Our Speaker Today:
Carol Cope, Author
Murder on the High Seas, The True Story of the Joe Cool's Final Tragic Voyage
Carol Cope is a 1980 graduate of the University of Miami School of Law and a practicing attorney in addition to being a published non-fiction author.
The case resulted in one plea, two federal criminal jury trials, another federal civil suit, and a nearly three-year struggle in Miami Family Court over custody of two tiny children orphaned by the disappearance of their parents at sea. During her research for this book, Cope attended the trials and interviewed investigators, friends and family members, and prosecutors, culminating in a chilling, face-to-face interview with a murderer in a federal maximum security prison at USP Pollock, Alexandria, Louisiana. We were honored to have Judge Paul Huck, the judge for this case, with us today as well as to have the wonderful presentation by the author.
This book explores the investigation into the Joe Cool, a mysterious “ghost boat” which simply disappeared on a sunny Saturday in September 2007 on what should have been a quick, one-way trip from Miami Beach to Bimini in the Bahamas to drop off two charter passengers. The young charter captain, his wife, his brother and a friend were never seen again. Thanks to an expert team of federal investigators and prosecutors, a bizarre tale of treachery and murder unfolded in a Miami federal courtroom.
