You think he did something to his mom?

It's a very bold claim, right?

Because, again, boating accidents are not uncommon.

And when you're going that far from land, if something malfunctions or if something goes awry, you only have so much time to respond before you're basically screwed and you're kind of like shit out of luck, right?

And the truth was there was no reason to suspect foul play.

So at first, they thought that maybe Valerie had just figured that since Nathan was the one operating the boat, since it was his boat, that she was kind of saying it was his fault and blaming him.

But it turns out there was a lot more.

Because according to Valerie, back in 2013, when their dad and Nathan's grandfather had been brutally murdered in his own home, Nathan was the prime suspect.

Now, not only did she claim that he was the number one suspect, but she also claimed that apparently the estate had just been officially settled that week.

The same week of Linda and Nathan's fishing trip.

The same week that Linda went missing.

Which you might be asking, okay, well, why is that important?

What does that mean?

It could have just been a coincidence.

Well, Valerie felt like Nathan had likely killed his grandpa John for the inheritance money.

And with his mother Linda set to inherit quite a bit of money, tens of millions of dollars from her father as well, why not kill her to get that payout as well?

which obviously this was a lot to digest.

I mean, the poor Coast Guard just wanted to inform the families that their loved ones were missing, but instead they basically were hit with this whole complex drama of the family and money and murder and all of these things.

They hadn't expected all of this other stuff.

And we'll get more into Nathan's potential involvement later on because trust me, there is a lot more to it.
