MONTAUK, N.Y. — A single line of newly released dispatch audio shows just how little distance New York authorities have covered in nearly two weeks since a luxury summer getaway turned into a mysterious tragedy when 33-year-old swimwear entrepreneur Martha Nolan-O’Slatarra was found dead aboard a docked yacht at the exclusive Montauk Yacht Club.
Suffolk County Police detectives launched a homicide investigation shortly after Nolan was discovered unresponsive on a vessel named the Ripple just after midnight on Aug. 5.

“Adult female, unconscious, not breathing at the Montauk Yacht Club,” he says.
Despite frantic CPR attempts by good Samaritans and first responders, she was pronounced dead on the yacht.
