CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Patrick McDermott, 48, of San Pedro, California, joined 22 others for an overnight sea fishing trip one night. He never recovered. His wallet and backpack were discovered onboard, and his car was abandoned at the marina. McDermott had enough trouble to explain his disappearance. Chance is the bankrupt and he had no assets other than a clapped-out Toyota. Men like McDermott are hardly unusual - in fact, the US government has a word for them: deadbeat dads.
