One day in March 2017, Mitch McKay and his wife, Suzanne, took a walk on the sand near Imperial Beach, a small surf town south of San Diego where they’d raised their children. Suzanne liked to collect sea glass, and they often brought a spare grocery bag to pick up any trash they found amid the seaweed and driftwood. “It was our ritual,” Mitch said. Back home, Suzanne started to suffer from splitting headaches that seemed to emanate from the back of her neck, near the base of her skull. The headaches soon got bad enough that she went to...

Kayakers and snorkelers exploring the Southern California coast spotted an extremely rare oarfish, nicknamed a "doomsday fish" since they are seen in some parts of the world as harbingers of imminent disasters.

The fish can grow to more than 30 feet long, and have large eyes and "foreboding" red spines in a crown-like...

Barnacles, G.P.S. navigation, and the observance skills of a former police officer in Montana would help interstate authorities hone in on a sailor wanted for murder. It began off the shores of Catalina Island, about 22 miles west of Los Angeles in the Pacific Ocean, an idyllic setting that offers “a whole different world” for those wanting to get away, according to journalist Tricia Takasugi, formerly of Fox L.A. affiliate KTTV. Even the host of Deadly Waters with Captain Lee, Captain Lee Rosbach, agreed that while the resort town was a mariner’s and beachgoer’s paradise, “grisly secrets can wash up,” as stated on Deadly Waters.
