Dele; his girlfriend,
Serena Karlan; and the captain of Dele's boat, Bertrand Saldo, have all been missing since July 7, 2002. Investigators found what they believe to be bloodstains on the boat named the Hakuna Matata, Swahili for "No Worries". Dele's older brother, Miles Dabord, told a friend that Karlan was killed accidentally when he and Dele were fighting. He claimed that Dele then killed Captain Saldo. Dabord said he shot Dele in self-defense and then threw the bodies overboard. Dabord was found unconscious on a Mexican beach, in a coma from an apparent overdose on insulin. He died September 27, 2002 at a San Diego hospital.
