Publisher Description: In Death on the River, bestselling true crime author Diane Fanning recounts a tragic kayak accident that left one man dead--and his fianc e arrested for his murder. A DREAM GETAWAY. A REAL-LIFE NIGHTMARE... It seemed like the perfect romantic afternoon: a kayaking trip for two on the Hudson River. But it ended in tragedy when beautiful, blonde Angelika Graswald called 911 to report that her fianc , the handsome and athletic Vincent Viafore, had fallen into the choppy frigid waters. Authorities assumed it was an accident. But when the bereft bride-to-be posted videos of herself doing cartwheels on social media--shortly before Vincent's body was found--suspicions of murder rose to the surface... After hours of questioning, Angelika made several shocking admissions. She said she felt "trapped" and fed up with Vincent's "demanding" sexual lifestyle: the nightlife, the strip clubs, the threeways. "I wanted him dead," she had said, even though she insisted that she didn't kill him. But as more lurid details emerged--including a $250,000 life insurance policy--a killer question remained: Did Angelika remove the plug of her fianc 's boat...and knock away his paddle as he sank? |
