A 17-year-old told the authorities a harrowing story: His father, a tourist from Scotland, had vanished into the waves in a spot so dangerous it's been called 'Mortuary Beach.' Then, his story started to fall apart.
Waves break at Monastery Beach, with the Chapel of the Carmelite Monastery in the background, in Carmel in this 2013 file photo. A Scotsman was reported missing from the treacherous beach last week, but officials now think the man faked his own death.
A week ago, divers repeatedly scoped the picturesque Monastery Beach looking for Kim Gordon, a Scottish tourist, after his 17-year-old son told a harrowing story of his father vanishing into the waves of the Pacific Ocean the night of Feb. 25. The teen said his father went into the ocean about 7:15 p.m. at the beach, which is known for treacherously strong currents.
His son’s story began to fray within hours of his report, authorities said. Sheriff’s Capt. John Thornburg said most people desperate to find their loved ones can provide detailed accounts, but not this boy. Authorities then began to suspect the man’s disappearance was potentially a hoax in order to escape the charges against him in Scotland.
