A vanishing Act

On February 11th 1979, five men went fishing off the coast of Hawaii on a boat named the Sarah Joe. When the boat vanished in a sudden fierce storm, the reasonable conclusion was that she had sunk, taking her crew down with her. However, 10 years later and over 2000 miles away, a grave found on a small uninhabited island would change what everyone thought they knew about this case...
