Thomas Joseph Lonergan and Eileen Cassidy (née Hains) Lonergan, born 1964 and 1969, respectively, were a married couple from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States, who were mistakenly stranded in the Coral Sea on January 25, 1998. The Lonergans were scuba diving with a group at St. Crispin's reef in Australia's Great Barrier Reef. The boat that had transported the group to the dive site departed before the Lonergans returned from the water. None of the vessel's crew or passengers noticed that the two had not come back aboard. The Lonergans were never found and are presumed to have died at sea. At the time of the incident, the couple had recently completed a two-year tour of duty with the Peace Corps at Funafuti atoll in the small South Pacific island nation of Tuvalu and were repeating that work in Fiji.〔Fickling, David. ("Open Water: The True Story Behind the Disturbing Movie" ), Cyber Diver News Online — July 23, 2004〕 ==Aftermath== It was not until two days later, on January 27, 1998, that the pair was discovered to be missing after a bag containing their belongings was found on board the dive boat. A massive air and sea search took place over the following three days. Although some of their diving gear was found washed up later on a beach miles away from where they were lost, indicating that they drowned, their bodies were never found. Fishermen found a diver's slate (a device used for communicating underwater) and wrote down what it reportedly read: "()nday Jan 26; 1998 08am. To anyone () can help us: We have been abandoned on A()court Reef by MV Outer Edge 25 Jan 98 3pm. Please help us () to rescue us before we die. Help!!!"〔
