Hey there, folks. It is Thursday, August 6th, and it has been a mystery in Montauk for a year. The question, though, was it a murder mystery? Was a young entrepreneur, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, Was she murdered aboard a millionaire's yacht? Her family has now taken some legal action, and they certainly believe she was murdered. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. I cannot believe, Robes, it's been a year that Martha Nolan died on a yacht in Montauk, and we still don't have an official cause of her death.
That is absurd and to me just irresponsible. How is it that it is either not known or it has not been made public? I know it's not been made public. The question is how much does the medical examiner's office actually know? How much do they not know? We don't. don't know. And it's crazy to think, yes, August 5th, 2025, that is when she was found dead or reported dead. And we were in Montauk. So interestingly, we have been Very invested in this story because we were there in this small coastal town at the tip of Long Island when all of this happened, and it was all anyone was talking about.
And again, folks, you'll remember, and sure, it did play into it, Robes. I mean, the headlines, and you hear that, a young woman found dead, mysterious circumstances on a millionaire's yacht in... A rich and famous playground in New York. But it does factor. And let's be real here. Martha Nolan was a 33-year-old woman. She looked a certain way that helped with the tabloids and the headlines and the reasons. She was gorgeous. And a lot of reasons. Long blonde hair, blue eyed, the type of person and the type of woman, Rose, that often gets a lot of coverage. in this country when it comes to either being missing or murdered. That should just be said that did fuel a lot of this story.
