An interesting story for sure but one that is a bit hard to reply to as we just don't know much. Also, all of your comments were done on one day, except one.
I don't think he did, I think something just went horribly wrong and his trip became a tragic accident. If I was in Nathan's shoes I would probably be distraught and I'd wonder what had happened and if my mother was still out their alive somewhere.
If he was, then he played it off pretty well. I don't think he is though because his story was clear and he was worried. I would be scared especially if it wasn't my fault, but still scared off getting blamed.
I think it's pretty unlikely (however, not impossible) that Nathan had something to do with the disappearance of his mother. I think this because he was concerned about where she was once he was found. I think this was just a terrible accident and I feel horrible that they haven't been able to find Nathan's mother. If I were Nathan at the time of the accident, I would have been very panicked and unsure of how to react.
I don't think that Nathan has anything to do with his mothers disappearance it was just bad luck with the boat sinking and his mother not being in sight. If I were Nathan I would be worried about where my mother was and if the cops where even close to finding her.
I think that Nathan had nothing to do with the sinking of the ship or disappearance of his mother. If I were Nathan I would be worried about the mother and I would not know what to do.
I don't think Nathan had anything to do with his mother. I think they just separated and neither could do anything about it. If I were Nathan, I would be very overwhelmed and terrified and not know what to do.
I think it was a terrible accident that separated the two. I don't think Nathan had anything more to do with her mother's disappearance than being in the boat with her before the boat sank. I would be terrified and broken. I would probably be in a shock and wouldn't be able to function normally from the horror that happened.
I too would be in such a state of shock I most likely couldn't function properly, however look at this from an investigative perspective. Mother disappears mysteriously the son survives on the lone life raft. If i were a detective i too would be suspicious
No, I don't think that he had anything to do with the disappearance of his mother, but I also don't know.
I would be freaking out trying to get as many people as possible out looking for my mother.
