When Olivia Newton-John’s husband went missing during a fishing trip in 2005, he was presumed dead by authorities.

Private investigators are now saying, however, that Patrick McDermott is actually alive and kicking it in Mexico. According to the P.I’s, Patrick faked his own death years ago, got a new passport under his birth name of Patrick Kim, and got a job as a deckhand in Sayulita - a Mexican fishing town. they received 16 tips of sightings over the years, as well as a fax on his behalf which read:

Pat has asked that I portray to you his innocence. Pat has committed no crime. Pat simply wishes to be left alone.

Let him live his life in peace and harmony. He is safe and has started anew again in a new place both physically and mentally.

Stop this search immediately.

Sources say that Patrick was bankrupt when he left Olivia, and owed back child support for a teenage son with his ex-wife Yvette Nipar.

Despite his wishes, investigators are still searching for Patrick. They say that they’re now close to finding him.

Olivia has moved on and married businessman John Easterling.
