Tragedy struck on Feb. 13, 2018, when Isenberg and her husband set sail on Lake Coeur d’Alene in Idaho. She alerted authorities that her husband had fallen overboard and she could not find him. First responders arrived at the scene and searched through the lake, yet there was no sign of his body. She explained that her husband wasn't feeling well, which caused him to fall overboard.

It took authorities three weeks to find his body. But during this time, Isenberg had gotten herself entangled in a fraud case for embezzling funds. Four of her daughters assisted her in the embezzlement (Isenberg had six children from previous relationships; she did not have any children with Larry). Isenberg turned herself in, but not before fleeing the area and going missing for two months.
