This might be interesting.
Angelika Graswald told New York police that she tampered with her fiance's kayak before his death on the Hudson River and that it "felt good knowing he was going to die", prosecutors have told a bail hearing in Orange County.
Ms Graswald, 35, stands accused of intentionally drowning fiance Vincent Viafore while the couple were kayaking together last month. She made a desperate emergency call from the river, saying Mr Viafore, 46, had capsized and she could not find him in the cold, choppy water.
In the days after the kayak trip, she created a flurry of Facebook posts that made her seem less grieving than liberated.
So, we have weird behaviour (guilty) a confession (guilty) and a motive i.e. insurance money and maybe freedom from unwanted relationship (guilty). Does it pass the smell test? No. Because:
1 tampering with a kayak is not a sure way of killing a person
2 if you fail, you may not fail safe
3 nothing in the article about a recovered kayak showing evidence of tampering
4 the tampering would have to be of a kind that was not obvious to investigators (basically, what else is there apart from knocking a hole in it?)
5 English not first language so 'confession' may not be all it seems
Man, you guys (in the US) need to move to 100% taped interviews with lawyer present. Does Poughkeepsie have the DP?
