Cameron Robbins was last spotted in the Bahamas after leaping from a boat and disappearing below the waves.
A shark specialist has weighed in with his perspective on what could’ve occurred in those final moments.
The 18-year-old athlete, known for playing baseball, went missing after being seen aboard Blackbeard’s Revenge, a ship.
Then he disappeared beneath the waves without a trace, fueling speculation about a possible shark encounter.
A shark expert has since weighed in on Robbins’ mysterious disappearance.
Kevin McMurray, who runs the shark-tracking site trackingsharks.com, dedicates his life to documenting global shark incidents.

After graduation celebrations, Robbins disappeared during a Bahamas trip with friends.
McMurray analyzed footage of his last known moments, suggesting a shark encounter.
“In the initial frames, you can clearly see a dark shape moving through the water – likely a shark,” he revealed to The Mirror.

“He’s in the water, and if you look to the left, you can see it.”
“My take—what I believe happened—is that he entered the water and was swimming around. Then the shark, or whatever the creature might be—I’m not saying with certainty it was a shark, but it definitely resembles one—comes to the surface. There’s a life ring off to his right.”
“He sees something emerge from the water, and instead of heading toward the life ring, he turns back at that moment.”

“I believe all that splashing is just him desperately trying to escape from something,” he said.
The teen from Louisiana disappeared after reportedly jumping into the ocean on a dare during a sunset cruise with a pirate theme, sparking endless theories since that night.
“There’s always a chance [of a shark attack],” McMurray noted.
“My best guess? If there was an attack, it was probably just a single bite. But realistically – and I can’t say for certain – exposure would’ve been the real killer.”
“Either he sank straight down or became shark food. Both scenarios are plausible.”
He elaborated: “That area’s crawling with tiger sharks – nature’s perfect cleanup crew.”
“Remember those Jaws scenes with license plates in their bellies? They’re not picky eaters.”
“Post-mortem consumption is absolutely within the realm of possibility.”
While admitting there’s a slim chance remains could surface, he called it unlikely.
“Finding anything would be like locating a needle in a moving ocean,” he explained.
“We’re talking thousands of square miles with shifting currents and depths.”
