It is time the truth come out. The call came in the middle of the night it was their friend in a panic. He had gone missing off the boat and that is where it started what did you think . That was the ticket to the count of three repeat of that let me here on wartime type of thing no matter how many times you heard it, it just did not make sense. You think of all these things, it rushes through your head. Except, this was clearly true. I just saw disaster happening, in a foreign country. You say this cant be, this cant be. I knew it. He has to be another explanation. There was some other explanation all right, it just was not the one anyone was expecting. My instinct said, this is going to go sideways fast, i just did not know which way or how. How we were going to get there. Maple says a marvelous city, and his beautiful market wasnt and castigated reporter for the italian newspaper it is full of life, it is full of colors, and it is a beautiful place to visit, as a tourist. One of those tourist was an american who arrived in naples in may 2006 on board a cruise ship, the Island Escape. The Island Escape started from majorca in spain, and then stopped in sicily. While he had booked the cruise as a way to rekindle the flame with his longtime love, the couple had been married for years, and then divorced. This was a new beginning, a chance to rediscover some love. They spent the day exploring the island of sisterly, they took a bus to see the sites. Here is mickey by the fountain. After the excursion, they returned to the Island Escape, and the crucial began its journey to the next stop, naples. Less than 24 hours later, and still in open water, the trip took an awful turn. Was sound asleep back in florida when the phone rang. 3 10 in the morning, i was in the bed with my dog, i picked up the phone, and concerned, he said i did not have a problem. I said where are you. He says, im in italy. I said, okay. He says ricky is missing. I said what do you mean she is missing. He said, we cannot find her. When did he tell you he had last seen her. He said he went about that night, and they had tungsten a club, he couldnt sleep, so he took some ambien, and he woke up the next morning and she was not there. That is when lonnie sounded the alarm . Yes. Apparently he reported her, could not find her. He asked them to look. The crew of the Island Escape started searching the ship, and the captain made an announcement to passengers to be on the lookout for her. Then he checked lonnie and mickeys cabin, and found nothing amiss. He recalled a bottle of wine, and this chair on the balcony and an upright position. According to the captain, the mediterranean had been calm. There was good weather, and it was a quiet night, and the sea was very quiet. The crew showed the photo to the other passengers, then as scheduled. The Island Escaped up in naples, i kept saying, she has to be there somewhere, something has happened. It can just disappear. The trust anything about whether it felt the crew is doing enough to look. He said they claimed they had been over the ship top and bottom. I thought she would turn up maybe she was insured, but maybe she was almost 12 hours later, the escape prepared to leave port, and continued on with the cruise. There is no sign of her. He backed up as, things and her this and cut off the Island Escape. Reality was setting in. The woman he loved may have gone overboard. He got the coast guard to start searching, such a search is very challenging and very difficult, because when a person disappears in open waters, it is very difficult to find the body. He checked into the hotel, where his room he spoke again with bill. He said everything and here is an italian. He said i do not speak the language. He said im scared. He also spoke with his friend susan, who says she could hear fear in his voice. He was claiming that he was being treated unjustly, that no one spoke english, and that everyone was just being mean to him and treating him as if he had done something wrong, and he was out of his element and did not know what to do. That is when made a decision, that would come back to haunt him. Coming up, mickey is missing. Usually bodies are never found when they disappear in open waters. And he is desperate. He was a disheveled master, and he was acting fearful. It just seemed like he should just go. To protect himself . Yes. He says can you get me out of here . When dateline continues. Of my life. And papa is hungry. And while youre hittin the trail, im hitting your cooler. Oh, cheddar ive got hot dog buns and your cutrate Car Insurance might not pay for all this.

You are the brother of mickey . Yes. Well, she is missing off the cruise. Missing . What do you mean missing. Go find her. Mickeys ex husband, and boyfriend was in a naples hotel, he was waiting to hear from the Italian Coast Guard which was searching the mediterranean for mickey. According to his friend, he sounded frantic. He was a mess. He was acting fearful. He was acting very fearful and irrational. He was a pretty spectacular fireable of an attorney. He graduated from law school with honest in 1992 and he he knew right away when he saw her, he would ask her out, so forth. He really pursued her, didnt he . Yes he. Did make you a smart, beautiful, had a great sense of humor. Was also a secretary who worked side by side with nikki for several years. He worked for a high fired partner in the firm, she had to know what she was doing. Wanda carter also worked with mickey at the law firm. When there was a deadline and sometimes i was pressed for time, she would offer, she would just come up and say what should i do . She would step up. Then he will start working with lana, she started working overtime, and apparently that is when she started to work for in the evenings nobody us around, or few people are around. I dont something blossomed. They kept that alive at work . They definitely did. He was charming. She definitely thought that. Her niece was in college than. What did you like about . Him i think she liked that he had similar interests, that he was a hard, worker and she appreciated that. Mickey and lonnie brought this home in california, they married in 1995. That bliss did not last. That mueller that he initially, had that initial attraction disappeared with time. It did not take long for the two to crumble like a jungle game, when the pieces started to come out and it all toppled over. It did not take long for him to start complaining. What was she telling . You a lot of it had to do with control. Control of money. He was spending a lot of money. Then, certain things she wanted, she had to run it by him first. Even though they were both making money, they were both contributing to the marriage, but im in charge, i make the Financial Decisions here . He is in control. Guys like to be in control. I have noticed that. It is kind of a shame. So the wall came tumbling down. Like many relationships, this one was complicated. After six years of marriage, the couple divorced. He got an apartment in downtown l. A. Near his office. You still spent time at the home he and she owned together in Orange County. Somehow, that seemed to work better. They were still close. Maybe, they would work things out after all. In early 2006, she booked them both on a romantic cruise. It was my understanding, he was trying to repair their marriage, repair their relationship, and go on a cruise together. He left her in the corner . It sounded like a really big step for him. In fact, he had booked two cabins on board the Island Escape. He says we will take a cruise, mickey and i, and we want you and susan to join us. Then, susans mother needed an operation, and she and bill had to council at the last minute. Now, just two days into that cruise, mickey was missing. If she had in fact fallen overboard, what were the odds of finding her . According to Italian Journalist marco, not could. Usually, bodies are never found when they are disappeared in open waters. He spoke with both bill and susan several times while he was in naples, they worried what might happen to him in a foreign country with an unfamiliar legal system. What he was describing was a hostile environment, and we have seen or heard of people in other countries being arrested and unjustless or unfairly accused of something at a time being restrained. It seemed like he needed to come back. Before the spiral out of control in some legal way that you cant get your hands around . I dont even think i was thinking that far had, but that time you are just sitting there thinking, okay, she is missing, now they are looking at, when you are not rationalizing or looking forward at all. You are just saying, get yourself out where you can communicate, and get questions answered. It seemed like he should just go. To protect himself . Yes. He says, can you get me out of here . I said yes, i can do that. There is any tally in saying that goes, see naples, and die. The idea is that everyone should visit this memorable place while they are alive, and once you see it, you may not want to leave. Well, mickey did not make it to naples. Now, he has definitely wanted to leave. He took a cab to the naples airport, he booked him a flight to florida where he lived. All of this while he was still missing. That would not last. Coming up, i could not believe it at all. It is like, how does this happen . A sudden discovery at sea. I was in shock, disbelief. Nothing i would have ever imagined could have prepared me for this.
