Back in the early 60's, a guy wanted to take his family on a private cruise. That's all. He chartered a ketch out of Florida and spent a week at sea with his family, the ship's captain, the captain's wife. What they didn't expect was to never be heard from again, except for one touch as nails little girl. She was known as the Sea Orphan, but her real name was Terry-Job Duperrault.
Upon hearing of her survival, the other survivor, who was thought the be the lone one, Julian Harvey asked to be excused from talking to the police. He then went to a motel and slashed various parts of his body, killing himself. In what was believed to be an insurance fraud situation gone awry, Harvey killed his wife, then what he thought was the entirety of the Duperrault family, before escaping a sinking ship.
It's a fascinating tale with a lot of crazy details, so you'll just have to listen!
