An Unsolved and Mysterious Case: When the Tide Turns Undetermined

It was a breezy Sunday in January 2013. Beloved librarian Patrick Mullins went out on his boat and never returned. As hours turned to days, his unmanned vessel was discovered far away. The horrific discovery came nine days later: Patrick's body, secured to a 25-pound anchor, killed by a shotgun blast to the head. Authorities suggested suicide, but Patrick owned no shotgun, and the boat bore no trace of blood. Crucial surveillance footage that could have shown who was aboard was tragically lost. What dark truth lies hidden beneath the surface of the Manatee River?
