AP said that all the wife's story has checked out and a witness confirmed she was being chased by a boat. Said police had no reason to doubt her account of events.
There can be many reasons the body has not been found. It is a very large lake and the international border runs right thru the middle of it. American authorities are not allowed on the mexican side of the lake and this is where the attack took place, so the body could be beached in mexico and nobody from the US has access to that side of the lake. Its also my understanding that a lot of the mexican side is pretty rough, desolate country.
There have been other cases of pirates/robbers attacking & robbing other folks on the mexican side of the lake. Even if they see it happening, US authorities cannot cross the border into the mexican side to protect US citizens and the bad guys know this.
Just thought I would try to clarify some of the unique circumstances involved at this lake.
We may never know exactly what happened but I'm sure that Mythbusters would find her story "plausible".
