Investigators who conducted a search after Newton-John’s lover disappeared, have given hope that he is still alive, after he allegedly sent a letter to authorities asking them to leave him alone, reports Starpulse.com.
Patrick McDermott, who was presumed dead after he disappeared during a fishing trip in 2005, sent a fax to American private detectives asking them to let him live in peace in Mexico.
On the fax, it read, "Pat has asked that I portray to you his innocence. Pat has committed no crime. Pat simply wishes to be left alone. Let him live his life in peace and harmony. He is safe and has started anew again in a new place both physically and mentally. Stop this search immediately."
Olivia Newton-John was broken hearted when McDermott vanished off the coast of California, but she has since found love again with John Easterling, whom she married last summer.
