Investigators have released a late-night briefing confirming that a drone operator monitoring coastal waters during the incident captured a massive, unidentified form trailing behind Livia Mühlheim and the man she was seen with — a shape described as “bigger than any shark on record.”

The footage, which had been withheld for stabilization and enhancement, reportedly shows the couple entering the water just minutes before the attack. But as analysts slowed the frames, the revelation emerged:

Something else was in the water — and it was tracking them.

The Drone Footage That Stunned Experts

Members of the analytical team said the object’s outline does not match any known marine predator. The body mass appears elongated, dark, and unnervingly deliberate in its movement, not chaotic like a shark’s chase.

The drone operator, who has now provided sworn testimony, stated:

“I thought I was watching a shark at first… until it moved. Sharks glide. This thing followed.”

More Shocking Than Its Size

Experts are less focused on the creature’s proportions than on what happened seconds after it surfaced.

According to classified stills:

• The unidentified shape closed in not on Livia, but on the man beside her

• The man swam away first, leaving Livia behind

• The shape shifted direction as if recognizing him—not her

One forensic marine biologist described the footage as:

“Not predatory… but targeted.”

Why the Man’s Behavior Has Now Become the Center of the Case

Authorities have now turned full attention to the unidentified male companion, whose presence has been a mystery from the start.

Paired with the GoPro audio in which Livia murmured “You promised me,” investigators now suspect:

• He knew the waters

• He knew something was there

• He led her in anyway

A source close to the case added:

“If the footage is authentic, this was not nature acting randomly. Someone understood what lived out there.”

The Creature, the Man, and the Minutes Before Terror

The most jarring part of the video is not its size, but its intent.

The drone operator revealed:

“It ignored her until he left. Then everything changed.”
