It Didn't Add Up
What happened on the evening of November 28, 1981, has been reviewed again and again with no clear conclusion. According to the investigators' initial report, this is what happened: after returning to the yacht, Wood went to bed and Wagner left to join her, but he noticed that both Wood and the yacht's dinghy were missing. Around 8 a.m. the following morning, Wood's body was found. She was clad in a flannel nightgown, down jacket, and socks.
Wood was terrified of the water.
Listed as an "Accident"
Wood's autopsy noted that she had multiple bruises on her arms and an abrasion on her left cheek, but the coroner chalked it up to "superficial" injuries that were "probably sustained at the time of drowning." Still, pieces of the puzzle just didn't fit together.
