And more than that, somebody would definitely do those things, or at least one of them, if they wanted there to be any chance of survival.

So needless to say, it was all really suspicious.

But I don't want you to think that the Coast Guard immediately felt like something was up just because of this family drama that they were made privy to, because there were plenty of people who interacted with Nathan after he was rescued who didn't even know what his Aunt Valerie had said, and it raised questions about how truthful the whole story really was.

One of those people being the emergency room physician who treated Nathan after he was rescued and taken to Boston General Hospital.

because he claimed that Nathan's condition was overall kind of perfect, which was good for Nathan, but it also doesn't really add up with the idea that he was lost at sea and on this life raft for seven entire days.

The physician estimated that being in a life raft for that extended period of time, with significant amounts of ocean water inside of it, that Nathan would have had, quote, severe defects in his gross motor skills and would have been in dire need of medical attention.

but he didn't even have so much as chapped lips.

He wasn't dehydrated at all.

He was completely coherent.

And those were just the initial odd findings in this case.

I mean, there would be plenty more as the investigation grew, and it was growing by the minute.

Meanwhile, Nathan wasn't really helping out with this case.

Pretty soon after the whole incident happened, he filed an insurance claim for his boat, totaling to $85,000.

And at the same time, Valerie and his other aunts

were filing petitions with the court to block him from receiving any inheritance from not only his grandpa John, but also his mom Linda.

They were more than confident than ever that he had killed both of them, all with the goal of just cashing in on a huge check.

So let's rewind for a minute and go over John's murder, because I've brought it up a little bit, I've mentioned it here and there, but the whole thing is pretty suspicious.

John was found on December 20th, 2013.

His oldest daughter, Elaine, had stopped by his house, which wasn't uncommon.

She was a nurse, and she liked to check in on him pretty often to make sure that he was okay and good health and taking his heart medications.
