Investigators are trying to learn more about a bizarre incident off the coast of Rhode Island. A woman said she fell off a sailboat and her husband didn’t know she had been overboard for hours in Narragansett Bay.
The woman was found on Prudence Island at around 4 a.m. Saturday by a passing boater who heard her cries for help.
Her husband was found around 2 a.m. in Warwick after he ran his sailboat aground. The man told local police he thought his wife was below deck sleeping and didn't realize she was missing.
“The story’s a little cloudy,” a Petty Officer said.
The incident remains under investigation by the state Department of Environmental Management.
