Episode 340 - The Sea Orphan

Found drifting on the open ocean, and on the brink of death; Terry Jo Duperrault’s survival was nothing short of a miracle.

The survivor of an apparent yacht accident had been at sea for almost 4 days, enduring harsh heat, bitter cold, and the tormenting bites of the parrot fish.

Yet when the other survivor, the boat’s captain, was told the incredible news, he checked into a motel using a fake name, and took his own life.

This is the gut-wrenching story of the murders on the sinking Bluebell, and one little girl, who survived it all.
