Two independent private investigators from the States hired by Gatti's family proved it was impossible that Gatti's body would have been found in the place and position it was in if he indeed had hung himself. They believe his wife had an accomplice to assist with murdering Gatti. Motive was Gatti's fortune, which Rodrigues inherited since she was able to coerce Gatti to void their prenuptial agreement three weeks prior to his death. Rodrigues threatened to leave Gatti and take their son with her, moving to Brazil if Gatti did not write a Will leaving his fortune to Rodrigues.
