In a haunting twist to an already mysterious case, a fresh revelation has emerged in the disappearance of two Florida attorneys who vanished during a routine fishing trip off the Gulf Coast. Randall “Randy” Spivey, 57, a well-known Fort Myers lawyer, and his 33-year-old nephew Brandon Billmaier, a trial attorney from Boca Raton, set out on December 19, 2025, aboard their 42-foot Freeman vessel named “Unstopp-A-Bull.” The pair, both experienced on the water, were expected back by sunset—but they never returned.

The U.S. Coast Guard located the boat adrift around 70 miles west of Fort Myers in the early hours of December 20. Shockingly, the engine was still running in gear, the anchor line deployed, and the vessel appeared undamaged and upright. Two life jackets were missing, but no sign of the men was found despite an intensive multi-day search covering thousands of square miles. The operation, involving air and sea assets, was ultimately suspended on December 22 as no trace turned up.

Now, a disturbing detail has surfaced: investigators discovered a scratch mark inside the boat’s cabin containing what appears to be blood. Family members of the victims have confirmed this finding, lending weight to growing speculation that foul play—or a violent struggle—may have been involved. The presence of blood in such a confined space raises immediate questions about how the men could have vanished without any other obvious signs of distress on the vessel.

Initial theories from authorities suggested a possible accident: one man falling overboard, the other attempting a rescue, only for the boat to continue motoring away unmanned. Yet the running engine, combined with the anchored position and missing life jackets, has puzzled experts and loved ones alike. The boat showed no collision damage, and fishing lines were reportedly still in the water, adding to the enigma.

The case quickly drew federal attention. The FBI joined the investigation shortly after the search ended, working alongside the Coast Guard and local agencies like the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. While no official statement has detailed the blood evidence publicly, the family’s acknowledgment signals a shift from presumed accident to something far more sinister. Relatives, including Billmaier’s wife Deborah, have expressed heartbreak and frustration, pleading for answers in what feels like a nightmare.

Spivey and Billmaier were not novices; both were seasoned boaters familiar with offshore conditions. The abrupt end to their trip—leaving the boat powered and adrift—defies simple explanations. The scratch and blood trace could point to a confrontation, an injury that escalated, or even an external threat in the remote Gulf waters.

As weeks pass into January 2026, the family clings to hope for closure. The blood-stained mark in the cabin stands as a grim reminder that the truth may lie hidden beneath the surface. Until more emerges, the disappearance remains one of the Gulf’s most perplexing unsolved mysteries, leaving friends, colleagues, and loved ones demanding: What violent secret does the “Unstopp-A-Bull” still hold?
