In January 2009 private investigators for the show Dateline NBC began reporting that they believe Newton-John's former boyfriend, Patrick McDermott, faked his death in 2005. McDermott disappeared in June 2005 after boarding a fishing charter boat in California. Investigators believe McDermott may have faked his death to avoid paying debts and to enable his son to cash a $151,000 insurance policy. Newton-John and McDermott dated for eight years before his disappearance.Daily Mail: Olivia Newton-John's partner... (January 28, 2009)
