Drugs too... jmo.

I think lots of evidence, both electronic and powdered, is in the water.

Right, it just stands to reason (lol).

In fact, to me it would make sense to toss any drugs but tossing electronics seems a bit incriminating, no? (not that anyone is guilty afawk) Also, jmo but if the boat owner had been directly responsible they could've tossed everything and everyone overboard, really.

MOO Maybe the boat owner's story will be (I assume he was, or will be, questioned as the last person to see her alive) that she was unsteady when she arrived and dropped her phone in the water, and he reached off the back of the boat to try and get it and his fell out of his pocket? Either way, I hope that both phones will have their digital records thoroughly examined.

Her LinkedIn profile is still accessible:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/marthanolan/

She lists a lot of positions under her experience section and some of them sound good at first glance, but when I dig into them a bit by following links, they all add up to a kind of underwhelming career with a lot of starts and stops that don't add up to much. It's not a track record that, if I were a rich insurance company owner, would inspire me to invest $200K in a bikini design firm run by Ms. Nolan.

Furthermore, how do two people like Ms. Nolan and C. Dolan, the insurance guy and angel investor in her business, even meet in the first place? It would be interesting to know.

Of course, it's also rather weird that, according to news reports, Mr. Dolan appears to have been naked during their "business meeting."

In 2022, she was sued by the founder of Out East Accessories Inc., owned by Jeremy Valeda. A court filing states: ‘Defendant Martha Nolan [O’Slattara] was a former employee of Out East, a company that specialises in the sale of its own branded sunglasses.

[Ms Nolan O’Slattara] was terminated by Out East for cause in November 2021. In the weeks leading up to her termination and for months thereafter, Nolan ransacked Out East, stole all of its assets, and essentially destroyed the company.’

In the filing, Ms Nolan O’Slattara and another person were accused of stealing the $34,000 (€29,000) remaining in Out East’s bank account, stealing all of Out East’s eyewear inventory, and selling or gifting the eyewear without authorisation, to enrich themselves at a total loss to the company.

I also wonder how they got in business together. On the East x East website …. There are “Durnan” sunglasses (sold out).

From OP's link:

She and her co-defendant strongly denied any wrongdoing. The case was settled a few months after it was filed.

Ms. Nolan had a knack for attracting publicity for her entrepreneurial ventures.

Giving shade: the Irish entrepreneur taking on the Big Apple with sunglasses start-up - The Currency

Irishwoman Martha Nolan has done what many have tried over lockdown. She has started her own business. Yet she is doing it from one of the busiest cities in the world – New York. And in December 2020. at the age of 28, Nolan launched Out East Eyewear, a luxury brand that offers a replacement...

thecurrency.news

Around the time she co-founded Out East Eyewear, she was featured in the "Alumni Spotlight" on the alumni Facebook page of University College Dublin (from which she graduated with a business degree).

Another co-founder of the sunglass company was Jeff Aborn, head of a small investment firm in NYC.

So she also had a knack for finding capital for her business ideas.

From the same link:

Officials were awaiting additional toxicology results from an autopsy before concluding the probe, Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney told The Post on Tuesday.

He noted investigators were zeroing in on whether “designer drugs” played a role.

“In our society right now, the way we’ve evolved with these designer drugs, all these substances that are created in a lab, you want to be extra careful that whatever testing you’ve done is comprehensive and complete before you make any findings in the case,” he said.

Not familiar with the website, but this seems like a standard dodge that a website might employ to be covertly like "We have no hope of seeing any inventory in future; so we're just going to slug this as "perpetually unavailable".

Well, it clearly helped that she was model-pretty IMO.

Really? And yet very early in the case, I recall reading that LE confirmed that the subject photograph depicted fingerprint dusting powder. IMO, not very likely for a recreational quantity of powder on an open, moored boat not to blow away overnight. We don't even have the COD!

That article reads like a journalist making it up as they go along. Are we to believe that the Police are out there searching for a random drug supplier of an unknown substance without any tox screen results even suggesting what this girl might have taken?
