In 1998, Tom and Eileen Lonergan were accidentally left behind during a scuba diving trip in the shark-infested waters of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef – a real-life disappearance that later inspired the film Open Water and fueled speculation of a staged vanishing.
Their bodies were never found, but personal diaries left behind revealed unsettling entries, including Eileen’s fear of being “caught in” her husband’s “death wish that could lead him to what he desires.”
