Reply #2: I've always thought

Natalie and Robert, who'd both been drinking, may have had an argument and that Natalie, in a huff, decided to leave the yacht in the rowboat but was unable to maneuver herself into the rowboat and fell in the water - or else fell out of the rowboat before she'd had a chance to sit down in it. Similar mishaps have happened to me when I was stone sober and tried to go from one fishing boat to another.

If there was a cover-up, it may have been to merely keep some of the Wagners' dirty laundry from being aired. I don't think anyone intentionally caused her death.

But I do wonder if the reports are true of some people in the vicinity hearing cries for help that night, and then hearing calm-sounding voices saying things like "We'll be right there."

I doubt this goes anywhere. It's intriguing, though.
