How can three men on a 40-foot yacht vanish into thin air, leaving behind a perfectly good boat with the engine idling and a half-eaten lunch on the table? This was the baffling scene that greeted maritime authorities who discovered the Kaz II, a "ghost yacht" found drifting off the Australian coast. There was no sign of a struggle, no bad weather. Just an empty boat.

Welcome to "Missing at Sea." In this episode, we become detectives and oceanographers to investigate a modern maritime mystery. We'll reconstruct the last known hours of the Kaz II using official coroner's reports and digital evidence. You'll learn the chilling science of ocean currents, the brutal math of survival odds in the open water, and how a simple, cascading series of errors could be more terrifying than any conspiracy. What did the ocean do with the crew?
