On October 22nd 2003, newlywed Tina Watson entered the water above the SS Yongala wreck on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef… and never came back alive. Her husband Gabe claimed it was a tragic diving accident. Investigators, Tina’s family and the courts in two countries saw something far more unsettling. In this episode of Chilling Discoveries, we walk through Tina’s life, the ill-fated honeymoon, the dive itself, the conflicting witness accounts, and the extraordinary legal battle that followed in Australia and Alabama. Was this a panicked mistake, unforgivable negligence, or a planned killing for life insurance? We’ll look at the dive computer data, the “bear hug” eyewitness, the life-insurance questions and why two justice systems came to such different conclusions. If you’re interested in true crime, unexplained deaths, and cases where the truth still feels out of reach, this story will stay with you long after the video ends.
