Episode Details

A Florida lobster diving spot turned deadly when 51-year-old Michael Simpson allegedly tried to kill an 18-year-old diver by cutting off his air supply underwater. Witnesses say Simpson shut down the surface-supplied air unit, prompting a frantic rescue by the boat owner. Though Simpson fled initially, he later surrendered. His lawyer denies the charges, claiming video proves Simpson was nowhere near the incident and that the teen tangled himself in equipment — arguing Simpson even moved his boat to calm things down and fully cooperated with police. Charges may soon be dropped as evidence and witness accounts come under scrutiny.
