I've been going down the rabbit hole on Richard Cobler's case and something that's been bugging me is the timing of the lifeboat drill. How common is it for drills to be called so soon after departing from harbor? From what I gather, it seems like a strange time to conduct one, especially since you'd think they would want the crew settled in first. Could there have been a specific reason for it, or was it just standard procedure back then? It makes me wonder if the timing was purely coincidental or if there's a possibility it played a role in Richard not being accounted for. Thoughts?
I’ve been diving into the Richard Cobler case from 1979, and something that puzzles me is the timing of his disappearance. It seems odd that he vanished during a routine lifeboat drill. Usually, everyone’s on high alert during these drills, so it’s strange that no one noticed anything amiss. Could someone have distracted the crew at a critical moment, or is it simply a case of poor visibility or confusion due to the drill? It's as if he just vanished into thin air. Anyone familiar with maritime procedures have any insights on how something like this could happen without immediate detection?
Hey everyone, I'm diving into the mystery of Richard Cobler's disappearance from the *Wecoma*. Has anyone looked into the ship's manifest or crew list from that day? I can't help but wonder if there might have been someone on board who wasn't supposed to be there or if specific crew members noticed anything unusual that morning. I know it's a long shot, but with no clear indications or witnesses, any subtle clue could be crucial. Perhaps a fresh perspective or revisiting these documents could shed new light on what might have happened. Anyone else think this could be worth exploring?
