Body camera video shows a pair of officers inside the charred vessel. The fire damaged much of the cabin, police called it a total loss.

Officers searched the cabin area and appeared to search through a seating area before leaving the boat. This was not the time investigators found Shrivers.

Police said Shriver was previously in a relationship with the owner of the boat. The man told police he ended the relationship with her and told his wife.

Investigators found Shriver’s body June 10. Police say her body was lying on a bench underneath a large cushion. They say they had to remove the cushion to make the discovery, according to the police report.

Shriver had soot in her lungs, officials said. No foul play is suspected.
