Drowned Lovers Tragedy Shocks Keyport Bay Scene
In Keyport a boat incident led to the deaths of Kate Strycker and Bert Hess. Their bodies were found floating near the bay after a Sunday ride in a rowboat.

Hess killed her during a dispute and likely drowned himself after the attack, with the boat bearing signs of struggle and blood aboard.
