Harvey was set up at the Sandman Hotel. There, recovering from his brief odyssey on the open sea, he eventually found out Terry Jo had not died like he thought.
When a maid entered Harvey’s room to tidy it up, she spotted bloody sheets. She then tried to open the bathroom door, but couldn’t.
The maid told her manager about the condition of Harvey’s room. He quickly called the police.

The police forced the bathroom door open. They found Harvey on the floor. The Blubelle’s captain was bloody and he was dead. Knowing that his lies were soon to be discovered, he had killed himself.
Terry Jo was rescued by Captain Theo, an officer aboard a Greek freighter, and a helicopter took her to a hospital in Miami. Authorities gave Terry Jo a week to get herself together. They then questioned her. Her account exposed the lies that Harvey told.
Terry Jo’s story showed how Harvey, the man with the Hollywood looks, killed everyone aboard Bluebelle. He killed her dad, her mom, her big brother, and her younger sister. He also killed his own wife.
Authorities suspect Harvey killed his wife to get the money from her life insurance. She had a $20,000 double indemnity insurance policy.

Supposedly, Harvey hadn’t meant to kill Arthur Duperrault and his family. But Arthur perhaps caught Harvey killing his wife, which meant he and his family had to go too.
The question remains: Why didn’t Harvey kill Terry Jo? There are multiple answers to this question.

One suggests that he would have if he didn’t have to go after the dinghy. Another possibility is that he wanted to her to stay alive so that he would be caught, suffering from a guilty conscience.
