    Season Three | Episode Two: “The Timeline and Scenarios”

    In Episode Two, Will Rice explores the timeline that spans when the fishing expedition departed to when they were first reported missing as well as the scenarios discussed very early on. Was it some type of accident at sea – perhaps mechanical – weather related, or a combination of both? Was Stanley Bain robbed, killed, and his boat hijacked by pirates while lobstering – perhaps somewhere near the island of Cuba? Or... was it something else?
