- 0:29Speaker 3: All right, let's get into today's story.
- 0:43Speaker 1: On July twentieth, nineteen sixty eight, a small fishing boat
- 0:46Speaker 1: called Elfusto took off from their port on La Palma Island,
- 0:49Speaker 1: which is part of the Canary Islands, which is a
- 0:51Speaker 1: Spanish archipelago, and they took off for Elhiero, which was
- 0:55Speaker 1: another island about fifty miles to the south. On board Elfausto,
- 0:59Speaker 1: we're three very experienced fishermen and sailors. They were the
- 1:03Speaker 1: brothers Ramon and Eliberto Hernandez, as well as their cousin
- 1:06Speaker 1: Miguel Acosta. Their trip to El Hierro was uneventful. They
- 1:10Speaker 1: took about seven hours. They arrived at the port in
- 1:13Speaker 1: the early evening hours and they unloaded their cargo onto
- 1:16Speaker 1: the island, which was actually explosives used in agriculture, so
- 1:20Speaker 1: they unloaded all that and then the three of them
- 1:22Speaker 1: went to get some food and relaxed for a few
- 1:24Speaker 1: minutes before they came back to the dock and began
- 1:27Speaker 1: preparing to leave. So that evening, as the three men
- 1:30Speaker 1: are standing on their boat, repacking the ship and getting
- 1:33Speaker 1: ready to leave in the next few minutes, they see
- 1:35Speaker 1: this man running down the dock who's frantically waving at them,
- 1:38Speaker 1: trying to get their attention, and so they stop what
- 1:41Speaker 1: they're doing and they beckoned him over and say, you know,
- 1:43Speaker 1: what would he need? And the man introduced himself as
- 1:46Speaker 1: Julio Garcia. He was clearly very upset. He was talking
- 1:49Speaker 1: really quickly and they had to slow him down a
- 1:50Speaker 1: couple times to try to understand what he was saying.
- 1:53Speaker 1: But he communicated that his wife had called him earlier
- 1:56Speaker 1: that day and she said their two year old daughter
- 1:58Speaker 1: was very sick and he needed to come home right away,
- 2:01Speaker 1: and he ran down to catch the ferry back to
- 2:03Speaker 1: his home island of La Palma, so the same island
- 2:06Speaker 1: these three men are from, and he missed the ferry,
- 2:09Speaker 1: and the next ferry going back to his home island
- 2:11Speaker 1: was not for another two days, and so Julio was
- 2:14Speaker 1: running up and down the dock trying to flag anybody
- 2:16Speaker 1: who owned a ship that might be willing to take
- 2:19Speaker 1: him to La Palma, even if it was out of
- 2:20Speaker 1: the way. He was prepared to pay for it. And
- 2:22Speaker 1: so of course the Elfausto crew said, we're actually going
- 2:25Speaker 1: to La Palma. We lived there too, and we'd be
- 2:27Speaker 1: happy to take you. You don't need to pay for this,
- 2:29Speaker 1: and so Julio begins to help them load the rest
- 2:31Speaker 1: of their equipment onto the boat, which included some food.
- 2:34Speaker 1: They had twenty two pounds of fruit, and they had
- 2:36Speaker 1: some fresh water. And then once everything was loaded up,
- 2:39Speaker 1: they undid their lines and they set sail for La Palma.
- 2:41Speaker 1: They took off at about two thirty in the morning
- 2:43Speaker 1: on July twenty first. The water was very calm during
- 2:46Speaker 1: their return trip.
- 2:47Speaker 2: The only thing they.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Had to contend with was a light mist that formed
- 2:51Speaker 1: over the water. In the early morning hours, right after
- 2:53Speaker 1: the sun came up, but it really wasn't enough to
- 2:56Speaker 1: affect their ability to navigate. But even if the mist
- 2:59Speaker 1: was more severe than people realized, Ramon Aliberto and Miguel
- 3:03Speaker 1: were very experienced sailors that in fact had been sailing
- 3:07Speaker 1: on this particular stretch of water ever since they were teenagers,
- 3:11Speaker 1: and they had navigated these waters in far worse conditions
- 3:14Speaker 1: and had always managed to get through it. But at
- 3:16Speaker 1: ten am that morning, when the Fausto crew was supposed
- 3:19Speaker 1: to arrive at La Palma, they didn't and the owner
- 3:22Speaker 1: of the boat itself was waiting at the dock for them,
- 3:25Speaker 1: and when they didn't show up, he wasn't overly concerned
- 3:28Speaker 1: because he knew these three men. He regularly went out
- 3:31Speaker 1: on this particular boat with them. In fact, he normally
- 3:34Speaker 1: would have gone on the trip to Elhiro with them,
- 3:36Speaker 1: but he had commitments on La Palma, so he didn't go,
- 3:39Speaker 1: and so he's not particularly worried about them. He figures
- 3:42Speaker 1: they ran into some mechanical issue and they're getting to
- 3:45Speaker 1: figure it out, but they're just late. But after a
- 3:47Speaker 1: little while, the families of the Alfalsto crew started to
- 3:51Speaker 1: ask the owner, you know, where are they, Why aren't
- 3:52Speaker 1: they here?
- 3:53Speaker 2: And so the owner, who again.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Is not overly concerned but wants to make sure the
- 3:57Speaker 1: families are not worrying, says, you know what, I'll send
- 4:00Speaker 1: a search boat that will take the exact route Elfausto.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Was on, but in reverse.
- 4:05Speaker 1: And I'm sure they can just drive straight out there
- 4:08Speaker 1: and they'll run into them and they will help them fix,
- 4:11Speaker 1: you know, whatever issue they have, which is more than
- 4:13Speaker 1: likely mechanical. That's an old boat and we've certainly run
- 4:16Speaker 1: into other mechanical issues in the past.
- 4:17Speaker 2: So this search boat goes out.
- 4:19Speaker 1: And for hours and hours and hours, they're looking along
- 4:22Speaker 1: the exact same charted course that Elfaousto was supposed to
- 4:26Speaker 1: be on, and.
- 4:27Speaker 2: They're nowhere to be found.
- 4:28Speaker 1: And so they radio back in to the owner of
- 4:30Speaker 1: the boat and they say, look, we can't find him.
- 4:32Speaker 2: What he want us to do?
- 4:33Speaker 1: And he called them back in and he realized that
- 4:35Speaker 1: you know what, if we can't find them anywhere near
- 4:38Speaker 1: the route, that probably something more sinister has happened to them.
- 4:41Speaker 1: And it was at this point that he got in
- 4:43Speaker 1: touch with authorities and they launched a much more formal
- 4:46Speaker 1: search and rescue effort.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Planes and boats.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Spilled out over the sea to look for Elfausto and
- 4:51Speaker 1: her crew, and everybody who was looking was operating with
- 4:54Speaker 1: an enormous sense of urgency because anybody who was looking
- 4:57Speaker 1: had been told these guys don't have money in the
- 5:00Speaker 1: way of supplies.
- 5:01Speaker 2: They have twenty two pounds of fruit, and.
- 5:03Speaker 1: They have a very limited freshwater supply, and so if
- 5:05Speaker 1: we don't find them within a couple of days, there's
- 5:08Speaker 1: a very good chance that we're going to find four corpses.
- 5:10Speaker 1: But despite searcher's motivation to find these guys, a couple
- 5:13Speaker 1: of days passed and there was no sign of them,
- 5:15Speaker 1: and unfortunately, people did start to think, I think it's
- 5:19Speaker 1: more likely we're going to find four dead bodies than
- 5:21Speaker 1: four sailors waiting to be rescued. But on July twenty fifth,
- 5:24Speaker 1: four days after alfalso left El Hierro on their way
- 5:28Speaker 1: to La Palma and then.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Of course got lost.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Four days after that, a British ship called Duquessa radioed
- 5:34Speaker 1: in an incredible message. They said they had found this
- 5:37Speaker 1: fishing boat that was drifting along and there was four
- 5:39Speaker 1: people standing on the deck and they were waving flashlights
- 5:42Speaker 1: around to try to get their attention, and as this
- 5:45Speaker 1: British ship moved up closer to the fishing boat, they
- 5:48Speaker 1: were able to read on the hull the call sign
- 5:50Speaker 1: of the boat, and it was, of course Alfusto. Where
- 5:53Speaker 1: Alfalsto had been found was one hundred and twenty miles
- 5:57Speaker 1: west of La Palma, so they had drifted way way
- 6:01Speaker 1: off course, But once they pulled up alongside of them,
- 6:04Speaker 1: they could see that not only were the four crew
- 6:06Speaker 1: members alive, they actually seemed like they were in pretty
- 6:09Speaker 1: good spirits. They certainly were dehydrated and were very thankful
- 6:12Speaker 1: to get some water, and they were starving, and they
- 6:15Speaker 1: were obviously pretty freaked out because they had just been
- 6:17Speaker 1: adrift in the middle of the ocean and probably were
- 6:19Speaker 1: realizing that this could end really badly for us.
- 6:22Speaker 2: But beyond all that, they seemed okay.
- 6:24Speaker 1: And very quickly that message was passed to friends and
- 6:27Speaker 1: family of the Alfausto crew back on La Palma, who's
- 6:30Speaker 1: waiting anxiously to hear any news about their loved ones,
- 6:33Speaker 1: and when they were told they had been found and
- 6:35Speaker 1: they were alive, they were overjoyed because they thought they
- 6:38Speaker 1: were dead, but after the initial transmission had been sent
- 6:41Speaker 1: out by Dukesa saying, hey, we found the crew and
- 6:44Speaker 1: they're alive and they're good. Well, a couple hours went
- 6:47Speaker 1: by and the Ducessa.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Sent another transmission that was very strange.
- 6:50Speaker 1: They said the crew of El Fausto was refusing to
- 6:54Speaker 1: be towed back home. They were saying that our boats
- 6:57Speaker 1: just fine, you know.
- 6:58Speaker 2: We're good.
- 6:59Speaker 1: We just you just need a couple of supplies and
- 7:01Speaker 1: we'll be on our way. And so the captain of
- 7:04Speaker 1: Dukesa says to the men, then why are you out here?
- 7:07Speaker 1: How did you get one hundred and twenty miles west
- 7:11Speaker 1: of La Palma. Something had to have gone wrong with
- 7:13Speaker 1: your boat, So what happened? But the men didn't really
- 7:16Speaker 1: answer his question. They just said, oh, no, there's nothing
- 7:19Speaker 1: wrong with our boat. There's no mechanical issues. Everything's fine.
- 7:23Speaker 1: You know, we appreciate your offer, but we just need
- 7:26Speaker 1: a couple of supplies.
- 7:27Speaker 2: And we'll be on our way.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Even Julio, who had made this special effort to get
- 7:32Speaker 1: home to his sick daughter and to see his wife,
- 7:34Speaker 1: even he is saying.
- 7:35Speaker 2: No, we don't need to tell we're good.
- 7:37Speaker 1: And so the captain of the DUKESA is looking at
- 7:39Speaker 1: these guys, thinking, what am I missing here?
- 7:41Speaker 2: You just drifted one hundred and twenty miles away. You
- 7:44Speaker 2: probably should have died.
- 7:45Speaker 1: You're very lucky that we happened to find you in
- 7:49Speaker 1: the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. You know, had we
- 7:51Speaker 1: not found you, you probably would have died of dehydration
- 7:53Speaker 1: in the next couple of days.
- 7:55Speaker 2: And so we've found you.
- 7:56Speaker 1: We're offering to bring you ashore to guarantee that you
- 8:00Speaker 1: will get to see your sick daughter and to see
- 8:03Speaker 1: your wife, and for you all to see your families
- 8:05Speaker 1: and your friends. And you're telling us to leave, and
- 8:08Speaker 1: you're telling us that there's nothing wrong with your boat,
- 8:10Speaker 1: when clearly something happened. But the captain of the DUKESA
- 8:13Speaker 1: could not convince them to get towed in. They were
- 8:16Speaker 1: totally not going to do it, and apparently they were
- 8:19Speaker 1: very polite about it. They said, look, we really appreciate
- 8:22Speaker 1: the offer, but really our boat is just fine. We
- 8:25Speaker 1: just need some food, water, cigarettes, and some fuel and
- 8:28Speaker 1: will be good. And so ultimately the crew of the
- 8:31Speaker 1: DUKESA obliged their request and they gave them eighteen hours
- 8:35Speaker 1: worth of fuel along with a whole bunch of cigarettes
- 8:38Speaker 1: and water and food, and they watched as the four
- 8:41Speaker 1: men sailed east towards La Palma, and they were waving
- 8:44Speaker 1: the whole time. Everything seemed fine, and then they vanished
- 8:47Speaker 1: over the horizon, and the captain of Duceso would call
- 8:50Speaker 1: in over the radio that based on where they were
- 8:53Speaker 1: and how close they were to La Palma, they should
- 8:55Speaker 1: expect to see them arriving at port.
- 8:57Speaker 2: At about seven pm that night.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Back on the pond, my friends, family and hundreds of
- 9:01Speaker 1: other people from the island went down to the dock
- 9:04Speaker 1: and were drinking wine and having a big party celebrating
- 9:07Speaker 1: the imminent return of their friends and their loved ones.
- 9:11Speaker 1: But unfortunately seven pm came and went and they didn't
- 9:14Speaker 1: show up, and so of course the family of the
- 9:17Speaker 1: crew became very worried that, oh my gosh, this this
- 9:21Speaker 1: nightmare is starting all over again.
- 9:23Speaker 2: And the owner of Elfusto came over to them and
- 9:25Speaker 2: reassured them that.
- 9:26Speaker 1: He's been in touch with the authorities who were speaking
- 9:30Speaker 1: to the captain of the Duquessa, who were speaking to
- 9:33Speaker 1: our friends and family and loved ones on Elfausto, and
- 9:37Speaker 1: everything's fine. They have all the supplies, they need, they
- 9:39Speaker 1: have all the fuel they need. I'm sure they're just
- 9:42Speaker 1: running a little bit late. Everything is totally fine, and
- 9:44Speaker 1: so friends and family and some diehard supporters stayed down
- 9:47Speaker 1: at the dock for several more hours until it became
- 9:50Speaker 1: clear that something's gone wrong and unfortunately this nightmare is
- 9:54Speaker 1: not over. The next morning, after Elfusto and her crew
- 9:57Speaker 1: were once again labeled missing, Spain kicked off their largest
- 10:01Speaker 1: ever search for missing people. They had bombers flying overhead,
- 10:05Speaker 1: They had military and civilian ships all over the area
- 10:09Speaker 1: where the Duquesa had made contact with Alfausto. They had
- 10:12Speaker 1: so many people combing the water, so many planes overhead,
- 10:15Speaker 1: and for two weeks they looked everywhere and they couldn't
- 10:18Speaker 1: find anything. And finally they had to call it off
- 10:21Speaker 1: and they said, look, we don't know what happened to them,
- 10:23Speaker 1: and they declared them lost at sea, which basically meant
- 10:27Speaker 1: we think they're dead, but we'll probably.
- 10:28Speaker 2: Never know for sure.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Two months later, on October ninth, an Italian merchant ship
- 10:33Speaker 1: called the Ana Demayo, who was on their way to Venezuela,
- 10:36Speaker 1: spotted a small fishing boat way off in the distance
- 10:39Speaker 1: that was just bobbing around aimlessly, and the first thing
- 10:42Speaker 1: they noticed was this ship is far too small to
- 10:45Speaker 1: be making a cross oceanic voyage.
- 10:48Speaker 2: They shouldn't be out here.
- 10:49Speaker 1: And as they got closer they could tell that there
- 10:52Speaker 1: was no one standing on deck or in the cabin.
- 10:54Speaker 2: There's no one driving this boat.
- 10:56Speaker 1: And so finally they got so close they could read
- 10:58Speaker 1: the hull and it says Alfausto. So the Anademaio pulls
- 11:01Speaker 1: up right alongside Alfausto. They tethered themselves together so it
- 11:04Speaker 1: doesn't float away, and two of the Italian sailors get
- 11:08Speaker 1: on board Alfausto and they're yelling out to see if
- 11:11Speaker 1: anybody's there, but no one's responding. And they're looking around
- 11:14Speaker 1: and the ship is in great condition. There's no sign
- 11:17Speaker 1: of obvious damage or any violence that might have taken
- 11:20Speaker 1: place on here. They go into the cabin where the
- 11:22Speaker 1: steering wheel is and they're looking for some sort of
- 11:25Speaker 1: log book that would have documented, you know, what happened
- 11:28Speaker 1: on the ship, but there's no log book, and so
- 11:30Speaker 1: the Italians were left scratching their head thinking how could
- 11:33Speaker 1: a perfectly seaworthy boat wind up abandoned in the middle
- 11:37Speaker 1: of the Atlantic ocean where's their crew? But they still
- 11:40Speaker 1: needed to go down below into the little space that
- 11:43Speaker 1: was the engine room. And so the two sailors that
- 11:45Speaker 1: had boarded to look around, they make their way over
- 11:47Speaker 1: to the section of the deck where there's this hatch
- 11:50Speaker 1: that they open up and they look down and they
- 11:52Speaker 1: smell this horrible smell and they turn on their light
- 11:55Speaker 1: and they're met with this horrible and inexplicable scene. Laying
- 11:58Speaker 1: on the ground inside of the engine room, on his
- 12:01Speaker 1: back was a dead man who was partially mummified. He
- 12:04Speaker 1: had no clothes on, and he was clutching a transistor radio.
- 12:08Speaker 1: And so the two Italians that found him, they stepped
- 12:10Speaker 1: back and they had to compose themselves, and then one
- 12:13Speaker 1: of them actually went down to look around for clues
- 12:15Speaker 1: and see if perhaps there's other bodies down there. And
- 12:18Speaker 1: so when he went down, it was just the one body,
- 12:21Speaker 1: and he could only find one other clue, and it
- 12:23Speaker 1: was this small notebook that was positioned right behind the
- 12:26Speaker 1: dead body that they didn't see when they first looked down.
- 12:29Speaker 1: So the Italian sailors leave the engine room and they
- 12:31Speaker 1: take the notebook back to their ship and they open
- 12:34Speaker 1: it up and the first thing they see is the
- 12:36Speaker 1: middle section of the notebook has been torn out. In fact,
- 12:39Speaker 1: twenty eight pages were missing, and all they were left
- 12:42Speaker 1: with was a couple of pages at the beginning and
- 12:45Speaker 1: a single page at the end. The first couple of
- 12:47Speaker 1: pages just were a couple of notes and some simple
- 12:50Speaker 1: math calculations, nothing significant. The last page appeared to be
- 12:54Speaker 1: a farewell of sorts, but the language that was used
- 12:57Speaker 1: was a little bit confusing and it was difficult to reach,
- 13:00Speaker 1: and so the Italians were not entirely sure what any
- 13:03Speaker 1: of it actually meant, and so they figured it would
- 13:05Speaker 1: be best to just give the notebook to authorities and
- 13:08Speaker 1: they could figure out what it meant. And so the
- 13:10Speaker 1: captain of the Anademayo radio's into Spanish authorities that they've
- 13:14Speaker 1: found Alfalsto and that they intend to tow it back
- 13:18Speaker 1: to Venezuela, where they were already going, at which point
- 13:20Speaker 1: they'll turn over everything they found and authorities can take
- 13:23Speaker 1: it from there. So the Italians put a tow line
- 13:26Speaker 1: on the bow of Alfausto and began towing. Two days later,
- 13:29Speaker 1: Spanish authorities received a crushing telegram, apparently the night before,
- 13:33Speaker 1: as Alfausto was being towed, it suddenly lurched forward and
- 13:37Speaker 1: went bowed down into the water and sunk so rapidly
- 13:41Speaker 1: that it ripped the toe line off of the back
- 13:43Speaker 1: of the Anademayo and was underwater well before they could
- 13:46Speaker 1: do anything to try to stop it. The crew of
- 13:49Speaker 1: the Anademaio swore they had followed procedure and they knew
- 13:52Speaker 1: what they were doing, and this was just kind of
- 13:54Speaker 1: a freak thing. But regardless of how or why it happened,
- 13:57Speaker 1: the ship was now gone, and so too was the
- 14:00Speaker 1: dead bodies. They couldn't even positively identify whoever. That was.
- 14:03Speaker 2: All they had was that notebook. They were covered from
- 14:06Speaker 2: inside the engine room.
- 14:07Speaker 1: The notebook was sent to La Palma, where it was
- 14:09Speaker 1: put in front of the families of the four men
- 14:12Speaker 1: who were on al Falsto, and very quickly, Julio's wife
- 14:15Speaker 1: was able to identify his handwriting. He apparently had a
- 14:18Speaker 1: unique way of writing, and she was used to reading it,
- 14:21Speaker 1: and so she said, that's definitely his writing, and in fact,
- 14:23Speaker 1: I recognized that notebook.
- 14:25Speaker 2: He kept that notebook to track.
- 14:26Speaker 1: Payments because he was a mechanic and people requested his services,
- 14:29Speaker 1: and that's what he used to track payments. This, of course,
- 14:32Speaker 1: meant the dead man inside of the engine room was
- 14:34Speaker 1: almost certainly Julio. Julio's wife examined the notebook and she
- 14:38Speaker 1: was able to decipher that last page, at least most
- 14:41Speaker 1: of it, and she said it was this very detailed
- 14:44Speaker 1: description of exactly what she needed to do once he died,
- 14:48Speaker 1: because clearly, based on the way he was writing, he
- 14:50Speaker 1: knew he was about to die. And at first it says,
- 14:53Speaker 1: you know, here's how you access my insurance policy, and
- 14:56Speaker 1: here are the different properties I own and how you
- 14:58Speaker 1: go about selling them. And then in his final moments,
- 15:01Speaker 1: he scrawled one last message at the very bottom of
- 15:04Speaker 1: the last page that said, don't ever tell our son
- 15:07Speaker 1: all that has happened to me.
- 15:09Speaker 2: You know that God wanted this fade for me. Love you.
- 15:12Speaker 1: So if Julio was so sure he was about to
- 15:14Speaker 1: die that he would take the time to write out
- 15:17Speaker 1: a detailed list of instructions for his wife to follow
- 15:20Speaker 1: when he died, well, then why didn't he take the
- 15:22Speaker 1: time to also offer a small explanation as to what
- 15:27Speaker 1: happened to he and the other crew members of Elfausto.
- 15:31Speaker 1: He had to have known that whoever was going to
- 15:33Speaker 1: find his dead body, and this notebook was going to
- 15:35Speaker 1: have an awful lot of questions unless he did know
- 15:38Speaker 1: that and did write a description. Except it was in
- 15:42Speaker 1: those twenty eight pages in the middle of the notebook
- 15:45Speaker 1: that had been removed.
- 15:46Speaker 2: And if that's the case, then who removed them and why?
- 15:49Speaker 1: And where's the rest of the Alfausto crew And why
- 15:53Speaker 1: did they tell the Duquessa that nothing was wrong with
- 15:55Speaker 1: their ship? And why didn't they take the Toe into shore,
- 15:58Speaker 1: which would have guaranteed their state. There's just so many
- 16:01Speaker 1: questions that have never been answered in fifty years. The
- 16:03Speaker 1: most widely accepted theory is the crew of Elfalsto experienced
- 16:08Speaker 1: a series of small but compounding setbacks that, combined with panic,
- 16:13Speaker 1: led to really bad decision making and ultimately their death.
- 16:16Speaker 1: Others say there are just too many anomalies and oddities
- 16:20Speaker 1: about this case to just be a product of bad
- 16:23Speaker 1: decision making, that there has to be something else going on,
- 16:26Speaker 1: and so there are lots of alternative theories about what happened,
- 16:29Speaker 1: ranging from abduction to illegal trafficking gone wrong to perhaps
- 16:34Speaker 1: they saw something they shouldn't have, but sadly no one
- 16:38Speaker 1: will know for sure what happened to these guys until
- 16:40Speaker 1: there is a major break in the case. And at
- 16:43Speaker 1: this point people are just hoping those missing twenty eight
- 16:45Speaker 1: pages turn up and that those will be able to
- 16:48Speaker 1: explain what happened.
- 16:50Speaker 2: To Elfalsto and her crew. So that's going to do it. Guys.
