Navy Closes Case of Missing Sailor

His newlywed wife, reportedly a stripper, got $200,000 in government life insurance money and didn't even go to his funeral.

His own shipmates may have stolen some of his personal effects while he was lost at sea.

A four-year investigation into the death of a Navy Sailor from Sugar Land, who disappeared from the USS Princeton in September 2005 as it patrolled about 35 miles off the coast of Iran, offers tantalizing details, but frustratingly few clues about his mysterious demise.

"All logical investigative actions to attempt to determine the circumstances of (Robert "Bobby" Macrum's) death have been exhausted," notes a recently completed Naval Criminal Investigation Service report obtained by the Chronicle. "This investigation is closed."

Indeed, the only official conclusion that the Navy reaches regarding Macrum is that he is dead. Lost at sea.
