On July 8, all communication ceased. Twelve days later, the boat returned to Tahiti—renamed, repainted, with patched bullet holes—and only Miles stepped off. Two months later, he tried to buy $152,000 in gold using Bison's passport. Before authorities could question him, Miles overdosed on insulin in Mexico and died without regaining consciousness. He'd confessed to his girlfriend that a fight had spiraled into three deaths, bodies weighted and thrown overboard. But FBI forensics found no evidence supporting his story. Was it murder for money, or a tragic accident gone wrong? The bodies were never found, and the Pacific Ocean keeps its secrets.
