Sounds pretty much like what was first suspected by the authorities.

I wonder if they are looking for volunteers to pull the switch on the electric chair?

No doubt about it --- the JOE COOL story is a sad one and that some of us can really relate to.

I just read the Power&Yacht article mentioned in the above post. I was on this boat at Montauk this summer. As I remember ...
Sombody from the dock shouted,"Hear comes another 31".

The "boat" aproaches the dock, spins smartley to starboard and backs into the slip. Holy Cow! Look at this. You just don't know what to think. Or to say. I kept my mouth shut. This was a fishing machine. It had all the blood stains to prove it. And the Captain had a Louisiana tan .. whatever that is. There were too many gold Penn 50's and 80's to count. This was a boat straight from a Hemmingway novel. The Captain? Him too.

The "boat" looked low in the water. Well, with 1300# of ice , eight yellow fins, maybe six bull dolphins, bait and the rods, what do you expect. Oh, yeah. Add: Maybe four or five harpoons. Jeez!
