Lonnie Kocontes

Published: March 8, 2021, 8 a.m.

#062 - In May 2006, 52-year old American Micki Kanesaki was reported missing while on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean Sea just off Italy's coast. Lonnie Kocontes, her ex-husband, sweet-talked her into a romantic getaway, to fix their broken relationship.

Micki trusted Lonnie, and after a romantic wine-filled evening. Micki just disappeared.

Two days later, a vessel performing oceanography research made a shocking discovery, a body—a lonely body floating in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. The life-less and broken-hearted body of Micki was miraculously found.

The investigation quickly focused on Micki's ex-husband, Lonnie. But with zero evidence found anywhere on the cruise ship, the only hope remained with forensics. Could forensic science find anything on Micki's body explaining her tragic and permanent romantic getaway?
