Adagio Talifero was profiled as this past weekend's missing child alert on A&E's "Live PD". Adagio was supposed to go on a sailing trip with his father, Gerald "Storm" Talifero this past June from Goleta Beach in California en route to Hawaii. However, he has not been seen since and it is not known if ever got on that boat.
Adagio's mother and Gerald's ex-wife was interviewed on Live PD. She says Gerald was a serial entrepreneur with several projects. She theorizes it is possible perhaps a potential investor unhappy with having to wait on a project or feeling they were owed money by Gerald could be a potential angle to the disappearances.
Adagio was described by his mother on the show as being very friendly and making everyone he meets his best friend. Both him and father lived a vegan lifestyle and did not eat cooked products.

Thoughts? While I understand Gerald was an entrepreneur, in my opinion this might just be a tragic accident. I do hope for the sake of Adagio's mother and loved ones, they can receive some type of closure one way or the other.
