This is Straight Out of a Lifetime Movie!!

The disappearance of Olivia Newton-John's boyfriend Patrick McDermott in 2004 has always been shrouded in mystery. Could the case be unsolved because McDermott actually faked the whole thing?

Dateline NBC hired a private investigator to look into the case. As far as the public knows, McDermott supposedly drowned at sea, but investigator Philip Klein believes he actually intentionally went missing to allow his son to cash in a life insurance policy and also to avoid paying debts.

Klein says McDermott has been spotted nearly 20 times since his disappearance, usually along the Mexican and South American coastline.

Newton-John was very outspoken and proactive about McDermott's disappearance, but after little progress was made, she eventually moved on and married businessman John Easterling in 2008.

Exactly! With John Travolta as Patrick McDermott. I can see the reunion scene at the pep rally. "Sandy?" "Danny?"
