Captain Lee teases new true crime series Deadly Waters
sea lover, Captain Lee Rossbachbrings reality fans and true crime enthusiasts together in his new series, Deadly Waters with Captain Lee. All cases occur in a body of water. It looks like it’s going to be interesting, especially with Captain Lee on board.
Captain Lee is known to reality TV fans having been at the helm of the Below Deck franchise until Season 10. Health problems forced him to miss filming some parts of this season. However, for Season 11, Captain Lee was not issued a boarding pass.
Captain Kerry Tethridge of Below Deck Adventure got the gig. Captain Lee was shocked that he was being let go. “It came straight out of left field. I didn’t see that coming at all,” he said. So, it’s great to see him now taking on a brand new project, this time on Oxygen.
Captain Lee explores the dark side of human nature
So, is Captain Lee’s new show similar to Below Deck at all? “I mean there are cameras and water. That’s where all the similarities end,” Captain Lee told US Weekly. “You’re talking about the bodies that turned up and the impact it had on the relatives and the mothers and fathers and sisters and people left behind.” Yikes!
Captain Lee will help shed light on the clues that ultimately led authorities to the guilty party. “Sometimes it’s inexperience, where it’s a red flag that an inexperienced captain or an inexperienced operator didn’t pick up on, and they ended up paying dearly for it. And then just the culprits themselves, their lack of Navy [knowledge] “Wind, current and tidal waves,” Captain Lee explained. “The list goes on forever and that often leads to pushback, which is a good thing for law enforcement.”
But the human toll of these crimes is not lost on the good captain. “There’s something when you’re dealing with things that have already happened, people’s lives have already been lost and other people’s lives have been affected,” he said. “There’s something about that that adds a new twist to it and makes it more real.”
Why do people commit these crimes?
Captain Lee noted that the Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Police “have a thankless job, and it often becomes quite harrowing.” He also wondered why someone would commit murder. Listen to Law & Order music.
“What makes them go from being just an ordinary individual to someone who can kill in cold blood no matter how many people they never think about again?” Captain Lee asked. He added: “My main concern is that they will be arrested, and that they deserve what they get.”
Deadly Waters with Captain Lee premieres on Oxygen on Saturday, June 1 at 9pm ET, and episodes will be available to stream on Peacock the following day.
