, no staging a fake death, no dirty dealings. If there are bad elements involved, then he was just as surprised as we are now.Peace,

Was this is the same area as Trindade's disappearance? i'm not terribly familiar with the Florida coastline and I don't have time to consult a map. Sounds like something bad going on down there. The poor Eddleman woman, both her husband and son missing.

Well I don't know which of those are the strangest. How does a boat that left the Naples area(west coast of FL, Gulf of Mexico) end up washing ashore in the Atlantic ocean on the North East coast of Florida? T-Rex, have you found any articles that lists the cause of death of Gary Lisk? I remember another case where a whole family went missing while boating around the Bahamas. If I can find the link I'll post it.

[T-Rex]

This article says Gary Lisk's body was too badly decomposed to determine cause of death.

Interesting...i never though about the parental abduction theory (in the Eddleman case)
