Thibodeaux was reportedly on the sailboat, Good Humor, with 43-year-old Michael Farley Sunday when for "reasons unknown" they both went into the water, police say. Farley was found Monday morning and was in good condition.
Thibodeaux is from Baton Rouge and most recently worked at a law firm and was also a fitness instructor in the capital city.
