SAVANNAH, Ga. – On the night of March 3, 2008, John and Elizabeth Calvert vanished in other-worldly fashion from Hilton Head Island, never to be seen again.
If there had been a soundtrack to the moment of their disappearance, it might have been the soft sound of an air lock closing, followed immediately by the cold silence of empty space once occupied.
They were here, and then they weren’t. It was if someone had airbrushed them off the landscape of their lives.
And they were, by all accounts, good lives.
John, 47 at the time of his disappearance, and Elizabeth, then 45, split time between their Atlanta home and Harbour Town, S.C., where they lived on their 40-foot Hatteras yacht, the “Yellow Jacket.”
