It’s been three years since Sarm Heslop was reported missing in the middle of the night by her American boyfriend, Ryan Bane, in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Despite last being seen on Bane’s catamaran, local officials were denied access to the yacht and never officially questioned Bane about Heslop’s disappearance. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber speaks with maritime attorney Michael Winkleman about how a case can be impacted by its location, as well as the UK private investigator helping Heslop’s family, David Johnston.

😢🕯 Sarm sincerest sympathies… the worst injustice … Sarm lives in our prayers, our hearts forever ❤️
Search warrant ? Horror, literally criminal, how they never issued a search warrant. BEWARE OF RYAN BANE WOMEN WORLDWIDE.
Thank you for covering this, Sarm was one of my friend's best friends and they are all devastated at the lack of action by authorities
He thinks he’s gotten away with murder. However, “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it eventually bend towards justice.” JUSTICE FOR SARM!!!
Unfortunately someone else will probably have to die or come damn near close to dying before this highly suspicious individual is entrapped because of his pattern of domestic violence that has already been corroborated by his former spouse!!! But………he will strike again!!!
I live in the US Virgin Islands. I heard about this on the local news. I don't think VIPD have experience in cases at sea. The Coast Guard probably should've done more 🤷🏾♀️
He moved from USVI to mainland, other local in between. Sounds like a job for the FBI.
Always women looking for luxury and money etc… Always ending up miserable
The fully enclosed living space inside a vessel requires a warrant just like a home would require one.
There are consequences for gold digging!
Anyone with a "yacht" is making up for something!
Always said going on the ocean you’re exposing yourself to violent crime where it’s easiest to get away with it because the law with authority to investigate is where the vessel is flagged or ports (which often times is an island with 2 police who will do nothing more than collect your belongings for your family).
Finally. Something else important and not a 150th thing on puff daddy
This appears to be the perfect crime. There will definitely be copy cats
Pirates
The old international waters shark trick.
Less than 5 mins in, and it sounds like she was in the freezer and all officers were right there, just no search warrant. Sad story.
TO THOSE FEDERAL NEWSCASTERS [“LAW&CRIME NETWORK”], WHAT “AN ENGLISH LADY’S LOSS [‘SARM HESLOP, USVI’]” AND Y’ALL, “LATEST REPORT VIEWERS, ‘MAY YOUR GRAND CREATOR HELP’ ALL!” 😿😿
nobody tells yt girls this but fortunately i was gifted with a lot of intuition. but dont go out on a boat with somebody you just met.
I see this too often, couples going to the caribbean on vacation. Rent a boat go out on the boat together and just one person coming back alive. Seems like most of the time these are planned. How to get away with murder 101
Just wild and irresponsible speculation.
What a crock of cow dung! If someone is missing while at sea, it should be assumed that it could be foul play! Otherwise, if it is foul play, and they never searched the boat, the perp will literally get away with murder! RIDICULOUS!
Crazy man, he did something. The police messed-up on this case.
Perhaps they don't care because she is British.? What rights do they have to keep her phone?
This man is innocent!
This sounds similar to the movie Double Jeopardy, where he’s gone when she wakes up on the boat.
Wow He has a domestic abuse report AND refused to let the police check out the boat! He’s GUILTY af
I haven't heard of this case. Thank you for bringing light it. I hope he is held accountable.
The first answer is simple and clear why not to search the boat !
The disgrace Boyfriend killer, to protect himself from getting caught with evidence inside the boat, STOP the SEARCH !
A normal innocent person, since the missing person was on HIS BOAT UNDER HIS PROTECTION…….SHOULD IMMEDIATELLY WELCOME ANY SEARCH TO HELP TO FIND THE MISSING LADY !………..For me 1000 % HE IS GUILTY of MURDER !!! Also, LISTEN TO HIS FORMER WIFE!
How frustrating and what a shame when obviously he is involved. No person is going to vanish like that. So think about it. This is the way to get rid of someone and possible get away with it. Laws are Laws but commonsense is commonsense.Two go out in a boat and one come Back🤔
Ask p diddy 😂
Really ?? What a joke the police should be ashamed of themselves and the poor work !!!! He even sold the boat and they are still not convinced enough to arrest him? What a shame
He's rich. That's why it's different
