In November 1961, a Wisconsin family chartered a boat for a trip from Fort Lauderdale, FL, to the Bahamas. Arthur and Jean Duperrault trusted the ship's captain, Julian Harvey, would safely guide them while they enjoyed downtown with their three children, 14-year-old Brian, 11-year-old Terry Jo, and 7-year-old René.

But the voyage took a horrific turn. Harvey murdered everyone on the boat - except for little Terry Jo Duperrault. The captain, who had already planned to murder his own wife to collect insurance money, scuttled the boat and escaped on a dinghy with the body of the youngest daughter, René Duperrault. Terry Jo was left alone on a sinking ship.

Terry Jo was orphaned at sea, but she showed tenacity in the face of tragedy. The resourceful girl launched herself off the sinking ship on a cork raft. She was rescued four days later. The true story of Terry Jo Duperrault and the Bluebelle murders is a jaw-dropping tale of greed, violence, and survival.
