I feel the same way exactly as you said it. He was overconfident and didn't perceive the danger. All the signs were there.

What was also sad, was that Graham’s wife, Eleanor ( Muff ), was having awful premonitions of this-their final boat excursion. She told a friend just prior to leaving that they wouldn’t return, and even when the friend inquired in regards to Muff staying home, Muff responded that she couldn’t do that, knowing that her husband was “gone” without her-that she would never forgive herself, should she remain behind at home. Besides she loved Mac, and would have been heartsick without him.

Seriously, all the signs were there that remaining alone on the island with the armed and desperate couple was a very bad idea. I think it was Malcolm’s ego more than his inflexibility that got in the way of his sense. He wasn’t about to be pushed around and back down and leave because of Buck. Malcolm should have considered his wife’s safety was more important than his ego. They should have just sailed away at the same time as the last set of visitors and called the Coast Guard to rescue Buck and Stephanie.

I first heard about this case from one of the first episodes of the TV show _The FBI Files_ made back in the 90's (you can find it on a couple of channels here on KZbin). It's excellent because they interview the FBI investigators from Hawaii (who explain the challenges of investigating a crime on a remote island) _and_ the friend of the Graham's that they were regularly checking in with via radio (also the person who raised the alarm). There's also an interview with the couple who were the last boat to leave Palmyra before the murders, and they didn't paint a pretty picture of Stephanie & Buck... I'm still surprised that the Graham's didn't just sail a good distance away, call the Coast Guard to pick the Gruesome Twosome up, and then sail back to enjoy Palmyra alone. Such a shame.

We left quickly, and years later, I still feel nervous thinking about it. The couple in this video seem like remarkable people, what a sad story.

Stephanie Stearns got off because Vincent Bugliosi was brilliant. Why he defended her is beyond me but the catch-phrase from his defense of her was "consciousness of innocence." According to the defense, she repeatedly made statements that unwittingly indicated she genuinely didn't know what Buck did. Critical thinking would have enlightened her but she didn't have any of that either; she was in love with Buck and completely relied on him. If there's a smidgen of an iota of a chance that she didn't know what he did at the time he did it, it is believable that she did not ask questions after the fact, and relied only on whatever lies Buck told her - because she did not want to know the truth. Wilful ignorance is not a new concept.

Yes, my Aunt was afraid of these people, and their dog, but my Uncle didn't want to seem afraid. So, yes. it was his choice to stay and got them murdered. This broke my Grandmothers heart. I'm told they found my Aunt's skull in the sand and made Malcom walk the plank.

I love the stories on this channel that are cautionary tales. I wouldn't have known about most of these cases without Dr. Grande highlighting them as topics. These stories are a a lesson for idealists, the overly optimistic, and those who venture off the beaten path unprepared. In my experience, if ideals or fantasies take you to a remote place, literally or figuratively, you will find a sociopath or two who thrive in either the open-heartedness of the sojourners or who need the remoteness to avoid detection.

I still have my paperback copy of the story of these murders, "And the Sea Will Tell," by Vincent Bugliosi, the attorney who prosecuted Charles Manson and also wrote a book about those murders, "Helter Skelter." "And The Sea Will Tell" was made into an outstanding 1991 TV movie with an all-star cast. Glad this crime made Dr. Grande's list.

I know most will disagree with me. But if she actively participate in the murders, they had the entire ocean to dispose of both bodies. It would have been impossible to take them to trial if that woman had not found the box.

J Marie Yes but Buck did take measures to ensure they would not be found. Placing them in the box and placing wire around the box. If she had nothing to do with it why did she tell so many lies and contradictions? She’s a murderer too!

They tortured Muff to death to get the money, not the $400 but the over $5000 they had stolen from the Grahams then buried her on the beach. That's why her body was found there. Read . The way better and more truthful book is Final Argument by Thomas Bucy.

I started reading a book about this case. Buck was clueless. He thought that he could grow weed on the island but didn’t have a reliable way of getting it from the island to wherever it was that he was supposed to sell it. He didn’t consider if there was a source of fresh water on the island. Unprepared slacker.

The idea that Malcolm and Eleanor sailed across the Pacific, were able to navigate to a tiny atoll, and then died in the lagoon when their dingy capsized is absurd. The lying, evasion, and the mountain of circumstantial evidence was more than enough to convict imo. Excellent analysis as always, Doc.

OMG! in the 1880s (i believe) an ancestor of mine was shipwrecked on this island en route from Australia to san francisco. the ship was called the henry james and the captain and first mate rowed vast distances to Samoa. The passengers were finally rescued after over 40 days on the atoll.
