Overview

• Suffolk County homicide detectives, supported by the East End Drug Task Force, are probing Nolan-O’Slatarra’s Aug. 5 death aboard the Ripple and interviewing individuals linked to the case.
• An initial autopsy found no external trauma, and officials await toxicology and histology results to determine her cause of death.
• Nolan-O’Slatarra’s family has demanded a second-opinion autopsy and full disclosure of who was present on the yacht that night.
• Photographs showing a white powder on the boat prompted the drug task force’s involvement, though authorities have not confirmed an overdose.
• Christopher Durnan, the reported owner of the Ripple and the last person known to see her alive, faces renewed scrutiny for prior assault allegations but has not been charged in her death.
