Olivia Newton-John reveals she hired private investigators to find ex-lover who mysteriously disappeared in 2005
English-Australian singer, songwriter, and actress Olivia Newton-John has laid bare some of the more private details of her life in her new tell-all book, 'Don't Stop Believin.' However, the most striking passages pertained to Patrick McDermott, an American cameraman of Korean descent whom she met a year after her divorce from Matt Lattanzi, and who mysteriously disappeared following a 2005 fishing trip off the Californian coast.
The then-48-year-old was a passenger on the fishing boat 'Freedom' which had left from the San Pedro marina for an overnight fishing trip. Twenty two passengers and three crew members gave contradicting reports of his whereabouts both during and at the conclusion of the trip, and his disappearance would only be noticed after he failed to attend a family event a few days later.
