Warning: The following contains Spoilers for Unsolved Mysteries volume 3, episode 7, "Body in the Bay."The theory proposed by the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office that the death of Patrick Mullins was suicide profiled in the Unsolved Mysteries volume 3 episode "Body in the Bay" makes no sense.

Warning: The following contains Spoilers for Unsolved Mysteries volume 3, episode 7, "Body in the Bay."The "Body in the Bay" episode of Unsolved Mysteries volume 3 submits compelling evidence that Patrick Mullins was murdered. A native of Manatee County, Florida, Mullins was last seen piloting his boat at around 3 pm on Sunday, January 27, 2013. While his boat was found two days later with the engine still running near Egmont Key, over nine days would pass before Mullins' body would be recovered from the Manatee River, tied to a 25-pound anchor.

While the results of Mullins' autopsy declared the circumstances of his death to be “undetermined,” the Manatee County Sheriff's Office believes that Patrick Mullins died by suicide. This theory is strongly rejected by Mullins' wife and sons, who believe that the evidence of the case strongly suggests that Patrick Mullins was murdered.

James Christopher is directing the new Twitchy Dolphin Flix film 3 References. Check Slackerwood for his updates as the shooting continues.

There are so many reasons why this has been one of the best shoots we've had in our five-year history. Driving home after another 14+ hour day last night, it hit me. I think a big part of it is attributed to the new blood. We at Twitchy have always prided ourselves on building a troupe mentality and we are dedicated to growing with the same collaborators, but the influx of new energy and ideas cannot be understated.

What began as a last-minute change in the lead gave us Harper Graham and her performance has been beautiful and vulnerable. Just fantastic. Cassidy Schiltz, Lauren Hayes, Mike Williams, Sasha Aimee, Lacey Hernandez, Alicia Dufour, Andrea Dettling and a slew of others have melded nicely with the old Twitchy guard to really create some memorable performances.
