Olivia finally speaks out WHAT I KNOW ABOUT MY MISSING EX

It’s been 16 years since Olivia Newton-John’s boyfriend Patrick McDermott vanished under baffling circumstances from a fishing charter.

His body has never been recovered and there have been several alleged sightings of him with a new girlfriend over the years in Mexico. For Olivia, Patrick’s murky disappearance has become yet another tragic layer in her troubled life.

“The whys and what-ifs of Patrick’s disappearance have troubled Olivia for years,” says a source. “She’s never really had closure – or lost hope.”

Now, Woman’s Day can reveal that a semblance of peace isn’t far away for the 72-year-old singer, with her close friend, Patrick’s ex-wife Yvette Nipar, writing a memoir detailing the fallout of the 2005 incident.

Titled What Are The Chances, a play on the name of Yvette and Patrick’s now 28-year-old son Chance, Yvette says, “[This is a] memoir that’s been screaming to ‘get out of me’ for many years now, so I decided to put it all out there. I’m not alone, and that’s what keeps me going.”
