Santa Catalina Island, CA

Has the body of missing Newport Beach boater Frank Cipriano been found?

Authorities have recovered a body near Catalina Island in the same area where Cipriano had been reported missing a week ago Sunday, August 8.

A positive id of that body should be made official, maybe as early as today (Monday).

For the past couple of days, I have been receiving several notes and emails from friends and family members of Frank's telling me that a body had indeed been recovered and they "are dealing with this very sad news."

If you recall.... Frank and a few of his friends had been on a boat called "The Indecent Proposal" for a weekend of fishing and leisure. He went missing when he took a dingy into shore from the Cherry Cove area of Catalina Island.

Members of the US Coast Guard and local law enforcement agencies told a local newspaper that indeed a body had been located last Thursday in the "general area" where Cipriano had last been seen.
The Los Angeles coroner's office is handling the autopsy...the case has been turned over to the Orange County Sheriff's Department for further investigation.

As soon as an "official" notice to the media is released, I will get it on the blog...

In the meantime, can you please, keep Mr. Cipriano and his family and dedicated friends in your hearts and prayers during this day and rough week that lies ahead?

Update to follow...check back....

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
