The fam, spanning three generations -- Dennis Woods, 70, his 90-year-old uncle Clarence, plus Cris Harding Sr., 42, and Cris Harding Jr., 18 -- were seen desperately waving Tuesday morning, standing on top of their 25-foot catamaran -- ironically named Money Well Wasted -- when the Air Station Miami HC-144 Ocean Sentry crew finally spotted them.

The foursome set out at 9:30 AM the day before for Dennis’ birthday fishing trip ... but by early afternoon, the catamaran started taking on water and flipped. According to the Coast Guard, they were reported missing by another family member Tuesday night.

LAPD has come out officially to dispute TMZ's story -- that the body of Celeste Rivas was partially frozen when it was examined -- but one source has doubled down.

A source connected to the L.A. County Medical Examiner insists Celeste's body was partially frozen when it was discovered inside a car registered to singer D4vd. This is in square contradiction to what LAPD is saying on the record.

It's interesting ... in one document from the Medical Examiner, it reads, "The decedent was not live scanned due to waterlogged fingers." Translation ... the M.E. was unable to fingerprint Celeste's body.

The unnamed 56-year-old man left the dead body of his 82-year-old mom -- Graziella Dall’Oglio -- to mummify as he pulled off the elaborate scam, according to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.

Anna Kepner was murdered on a Carnival Cruise ship ... at least that's the conclusion reached on her death certificate.

The document, obtained by ABC News, says Anna died as a result of "mechanical asphyxia" on November 6, and it notes the 18-year-old "was mechanically asphyxiated by other person(s)."

As you know ... FBI agents found two bruises on the side of Anna's neck, and she was thought to have died from a "bar hold" -- an arm placed across the neck.

Anna Kepner’s grandparents are shutting down any talk she was scared of her stepbrother -- the teen reportedly under investigation in her cruise-ship death -- making it clear they have faith in his innocence.

In an ABC News sit-down interview, Barbara and Jeffrey Kepner said 18-year-old Anna and her 16-year-old stepbrother were "two peas in a pod," and cared for each other "in the right way" -- a far cry from what Joshua Tew, Anna’s first love, claimed ... saying her other brother told him about a nasty blowout the pair allegedly had inside the cabin they were all sharing.

The grandparents say authorities told them the stepbrother is considered a suspect in the case. They admit they’ve got no clue what actually went down inside that cabin -- they’re waiting on answers just like everyone else -- but pointing the finger at the stepbrother? They’re nowhere near ready to go there.
