The poor family must have been tearing their hair out with worry. Lester Laoagan a young 36-year-old domiciled in Monaco disappeared off the face of the earth in mid-August.

Cap Ferrat
The name Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat immediately conjures up images of the absolute pinnacle of affluence — which it is. And it does share with Monaco the leadership among the priciest real estate on the planet. This is a little in contrast with its origins because for much of its history it was relatively poor, barren and neglected and its other name historically and ironically is related to hospice. How times change!
Destiny has had Cap Ferrat become a host to Royalty and celebrities. The peninsula is also part of the Pelagos Sanctuary for Mediterranean Marine Mammals, a protected area jointly managed by Monaco, France, and Italy and whales and dolphins swim protected there. A paradise for divers.
