I got the movie Disappearance and this is very loosely based on it. A bit gruesome :)
Disappearance
© 2022 Cindy Prince
A missing writer
Off a big sail boat
A shark eaten man
Usually doesn't float
There's only the bones
Left on the ocean floor
It's hard to know
What we're looking for
Chorus
Disappearance
When there's interference
There's no assurance
The body will be found
Disappearance
With so much deterrence
And such abhorrence
All around
Bridge
There's nothing left to decay
All his flesh has been eaten away
There's vague clues
Nothing solid to go on
Some cheats and lies
To follow up on
If it was murder
Someone has to pay
An intense investigation
Is underway
Repeat chorus

Gruesome indeed! The lyrics set up the story beautifully. With a plot like that, you just know that *everybody* is going to have a guilty secret that they don't want to be revealed.
I read "A shark eaten man / Usually doesn't float" and I couldn't help but imagine ZZ Top singing "'cos every girl lookin' for a shark eaten man" and now I can't get it out of my brain...

Some great visuals Cindy. I like the scary part about this being a shark attack. The chorus in particular is strong.
