She Survived 11 Days - But the Raft Told a Different Story
-
Letto da:

Cold, precise routine met an impossible gap: a marine biologist with a graduate degree, a dry spiral-bound notebook found inside an otherwise weathered life raft, and eleven days during which search teams looked the wrong way. How did a woman who logged every detail and carried a personal locator beacon end up drifting mostly visible and mostly within reach while rescue systems failed to connect the dots?
In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from departure to discovery: who Megan Dixon was, what equipment she carried, how Vera struck a submerged shipping container, and what the rescue teams found on Pelican Cay and the western beach forty minutes apart. Why did the life raft’s notebook stay bone dry and what does that silence in the evidence really mean?
Person: Megan Dixon
Age: 29
Vessel: 31-foot sloop named Vera
Departure: June 1, 2019 at 06:47
Discovery: June 9, 2019 at 06:15 by Tom Reyes on Pelican Cay
- Megan Dixon held a graduate degree in marine biology from the University of Florida and worked on seagrass recovery near Naples for four years.
- She filed a float plan with harbormaster Pete Vance on the morning of June 1, 2019 listing destination Cayo Redondo and departed at 06:47.
- Vera struck a submerged shipping container northeast of Cayo Redondo on the evening of June 2, 2019, with roughly forty minutes elapsing before the sloop sank.
- The life raft was found on the western beach with canopy up, painter line coiled, and a college-ruled spiral-bound notebook tucked under the canopy frame that remained bone dry.
- Tom Reyes found Megan conscious on the south beach of Pelican Cay at 06:15 on June 9, 2019, and a marine patrol officer later noted the notebook before noticing dried blood and the raft’s registration number.
