Jackie Hawks, 47, and her husband Tom Hawks were last seen on November 14, 2004, in Newport Beach, California. The retired couple lived on their yacht Well Deserved and were preparing to sell the boat so they could spend more time with their grandchildren in Arizona. A prospective buyer, named Skylar Deleon, took the couple and two accomplices on a sea trial as part of the sale.

Their bodies were never recovered. Skylar Deleon and his accomplices were later arrested and convicted; Deleon received a death sentence and the others lengthy prison terms.

What details about the sale process or the people involved might help explain how the couple chose this buyer, and does anyone have information about the sea trial that afternoon?
