David Madott, Omar Shearer, Kent Munro

In this interview you will hear Diana Trepkov speak with  Bill Madott, father of missing David Madott who has never stopped searching for his son and 2 friends who vanished without a trace in the Gulf of Mexico.

 

“David Madott, Omar Shearer and Kent Munro, all 25 years old and residents of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada went on a diving trip to Marco Island, on the western, Gulf side of Florida on November 3, 1994.

In the late afternoon on November 4, while diving a wreck, the Baja California, about 55 miles from the mainland, their boat mysteriously sank.

After a time, the boys  and their host, Jeff Wandich, began swimming to a military communications tower 3 .5 miles away.

Although wearing divers’ wetsuits and Buoyancy Compensators (life jackets) – only Jeff eventually made it to the tower – from which he was rescued 35 hours later.

In the ensuing 2 weeks , despite one of the largest searches in US coast Guard history, supplemented with aircraft, boats and a reward provided by the families – astoundingly, no trace of the boys, their BCs  or any of their personal effects was ever found.

Since then the families and others have continued to investigate this strange disappearance.”
