There is really an incredible book on this case written by the sister of one of the victims Penny Farmer it's called Dead in the Water.

It was such a moving book I think first of all Penny Farmer is an incredible woman and the way that she's able to find justice for her brother and never give up through this whole process is one of the most admirable things that I've read about in a really long time.

But also her ability to bring out a ton of emotions into the book. I mean you could feel everything that her family was going through and had been through in this book and it's a lot.

So I'm gonna link that below there's also a really good podcast by the BBC that I'm also gonna link but with that being said let's get into it.

in her book there is however one thing worse than not knowing why a loved one has died it's being stuck in limbo not knowing if they're alive or dead but they're classified as missing it's a horrible word and it's one that curdles the blood and sends shivers down the spine of any parent.

I don't think I'll ever feel true happiness again the best part of my life is over.

my beloved best friend Chris

I started to believe that if I thought about Chris and Petta every day they would still be alive at least on some existential level and I could expunge some of that guilt for Chris saving me.
