When a harbormaster spotted what was believed to have been an abandoned sailboat in the cove, he didn’t anticipate he’d come upon a homicide. The gruesome discovery came after a violent macroburst storm battered the seaside town of Warwick, Rhode Island, on August 4, 2015, a destructive force that caused power outages and structural damage around the New England cove. Detective J.P. Toussaint of the Warwick Police Department recalled to Deadly Waters with Captain Lee that high winds and rain “caused havoc” in the area, an event with the potential of reaching wind speeds of 100 miles per hour.
