Episode notes
Horrific Murders Aboard The Justin B
- Five people aboard the 32-foot boat Justin B included owner Silas Boston, his two sons, and British couple Chris Farmer and Petta Frampton who bonded then were murdered at sea.
- Silas tortured, humiliated, then threw the bound victims overboard with heavy engine parts tied to them, witnessed by his sons.
Victim's Ethics Prevented Possible Self Defense Killing
- Chris, a doctor, treated his attacker Silas after the assault despite having means to kill him with medical supplies, underscoring his Hippocratic ethics.
- His mercy contrasted sharply with Silas's later claim that Chris 'could have' killed him but didn't.
Payment Demand Turned Into Torture And Murder
- After Silas beat and stabbed Chris, he demanded $500 and later stripped, humiliated, and tied Chris and Petta while taunting them near shore.
- He then deliberately loaded heavy engine parts to ensure the victims would drown when thrown overboard.
