Olivia Newton-John's lost ex-beau found after 11 years

According to some recent reports, Olivia Newton-John's former boyfriend, who disappeared 11 years ago during a fishing trip, has been found alive and secretly living with his new lover.

The reports by a leading magazine claim that Patrick McDermott, who dated the Australian star for nine years, is living in Mexico, having settled down with a European girlfriend, says News.com.au.

"It's rumoured he was with a German national. I spoke to people there. The girl he was travelling with was described as having a German accent," told investigator John Nazarian.

Though speculative theories at the time ranged from self-harm to accidental death, Mr Nazarian described them as "preposterous."

McDermott was 48 then, when he went missing from the fishing boat 'Freedom,' which had set off from San Pedro Marina for a fishing trip on June 30, 2005.

Officials revealed that McDermott disappeared shortly after filing for bankruptcy, having unpaid debts totaling more than 30,000 dollars at the time, including 8000 dollars in child support owed to his former wife Yvette Nipar for their son, Chance.
