by Ernice Gilbert (VI Consortium) The U.S. Virgin Islands will be in the spotlight tonight during NBC’s latest Dateline program, as the respected investigative series takes on a case that has gone cold in the territory: the disappearance of Sarm Heslop, the British woman last seen off the coast of St. Thomas by Ryan Bane — the man she sailed to the USVI with on a catamaran named “Siren Song” — approximately one year ago.
“A mystery in paradise unfolds when Sarm Heslop, a British woman, vanishes from her boyfriend’s luxury yacht in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Friday’s all-new Dateline NBC investigates the disappearance that made international headlines and left investigators with more questions than answers,” reads a description of the Dateline program set to air tonight.
Being reported by Dateline’s Andrea Canning, tonight’s broadcasting will feature an exclusive interview with Bane’s ex-wife, along with interviews with U.S. Coast Guard Lieutenant Commander Jan League, former V.I. Police Commissioner Trevor Velinor, and others.
