Cold on the Coast: The Mystery of the Sarah Joe

How can a boat and five men vanish from the Hawaiian coast, eluding a massive Coast Guard search, only for the boat to be found ten years later on a deserted atoll 2,000 miles away? And the most chilling part: next to the boat, a single, handmade grave.

Welcome to "Cold on the Coast." In this episode, we investigate the haunting, unsolved mystery of the Sarah Joe. We'll combine the detective work of a heartbroken father with the hard science of maritime forensics. You'll learn how oceanographers mapped the boat's impossible decade-long journey, how forensic dentists identified the lone victim, and how the initial 1979 search failed. This is a story of a perfect storm, the brutal odds of survival at sea, and a set of questions that remain unanswered. What happened to the other four men? And who dug that grave?
