32. Patrick McDermott
Patrick McDermott may be more famous than he did for his alleged death and connection with Olivia Newton-John. For some years, McDermott and Newton-John had an on-and-off relationship, but McDermott made news in 2005 when he disappeared from a fishing boat off the Los Angeles coast. He wasn’t missing until about a week after disappearing from the boat, and all the other 20-plus passengers gave conflicting reports. McDermott was declared “most likely drowned” in 2008, but then it was suggested he probably faked his own death to cash in on a life insurance claim and lived in Mexico.

33. Slim Wintermute
Slim Wintermute was a basketball player known as part of basketball’s first-ever NCAA Tournament championship teams. Playing for the Oregon Ducks, Wintermute would retire from the University. He would play professional basketball in the National Basketball League for a while before NBA formation. In 1977, Wintermute went missing while he was boating with a friend. The boat set off at Lake Union at 7 am. The boat was found neutral at 2 pm, the other passenger sleeping on board. He claims Wintermute fell asleep on board. Many believe Wintermute’s known heart condition led to a heart attack and fell overboard.
