I recently came across a strange detail in the case of John "Judd" Van Vliet Miller that got me thinking. It's about the overturned skiff they found near Belfast. If it was overturned, does that suggest Miller and Pearcy tried to use it to reach shore? Maybe they realized the lobster boat was in trouble and thought they had a better chance in the skiff? But if both were in the skiff, how could it have flipped? The water was calm, so it makes me wonder if something unexpected happened. Did they encounter a rogue wave, or could there have been a mechanical issue with the skiff? It's curious that the skiff wasn't mentioned as having any damage. Anyone else have thoughts or similar ideas?
Has anyone else been looking into the mystery of John "Judd" Van Vliet Miller and Michael Pearcy? I've been obsessed with this case, and one detail keeps nagging me—the overturned skiff. What if they actually planned to head somewhere with it and something happened on the way? The skiff being found all the way near Belfast almost sounds like someone was trying to get away from the boat deliberately. I've read about cases where people have tried to escape a traumatic situation at sea, only for things to go terribly wrong. Maybe it wasn’t an accident like the authorities suggested. I'm curious to see what you all think about this angle. Could they have been trying to escape from something on the lobster boat, or does this seem too far-fetched?
Has anyone else looked into the sightings reported over the years of John "Judd" Van Vliet Miller? It's so intriguing that they never led to anything concrete. I came across one account from a few years after the disappearance that seemed pretty credible at first but ended up being a dead end. It's frustrating because it feels like there could be a piece of the puzzle out there that we're all missing. Does anyone have more details about these sightings or theories about what might have happened if Miller somehow survived? It's such a mystery how he could simply vanish without a trace.
