And based on Richard's expertise, there is literally no reasonable explanation as to how Nathan's raft could have ended up there.

Unless, of course,

He really wasn't out at sea for seven days, which that in and of itself was a pretty huge finding.

But the insurance company lawyer wanted to be sure that when they took the case to court, they were going to win.

They had already found enough to prove that Nathan's story was highly unlikely and also not trustworthy, but they wanted to prove more.

They wanted to prove that he had done something to his boat, which remember, his boat was still missing and would likely never be recovered.

The investigators on the case believed that it was highly likely that the boat had sunk and killed Linda.

The problem was there was just no boat, so no proof that Nathan had tampered with it or caused it to sink.

That is until the lawyers uncovered that there were witnesses who potentially held all the proof that Nathan had tampered with the boat.

The witness was a guy named Michael Lawsey, and Michael was a concrete cutter from Rhode Island who was at the same marina on September 17th, just hours before Nathan and Linda went on their fishing trip that would later turn deadly.

And this guy was someone who was at the marina often.

He had his regular buddies who would hang out there, so he was just chilling, having a normal Sunday with friends, drinking some beers, you know, the whole thing.

And as one does when they're in a public space, Michael was doing a bit of people watching.

And one of the people that he was watching was Nathan.

Nathan was at the marina and he was getting the boat ready for the trip, which, nothing too weird.

However, Nathan wasn't just packing their stuff ahead of time or making sure that they had all of their fishing gear ready to go.

He was apparently making some pretty heavy modifications to the boat, which is obviously not something that you want to do just hours before going on a fishing trip.

Seems like a huge safety hazard.

And when I say modifications, I don't mean that he was doing the typical maintenance or installing something new.

I'm not like nothing minor.
