Malcom Is Missing, the latest book by investigative journalist Robert Osborne, tells the story of a single mother of two from small-town Ontario who looks for her missing father and ends up taking on one of the most corrupt justice systems in the world.In October 2018, Canadian snowbird Malcom Madsen vanished while in Mexico, and his daughter Brooke Mullins embarked on a quest to find him. Armed with damning evidence that points to foul play, Brooke turned to Mexican authorities, searching for answers. Mexican police show little interest in the case, but Brooke persists, propelled by twin objectives: to recover her father's remains and to ensure justice for his perpetrators.
In his 37 years, Rob Stewart had seemingly spent more time underwater than above. The Toronto-born marine biologist fueled a literal sea-change with his 2006 documentary Sharkwater, about the endangerment of the seas’ top predator, and led an activist movement that saw more than 100 countries ban shark products.
And it was on January 31, 2017, while seeking revolutionary footage of sawfish sharks mating near the wreck of the Queen of Nassau off the Florida Keys, that Stewart drowned in a bizarre series of events.
As detailed in Robert Osborne’s The Third Dive, both Stewart and his diving instructor Peter Sotis made a risky third deep-dive of the day using “rebreather” apparatus, in murky waters that frustrated filming efforts. Both divers seemed okay when reaching the surface. Stewart, apparently lost consciousness also, as the boat was swinging around to meet him. He disappeared, and his body was discovered by a remote submersible search vessel three days later.
