re: the finstad book** and what i've read so far: i'm even more confused than ever...
info already discussed here:
-she says CW was awake and not in his stateroom when NW disappeared from the boat as per his initial statements to LE
-she says witnesses on nearby yacht heard cries b/c they had the windows open in their stateroom and as well they had a quiet generator... they believe this was why they heard the voice when no one else did... as it was cold and rainy that night and most people would not have had windows open under these conditions
new information:
-she says that there was a disagreement/fight at the restaurant that evng between the couple ... and NW threw at least one wine glass against the wall as per two waitresses. (was this info published anywhere else?)... apparently CW told LE that he first threw a wine glass to the floor "as he always did" and then NW did similarly... both waitresses say only NW threw a glass
-she says there was disagreement as to who spotted the dinghy first and the condition of the dinghy when found... the night manager of the restaurant (who took a boat out to look for NW when he heard about the situation) and a pair of lifeguards say they spotted it first. plus, the lifeguards maintain the dinghy and the oars were in "disarray... as if someone had been trying to climb back in" whereas the police divers say the oars were in place and it looked like no one had been aboard <---- how on earth is such an inconsistency even possible??!
and lastly, RW's official press release about the "accident": i believe i posted the entire thing on a previous page if anyone wants to go back to read the whole thing but finstad says there are 5 inconsistencies with it:
1) RW was not going to the stateroom to join his wife after she retired as he said
2) NW did not often take the dinghy out alone as he said
3) RW did not look for her within 10-15 minutes as he said
4) RW did not have a small cruiser with which he went to look for NW as he said
5) RW did not immediately contact the coast guard as he said
now, for me, like joran van der sloot and casey anthony, when you lie even just once --NOT TO MENTION AS MUCH AS RW IS ACCUSED OF WITH THIS STATEMENT-- it tells me you are not telling the truth and you are intentionally hiding things... usually things that are untoward, less than exemplary, criminal? that you want no one to ever find out*
* yes i know DD lied but i am not accusing him of things untoward with this last statement... he has come clean imo... and RW has not ever even attempted to explain why all these contradictions exist
(for those who have read his book: does he explain this?)
** rulli's book states that finstad got some facts wrong... so until i read that book i won't really know how the two differ and if any difference is truly pertinent to how NW died
columbo-- re the LW book: b/c i was ill almost the entire time i've had the book i've only really read the 5-6 pages about that night through the funeral (basically the end of the book)... i would suggest you try to get the book and read it for yourself and maybe you'll uncover some info i missed. LW does say that just prior to that fateful weekend, she thought something was off, amiss, wrong with her sister... but she never returns to this later on to analyze what she thought it might've been
