After years of adventure on their dream yacht, a retired couple decides to sell it and move closer to their grandchildren. The buyers—a charming young couple with a toddler—seem perfect. They don’t haggle on price; their only request is to take a trip on the yacht together so the sellers can show them the ropes. But after that outing, the retired couple vanishes without a trace.

Former Orange County DA Matt is called in to uncover the truth, and what he finds is both shocking and devastating. This twisted case is filled with loose ends, and it’s up to Matt to untangle the mystery before it’s too late.

Matt Murphy is a legal analyst for ABC News and an attorney in private practice in Southern California. He was a Senior Deputy District Attorney in Orange County California. Matt Murphy spent 21 years assigned to the sexual assault and homicide units where he prosecuted some of the most notorious murder cases in the state of California. He completed 132 jury trials in his career as a prosecutor, including 52 while he was assigned to the homicide unit. He worked as an adjunct professor of law for 7 years. In addition to his work for ABC news, Mr. Murphy is in
private practice representing victims of sexual abuse and some select criminal defense cases.

He has also been regularly appearing on NewsNation with Elizabeth Vargas, Chris Cuomo and Ashleigh Banfield providing analysis on Criminal cases in the news.
