Thebestselling true crime author recounts a tragic kayak accident that left one man deadâand his fiancĂ©e arrested for his murder.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 fiancĂ©, 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 mediaâshortly before Vincent's body was foundâsuspicions 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 emergedâincluding a $250,000 life insurance policyâa killer question remained: Did Angelika remove the plug of her fiancĂ©'s boat . . . and knock away his paddle as he sank?
