Nightshade

At the harbormaster’s office, Tash Dano has collected footage of all the boats coming in and out of the harbor the week before Leigh-Anne Moss was killed. Stilwell limits his search to cameras with views of the Black Marlin Club’s private moorings. Dano reveals that some of the members do not announce their docking to the harbormaster. After hours of reviewing tape, Stilwell finds something suspicious: a small work boat leaving the club’s moorings at 3:13 am and returning 25 minutes later. Dano identifies the boat as belonging to Mason Colbrink, a club member and lawyer from the mainland. Dano is delighted to help Stilwell, who worries that he’s endangering her by asking for information.

Stilwell finds footage of a man in a floppy hat and sunglasses taking a yacht called the Emerald Sea out of the Black Marlin Club moorings on Monday the 19th, one week after Moss was fired. As the Emerald Sea passes in front of the control tower cameras, the man positions himself so that his face is obscured from the camera. A few hours later, when the Emerald Sea returns, the man hides his face again.
