Rodden was last seen in Holiday, Florida on August 27, 2000. He and his girlfriend, nephew and three sons were scuba-diving at the Pasco Reef when Rodden failed to surface. He has never been heard from again and an extensive search of the water turned up no sign of him.

Although Rodden disappeared while diving, authorities don't believe he drowned. Foul play is suspected in his disappearance and it's classified as a homicide. Few details are available in Rodden's case.
