Larry, It is my opinion that Mr. Kemp did staged his own death. By leaving his personal items on the Catalina Express boat he makes us believe that he did not exit the boat.
First, I would look at all security cameras in the Catalina harbor and all private boats which left Catalina in last 24 hours.
Second, I would look closely into his personal life problems and follow the money, i.e. his life insurance and the beneficiary or other financial scams.
