I agree with the person who questions all this "Natalie was so afraid of the water" stuff. When I was a kid, I went out fishing and crabbing with my grandfather on his boats. He was a capable boatsman, so I never felt scared. Later, I developed an intense fear of drowning, even though I'm drawn to water for its beauty, as well as its powers of relaxation. These days, I don't feel comfortable on boats, so I doubt I would own a yacht if I were so terrified of the water. I also detest flying, which I do only when it can't be avoided. I also try to avoid huge bridges whenever possible; if I must be on a large bridge, I stick to inside lanes.
The ridiculous woman who claims to have heard Wood that night should be ignored as the opportunist she is. Nothing about her story makes any sense, especially the words Wood supposedly cried out. "I'm drowning"? Really? Of all the people I've ever seen struggling in the water, not one of them ever screamed "I'm drowning." Given Wood's level of intoxication and disorientation, as well as the chilly waters, I doubt her voice would have been so clear, no less amid all the sounds of parties, wildlife, etc.
