Hello, I'm a newspaper reporter trying to research whatever became of a diver named Rick Vaughan who was a big part of Mel Fisher's Atocha haul.
Rick Vaughan is detailed in this (fascinating by the way) newspaper article from 1992 about searching for treasure in Charlotte Harbor, Florida, then basically disappears from the internet after that.
Anyone have any ideas on how to find him, or any info on what happened to him?
Here's the article about Vaughan from 1992 called Treasure Fever: Obsessed With the Ghost of a Notorious Pirate: Treasure Fever - tribunedigital-orlandosentinel
 

Hey great read... Somehow that old article has eluded me... glad you posted.

I probably met him when I was younger... names elude me as well.

Also its nice... Its been awhile since I've seen someone else "who believes".
 

Hi, I worked with Rick when he was in Port Charlotte Florida. I would like to get in touch with him as well. Does anyone know how to contact him?
I am Neal VanDeRee in Venice Fl.
