Secret behind model Janita McNaughton's boat trip death
''Today, Victoria police announced they will be offering $1 million reward as part of the investigation into Ms McNaughton's death. Police claim they've now disproved the dropped gun theory.
"We're painfully close to solving it," Detective Senior Constable Ben Aulich told A Current Affair.''
"We're confident we now know what actually occurred on the boat that day. But we're just seeking some, some further information from the public."
When A Current Affair reporter Tineka Everaardt tracked Mr Komianos down, he was irate and vexed by the questions about the case.
"I'm not saying anything to you," he said.
"There's been two investigations and there's no problems," he added.
Yet, according to Detective Senior Constable Mr Aulich, Mr Komianos remains the "primary focus" of the police investigation.

Robert is also among those who remain suspicious. He believes the four witnesses on the boat, including Mr Komianos, have spent over three decades harbouring a dark secret.
"The four of them were on the boat, they know what happened, only they can answer that question," Robert said.
"I don't know what it would be like to live for 30 odd years with a secret like that."

The family are hopeful the $1 million reward will help solve the case, and lead to the conviction of the person responsible.
It won't come soon enough for Ms McNaughton's mother though, who Robert says died with a broken heart.''
