Chula Vista, Calif.
An international manhunt for the brother of Bison Dele, a former NBA basketball player who disappeared in July, ended this week in a California hospital. Police identified a comatose man there as Miles Dabord, Dele’s older brother. Police had wanted to ask Dabord what happened to Dele, Dele’s girlfriend, and the French captain of his 55-foot catamaran, the Hakuna Matata. The trio was last seen with Dabord sailing in Tahiti. Dabord next surfaced Sept. 5 in Phoenix, where he identified himself by his brother’s given name, Brian Williams, and tried to buy $152,000 in gold coins. Dabord had long resented his brother’s fame and wealth, and investigators believe he murdered Dele and his two shipmates and dumped their bodies overboard. Doctors said Dabord tried to commit suicide with a drug overdose, and will probably never wake up. “My boys are gone,” said their mother, Patricia Phillips, “and neither of them can ever tell me what happened.”
