#3 Tafari Campbell: Given the name one would assume the gentleman was a Rastafarian. And one thing for certain is known of Rastafarians...

#7 Can drown in 3" of water if incapacitated.

That being said:

At the time 19:46 there should still be a good hour of light left before needing artificial lighting to do search and rescue. An' diff ur low cal fire de part mint can do that, Martha's Vinyard, especially considering location, can do it.

There's an old saying in the restaurant business: the best chefs are alcoholics or gay. Or both.

That call is noted in Edgartown Police Department's logs, but the reason behind it is left noticeably blank. The reason for every other call for that night is given.

That's not even bush league.

To me, this screams USSS and a PPD detail with juice enough to suppress the log entry. Who else has a boat on call there, on a brine lake NOT connected to the ocean, that early in the morning?

From the PostMillenial artice:
" It was confirmed that Campbell had a companion on the water, another paddle boarder. Additionally, the initial 911 call, made by a female, indicated that she was on a boat, actively searching for Campbell, going "back and forth" in her efforts to find him."

#10 Baraq in the picture at #1 is wearing a leash on his ankle that attaches to the paddle board. That way, if you fall off the board and into the water, you can pull the board to yourself and grab it. Safe to assume Campbell was wearing such a leash as well because it's standard equipment. So that and the missing reason on the call log and things keep getting curiouser and curiouser.

It doesn't matter if the water was eight feet deep. You can drown in eight inches if you are incapacitated. Was he incapacitated? Did he drown? Accidentally or on purpose? Was the cause of death some other reason? Or will this story disappear down the memory hole?

#12 It would not have been Barak or his detail would have gone too. I suspect that they are protecting one of the kids.
