(Newser) – In 2015, an American marine biologist went missing from a ship hundreds of miles off the coast of Ecuador. No sign of Keith Davis, then 41, has been seen since, and he is presumed dead, writes Rachel Monroe at the BBC. Monroe dug into the case for the Lost at Sea podcast given the unusual circumstances involved. Davis was aboard the Victoria 168, part of a Taiwanese tuna fleet. But he was no ordinary worker—he was what's known as a fisheries observer. These observers set out to sea in fishing vessels and work and live among the crew, but part of their job is to report any illegal activity they spot on the boat.
