Supposedly, Patrick McDermott, Olivia Newton John's ex, may be alive, right now on a yacht headed for South America. The crazy thing is that he is not charged with a major international crime, only past child support payments. His ex must have lots of $ to hire an investigator to track him to this extent. I'm guessing he has few assets right now to go after.
IF I am not mistaken also tax evasion. But it was long ago and I am not clear on this any longer.

BUT....
How the "F" can he do this to Olivia? Didn't he want to marry her?
And this is how you treat her? Poor girl went through a lot.
IF he is alive I hope the powers that be get him.
I hate to see women used, manipulated and disregarded.
 
Anyway, the recent television broadcast noted something which I had not heard previously, which was that he had an additional passport made with his middle name as his last name. That passport was not recovered and has recently been active. I believe that was the catalyst for the recent publicity. The investigators believe he is using that passport and want to call him out on it.

And although they note he is not charged with a crime, (and this is correct because he is official deceased), if he returns there will no doubt be charges - insurance fraud being one of them, and back child support being another. However, they seem to want to let him think he could come back without legal ramifications, and perhaps the family would be willing to drop charges to have him home. :confused:

Snipped...

I believe Patrick Kim is his given name, although his Hollywood name is Patrick Kim McDermott. This is why he would not be charged with a crime, i.e. passport.

Can you imagine how much $$$ is being spent on this investigation? There are so many dead-beat dads out there, is it worth it to spend so much trying to find just one of them?
 
Dawn thankyou for that

LOL obviously then her marriage now is legal as she wasnt married before

For the Record IMO Olivia had NOTHING to do with his disappearance !


I bet Oliva is watching it, this man of 9 years her partner just up and vanished and pretended to be dead. she also had a daughter that was fond of him as well.

I don't believe Olivia would be a part of this deception, she has been through breast cancer and is heavily involved in the promotion of Breast Cancer Awareness, I don't believe someone that is as Charitable as her would be a faker and go along with this deceit

I don't find it suspicious that she is logging into the site daily. Think of how many of us would show up daily on a case we were really interested in, let alone one involving our former significant other?
 
If I were ONJ I would be watching that website. The last thing she needs is to get blindsided by the media with a development. Better to have an idea if something is going to "break" so she can prepare a good statement and not be caught off guard.

She was with him for 9 years. As someone who has been in a long term relationship that imploded, the last thing I would want would be to be blindsided by his reappearance --not because she still loves him, but because there's pride involved!
 
Patrick disappeared in 2005. ONJ became romantically involved in 2007 with John Easterling, and they married in Jun 2008. Her romance with Patrick was an off-on affair - assume she's gotton on with her life w/o him.

According to recent stories, P sent a fax to an investigator, asking him to stop looking for him.

She did move on with her life and that is agood thing.
But the fax ---HA?
Asked him to stop looking for him?
Strange. I am not so sure it is about child support, this is a very costly investigation.
I have a feeling there is more to it.

What will it accomplish if he's found? Jail for insurance fraud? (This could be difficult to prove.) If the thought is that he's working as a deckhand on various boats, paying back child support could be a difficult thing. From this video clip it appears that Dateline is paying a private investigator. Check out the last comments - leave him alone.

Olivia Newton-John's ex-beau found 'alive'

A private eye says he's tracked down Olivia Newton-John's ex-boyfriend -- who was once thought to be missing at sea -- and found he's alive and well and living in Mexico, according to a report.

[snip]

He is now living on a boat off the coast of Acapulco, and told detective Philip Klein that he wants to be left alone, according to the London Telegraph.

Klein said he believed that McDermott faked his own death to dodge debts.

Klein, who was hired by NBC's Dateline, told the paper he tracked McDermott down by putting up a Web site about his case and catching McDermott logging on.
 
I'm not willing to change the thread title until LE confirms that he is alive. I have a feeling this could be the case of a P.I. wanting a bit of publicity for himself, kwim?
 
I agree Hoppy, there has been speculation he has been alive for a long time. Best to wait for LE confirmation.

You're right. I remember hearing about this website 6 months ago - the one he supposidly logged into - yet nothing has been confirmed by LE that I've heard. This has been going on for awhile.
 
HLN reporting that detective hired by Dateline has located PM and that it has been confirmed.
 
This story pisses me off. So he has been found, has been labeled a deadbeat parent, yet the case is closed? He is free to continue to evade his responsibilities and not be held accountable? I hope I am reading that wrong, because that is ridiculously unfair, especially to his kids and ex-wife.
