...and there, if not for fate, would lie the end of the story. A 92-year-old former Nazi sailor may be the last living link to solving the mystery. Reinhold Von Malapert, the seaman who navigated the lifeboat safely to shore near Red Bluff, has been located living in Santiago, Chile.

Freiherr Reinhold von Malapert genannt von Neufville died today (2007-04-22) in Santiago de Chile. He was not a Nazi, only a German Navy officer.
