Has anyone else been wondering about the timeline in Robert Charlton Miller's case? It's always seemed a bit strange to me, how quickly everything happened. He rented the boat at 9:45 a.m., and by 11:00 a.m., it was already found adrift. That's not even an hour and a half on the water. What could have happened so quickly? Experienced fishermen usually know their safety protocols, right? Plus, with the motor off and keys still in the ignition – I can't help but wonder if he had time to turn it off himself or if something unexpected happened. I know there weren't any signs of foul play, but it's always bothered me. Anyone familiar with that area who could shed some light on how quickly conditions can change out at sea? It's just puzzling that such a thorough search never uncovered anything at all.
Has anyone else noticed the strange detail about Robert Charlton Miller's disappearance? I'm talking about the life vest being left on the boat. It's always struck me as odd because, typically, wouldn't someone wear a vest if they're fishing alone on the ocean? Especially with the rental company likely stressing safety. I'm not implying anything sinister here, but could it have been an oversight, or might it suggest he either wasn't expecting trouble or had an exceptional swimming capability? I’m curious if anyone has thoughts or similar cases where the life vest detail played a key role. It's just one of those details that keeps bugging me.
I was reading through Robert Charlton Miller's case again and can't stop thinking about the timing when the boat was spotted adrift. If it was found just a little over an hour after he set off, it makes me wonder how quickly something could have happened to him. Was there somebody else out there who saw something? Maybe a freak accident with the boat itself? It's just puzzling to imagine that he was there one minute gearing up to fish and then gone the next without a trace. Also, considering February weather conditions—could that have played a part? I've read that ocean currents around San Diego can be tricky. Kind of a long shot, but does anyone know if they rechecked the area's currents at the time of the disappearance? Always hoping for new insights or leads in this case—never know what small piece might trigger something useful.
