I wonder, if he hadn't had a vehicle, would anyone have known he went overboard?

The Cook Strait currents in particular are unlikely to wash any bodies up on shore. But I guess if you check on to a ferry then get reported missing, the police are gonna know you were there. So maybe it's not that easy to not be noticed.
