The Basketball Star Who Vanished at Sea - BISON DELE
About this episode
In July 2002, NBA champion Bison Dele sailed from Tahiti aboard his catamaran, the Hakuna Matata, with his girlfriend Serena Karlan, French captain Bertrand Saldo, and his troubled older brother Miles Dabord. 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.
