I believe that the body was found below a dam.  This would indicate that
the water level at the place where the body was ashore changes as the
dam is opened and closed.  Lumber mills often control the amount of
water flowing through, thus regulating the level of the river downstream.
So, Laura's body could have washed up when the water was high, and then been
stranded as the water level was lowered.  No boat needed.  Also, one does
not normally find a lake below a dam...her body could have been right below
Black Lake, but not on its shore.
