Retired US couple Kathy Brandel and Ralph Hendry vanished while sailing off the Grenada coast, with their yacht found abandoned, blood-stained, and 80 miles off course. The Royal Grenada Police Force suspects foul play and links the couple's disappearance to the escape of three prisoners, who are believed to have killed the occupants of the yacht.
