Then again, here in Oz we lost a Prime Minister when he went swimming one

*chuckle* no kidding!
Seriously!  He was the serving Prime Minister. The Australian equivalent to the US President. He went swimming and disappeared, and no trace or clue was ever found. The theories that get around are amazing - most involve the CIA or the KGB. (He was very pro-US, and made big increases in our Vietnam involvement, but also dismantled the White Australia policy, beginning multiculturalism - so he had enemies in both camps).
Can you imagine the outcry if the serving US President suddenly disappeared without trace....
