Thus, officials believe Rivera was able to save her son's life before he died. "Her son described that Naya helped her onto the boat, who led him to the deck from behind. He told investigators that he looked back and saw her disappear below the surface of the water," said Bill.
The clues point to Naya's boat not being moored, so in an attempt to spend time in the water together, the boat pulled away and Naya was unable to do anything other than bring her son back, without to be able to save herself.
"We think it was mid-afternoon when he disappeared," Ayub explained. "The idea perhaps is that the boat began to drift, was not anchored, and that it gathered enough energy to get its son back to the boat, but not enough to save himself."
