[Florida Files] Murder on the High Seas: The Joe Cool Murders

Subscribe on youtube! In September 2007, four friends set out on a chartered fishing trip off the coast of Miami aboard the yacht Joe Cool. Captain Jake Branam, his wife Kelley, and crew members Scott Gamble and Samuel Kairy were excited for what should have been a routine day on the water.But they never came home. What the crew didn't know was that three men—Kirby Archer, Guillermo Zarabozo, and Carlos—had hatched a desperate plan to steal a boat and flee to Cuba. They boarded the Joe Cool under the guise of a fishing charter, but their real intention was far more sinister. When the Coast Guard found Kirby and Guillermo adrift in a life raft days later, they spun a wild story about being attacked by armed men. But investigators quickly unraveled their lies. The four crew members had been murdered and thrown overboard. Their bodies were never recovered. This is the story of the Joe Cool murders—a case of greed, desperation, and cold-blooded murder on the high seas. We're revisiting this Florida Files case with updated details and a deeper look at what happened that tragic day. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!
