NYC designer Martha Nolan's business partner posts gut-wrenching goodbye after she's found dead on Montauk boat as cops continue hunt for answers
Briefly

Martha Nolan-O'Slatarra, a prominent Manhattan designer, was found dead on a boat at Montauk Yacht Club. Her partner, Dylan Grace, paid tribute on Instagram, expressing their shared dreams and love. Nolan-O'Slatarra, 33, originally from Ireland, had established herself in the Hamptons with a summer wear brand and a recent pop-up shop at Gurney's Resort. The local community is shaken by her sudden death, and Suffolk County police are investigating its circumstances. The yacht club is well-known, and violent crime is rare in Montauk.
"We dreamed big together, laughed harder than anyone else could understand and built so much from nothing," Dylan Grace said in a moving Instagram tribute to Martha Nolan-O'Slatarra, his partner at design company East x East.
"I'm truly blessed and grateful to have had you in my life," Grace wrote of Nolan-O'Slatarra, who was found dead at the ritzy Montauk Yacht Club Tuesday.
"While Martha was not an employee of Gurney's, we were proud to host her East x East pop-up and admired her entrepreneurial spirit and creative vision," the statement said.
Suffolk County police have not revealed the cause of death nor the circumstances surrounding the tragedy that has shaken many in Montauk - a summer retreat known for its wealth.
