The former Bulls champion died mysteriously in the Pacific Ocean, and all those involved have died and it is now an unsolved case.

There are always some mysterious figures in the history of the NBA. They are like passers-by in the league, but no one knows their final outcome. Bison Dele is one of them. This member of the Chicago Bulls championship team disappeared mysteriously after going to sea in July 2002, as if he had disappeared from the world. The claim of being the only survivor has raised doubts. The "Beason Dell Disappearance" has thus become a major unsolved case in the NBA.

On April 6, 1969, Dell was born in Fresno, California. He was the second child in his family. His original name was Brian Carson Williams. He was 2.08 meters tall. , weighing 118 kg, serves as an inside line. His father, Eugene Williams, nicknamed "Geno", was a member of the singing group "The Platters". Later, Dale's parents divorced, and after his mother remarried, she single-handedly raised her two sons.

Dell originally attended a local missionary high school in Santa Monica, California, where his jersey was later retired. During his senior year, he transferred to Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas. In his senior season, Dell averaged 17.3 points, 12.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 2.5 steals, and an astonishing 9.1 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 57.7%. In addition, he was also a track and field athlete at the school, but due to his rapid growth in height, he eventually turned to basketball.

Later, Dell studied at two famous basketball schools, the University of Maryland and the University of Arizona, and was selected to the All-Pac-10 best team in 1991, which paved the way for his career. Dell was selected by the Magic with the 10th overall pick in the first round of the 1991 NBA draft.

After two less successful seasons with the Magic, Dell joined the Nuggets, and then played for the Clippers in the 1995-96 season, where he averaged 15.8 points, 7.6 rebounds per game, and a shooting percentage 54.3%, gradually gaining some fame. But at this time, Dell was ignored for most of the 1996-97 season because the Lions were very open during contract renewal negotiations. It wasn't until early April 1997 that he signed a contract with the defending champion Bulls that ended at the end of the season, and was lucky enough to win the 1997 championship with the team.

In the 1997 offseason, Dell switched to the Pistons and had the best performance of his career in the 1997-98 season, averaging 16.2 points and 8.9 rebounds per game, while shooting 51.1% from the field. In 1998, he officially changed his name to Beeson-Dale.

However, his NBA career came to an abrupt end at this time. At the beginning of the 1999-00 season, Dell had just turned 30 and was in his prime. At the time, he was also the Pistons' highest-paid player. However, the relationship between him and the team's top management became increasingly tense. He had a premonition that he would be traded, so he chose to fight by retiring, and was willing to give up a five-year, $36.45 million contract for this reason. At the turn of the century, this was a big contract that fascinated countless NBA players, but it was easily abandoned by Dell.

Dell's retirement has caused heated discussions in the NBA. Many people have questioned his lack of enthusiasm for basketball. This is not groundless. Dell's off-court life can be described as colorful. He once dated pop queen Madonna and is proficient in instruments such as saxophone, violin and trumpet. He likes outdoor adventures and has obtained a police officer's certificate. All of this proves that Dell is energetic and versatile, but because of this, you can imagine how much energy he will devote to basketball.

In addition, some people question that Dell plays football just to make a lot of money, but this conflicts with his giving up a high salary of 36.45 million in five years. A more reasonable explanation is that Dell had a strange brain circuit. At that time, he thought that he had made enough money and was about to start enjoying life.

After retiring, Dale spent much of his time traveling in Lebanon, the Mediterranean and Australia. Then he became obsessed with sailing, bought a sailboat, and started sailing around the world. Unexpectedly, this became the end of his life.

On July 6, 2002, Dell went sailing with his girlfriend Serena Karlan and captain Bertrand Saldo. The group set off from Tassie hair.

Later, Dale's brother Miles Dabord (formerly known as Kevin Williams) also joined the voyage. But half a month later, on July 20, when the sailboat appeared again in Tahiti, Dabod was the only one left on board.

On September 5 of the same year, based on clues provided by Dell’s family and friends, the Phoenix police launched an investigation into Dabord because he forged Dell’s signature and wanted to purchase gold worth US$152,000. Dell's ID card was also used. Later, Mexican police found Dabod in a Tijuana hotel. Just two days ago, the police found several bullet holes caused by gunshots on the previous sailboat, and Dabod's suspicion increased sharply. At the same time, Dabord also called his mother, Patricia Phillips, and said he would never hurt Dell and never wanted to go to jail.

Subsequently, the FBI was dispatched to participate in the investigation of the case. They suspected that Dale, Callan and Sardo were murdered by Dabod and then dumped into the sea. Since the dumping site is likely to be in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the bodies of the three people may never be found.

Unfortunately, Dabord, who was the only insider in the case, died in a California hospital on September 27, 2002 due to an overdose of insulin. According to Dabod's deathbed revelation, he and his brother Dale had been at loggerheads since childhood. That day, the two brothers had another argument on the boat. They struggled and accidentally injured Karan. She hit her head hard on the boat and died. Upon seeing this, Sardo immediately wanted to call the police, but was killed by Dell, who was out of control at the time. Dabord then shot Dyer dead in self-defense, threw the three bodies into the sea, and returned by boat.

Although this was only Dabord's side of the story, because all the people involved in the case died, the police lost all clues and could only hold a memorial service for the two Dell brothers. The case has thus become an unsolved case.

Looking back now, there are many doubts about this case, among which the disappearance of the bodies of Dale, Callan and the captain is the most bizarre. From this point of view, the murderer must have gone through precise planning and careful processing before dumping the body, and it was not like impulsive killing. Dabod claimed that he shot his younger brother Dale in self-defense, but it is also said that he had a conflict with Callan and accidentally injured Callan, killing him, and then killed the captain and his brother who wanted to call the police.

There are countless secrets buried in the vast Pacific Ocean. Perhaps only the person involved knows what exactly happened that day, who caused Karan's accidental death, and at whose hands Dale and the captain died. (Sit-ups/Maomao)
