Wealthy couple John and Elizabeth Calvert vanished on Monday, leaving behind their yacht, Mercedes, private plane and pet cat.

They seem to have simply vanished, shutting off their cell phones, missing important business meetings and abandoning their 2006 Mercedes-Benz and a private plane.

The disappearance of prominent couple John and Elizabeth Calvert has baffled investigators in Hilton Head Island, S.C., and gripped the upscale resort town.


Update: The police had a "person of interest", the last person to see them alive, but he just committed suicide.

Not a good sign. Expect the bodies to turn up fairly soon.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. - The man named as a person of interest in the disappearance of a Hilton Head Island couple appears to have committed suicide, authorities said Tuesday.

The body of Dennis Ray Gerwing was found by his lawyer around 4 p.m. in the bathroom of a resort condominium unit his company manages, according to a news release from the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office.

Gerwing left behind two notes that are being examined by state agents, said deputies, who refused to release the contents of the notes.

An autopsy has been schedule for Wednesday. Authorities called the death an apparent suicide, but would not disclose any other details.

Gerwing, 54, was named a person of interest earlier Tuesday and was not cooperating with officers investigating the disappearance last week of John and Elizabeth Calvert, deputies said.

Not looking good at all. I wonder what is in the two notes? Lots of stuff not being released (that I read). Why was he a person of interest for one.
