33
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 4>Good evening. In Death on the River, best selling true

34
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:55.680
<v Speaker 4>crime author Diane Fanning recounts a tragic kayak accident that

35
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 4>left one man dead and his fiancee arrested for his murder.

36
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.319
<v Speaker 4>A dream getaway a real life nightmare. It seemed like

37
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.840
<v Speaker 4>the perfect romantic afternoon, a kayaking trip for two on

38
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.039
<v Speaker 4>the Hudson River, but it ended in tragedy when beautiful

39
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:14.879
<v Speaker 4>blonde Angelica Graswald called nine one one to report that

40
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:19.280
<v Speaker 4>her fiancee, the handsome and athletic Vincent Viefort, had fallen

41
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:23.439
<v Speaker 4>into the choppy, frigid waters. Authorities assumed it was an accident,

42
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:26.800
<v Speaker 4>but when the bereft bride to be posted videos of

43
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.919
<v Speaker 4>herself doing cartwheels on social media shortly before Vincent's body

44
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:35.879
<v Speaker 4>was found, suspicions of murder rose to the surface. After

45
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:40.840
<v Speaker 4>hours of questioning, Angelica made several shocking admissions. She said

46
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:45.000
<v Speaker 4>she felt trapped and fed up with Vincent's demanding sexual lifestyle,

47
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.439
<v Speaker 4>the night life, the strip clubs, the three ways I

48
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.719
<v Speaker 4>wanted him dead, she had said, even though she insisted

49
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.719
<v Speaker 4>that she didn't kill him. But as more lurid details emerged,

50
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 4>including a two hundred fifty thousand dollars life insurance Paul,

51
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:04.280
<v Speaker 4>We'll see a killer question remained. Did Angelica remove the

52
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.800
<v Speaker 4>plug of her fiance's boat and knock away his paddle

53
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.879
<v Speaker 4>as he sank. The book that we're featuring this evening

54
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:15.080
<v Speaker 4>is Death on the River, A Fiance's Dark Secrets and

55
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 4>a kayak trip turned Deadly, with my special guest, journalist

56
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 4>and author Diane Fanning. Welcome back to the program, and

57
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.840
<v Speaker 4>thank you so much for agreeing to this interview. Diane Fanning.

58
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 1>It is a pleasure to be here talking with you again.

59
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:33.240
<v Speaker 4>Dan, It's an absolute pleasure to have you back on Diana,

60
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:37.919
<v Speaker 4>especially this book. Again. You've done yourself once again with

61
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:44.159
<v Speaker 4>Death on the River. Let's talk about how you came

62
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.479
<v Speaker 4>to be the author of Death on the River. What

63
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:48.680
<v Speaker 4>brought you to this story? How did you come to

64
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.039
<v Speaker 4>be the author of Death on the River?

65
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:56.319
<v Speaker 1>Well, it seemed like something that was very different and

66
00:03:56.439 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of questions to it. Being the nosy

67
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:05.680
<v Speaker 1>person I am, I wanted to find answers, and so

68
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I started working on it. I took a trip up

69
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.120
<v Speaker 1>to Pipsie and looked at the river, and I tell you,

70
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 1>when you stand by the side of that river and

71
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.680
<v Speaker 1>look across to Bannerman Island, to me, it looked like

72
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:22.720
<v Speaker 1>a very forbidding instance to travel. And that was when

73
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 1>the war was.

74
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:28.360
<v Speaker 4>Pardon me, the part was cut off.

75
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:33.839
<v Speaker 1>Sorry. I said that when I looked across there, even

76
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.920
<v Speaker 1>though the river was calm at the time, it looked

77
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>like a very forbidding distance. It's not something I would

78
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:41.160
<v Speaker 1>even think about trying.

79
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.000
<v Speaker 4>Yes, certainly. Well, let's get right to this, because, as

80
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:47.839
<v Speaker 4>you do in the book, you take us right to

81
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:56.040
<v Speaker 4>this incident in April nineteenth, twenty fifteen. So let's talk

82
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.920
<v Speaker 4>about Vincent via Ford, a forty six year old nscionce

83
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.839
<v Speaker 4>the Angelica Graswald. You write that they set off from

84
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 4>their home in Pilkeepsie, New York, on the east side

85
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.920
<v Speaker 4>of the Hudson River with a pair of kayaks. Tell

86
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.879
<v Speaker 4>us about this planned trip and when it was and

87
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.839
<v Speaker 4>tell us more about this as you do, and the

88
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:17.600
<v Speaker 4>beginning of the book.

89
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 1>This is a very beautiful spring day. It was early

90
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.720
<v Speaker 1>in the season for kayaking. It's one of those days

91
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.879
<v Speaker 1>that was so beautiful that it drove a lot of

92
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:32.360
<v Speaker 1>people into the outside and to enjoying the warmth and

93
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:37.720
<v Speaker 1>brilliance of the sun that day and vincent angels there

94
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:42.240
<v Speaker 1>were no exceptions. Back to kayaks and headed out. They

95
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:45.079
<v Speaker 1>stopped a fast food place and got something to eat,

96
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:51.480
<v Speaker 1>and then they headed south and turned in to a

97
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:56.279
<v Speaker 1>wilderness park kind of area along the river between the

98
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>highway and the river worked to plumb point. It's a

99
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.759
<v Speaker 1>good spot for setting the kayaks in the water to

100
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:10.279
<v Speaker 1>travel across. They went across to Bannerman Island, which is

101
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:15.160
<v Speaker 1>a very small island, but it has ruins of what

102
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:18.279
<v Speaker 1>was an arsenal and it looks like a castle and

103
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:25.279
<v Speaker 1>one glorious mansion on the island, and it was a

104
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:31.680
<v Speaker 1>place that many times before she volunteered to work on

105
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:38.199
<v Speaker 1>the gardens there as warm Weather did kayak before they

106
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.800
<v Speaker 1>went over to the island, and Angelica had taken along

107
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.920
<v Speaker 1>some lingerie and she was trying it on and taking

108
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:51.240
<v Speaker 1>provocative pictures, and they had a nice afternoon. Towards the

109
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.639
<v Speaker 1>end of their trip over there, they tried to take

110
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:58.959
<v Speaker 1>the kayaks around the back of the island, but the

111
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:05.240
<v Speaker 1>island the weather was starting to turn stormy and they

112
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:09.319
<v Speaker 1>couldn't because of the tide, get back there, so instead

113
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.079
<v Speaker 1>they went back around and went back onto the island.

114
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.680
<v Speaker 1>But then they saw the ominous clouds that were rolling

115
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:20.160
<v Speaker 1>in and the daylight was fading, and they decided that yeah,

116
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:23.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe they better head on back. Well, the Hudson is

117
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:28.319
<v Speaker 1>a tidal river, so you get a lot of waves

118
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>on it when the storm turns it up, and it

119
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.879
<v Speaker 1>turns very rough, very readily. And they started heading back,

120
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:37.199
<v Speaker 1>and at first Vince thought it was a lot of fun.

121
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:41.279
<v Speaker 1>It was like riding rapids, and they were going back,

122
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and suddenly Vince was in full his kayak had taken

123
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.199
<v Speaker 1>on water, and was starting to think next thing. He

124
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.199
<v Speaker 1>was in the water. The spring day had been very

125
00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:55.600
<v Speaker 1>deceiving because the winners of the Hudson was still very pold,

126
00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:58.279
<v Speaker 1>and when he fell in that water without a wet

127
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:04.160
<v Speaker 1>suit on Ermia started to set in almost immediately, and

128
00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>they were in the water. Angelica was still in her kayak,

129
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:15.360
<v Speaker 1>but Vince was losing control of all of his muscles

130
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.000
<v Speaker 1>and it was becoming harder and harder for him to breathe,

131
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:26.319
<v Speaker 1>and for some reason, Angelika took his ore his kayak

132
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.000
<v Speaker 1>paddle and fastened the side of her boat. At one point,

133
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:32.840
<v Speaker 1>she said she took it away from him, and then

134
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:34.679
<v Speaker 1>she tried to walk back out of it and say

135
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:39.240
<v Speaker 1>he gave it to her. Whatever the case, she spent

136
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:48.080
<v Speaker 1>one half hour watching Vince's struggle before she called nine

137
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>to one one, And that is the most damning fact

138
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:57.559
<v Speaker 1>in this case, in my opinion, that she did nothing.

139
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:02.399
<v Speaker 1>If I were out on the water with someone I loved,

140
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I most certainly would have done anything to try and

141
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.559
<v Speaker 1>save their life. I'd even risk my own to do it.

142
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:15.039
<v Speaker 1>Angelika didn't. She just sat in that kayak, and then

143
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 1>while she was on the phone with nine to one one,

144
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:21.360
<v Speaker 1>she said she couldn't see him anymore, and they told

145
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:25.320
<v Speaker 1>her to start paddling towards the yacht club. There was

146
00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:29.279
<v Speaker 1>a boat coming out to rescue her. She started doing that,

147
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:34.799
<v Speaker 1>but when she saw the boat approaching she intentionally overturned

148
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:38.759
<v Speaker 1>her own kayak, and when asked about that later, she said, well,

149
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:40.639
<v Speaker 1>I wanted him to think I had tried to save

150
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:46.159
<v Speaker 1>his life. But when the rescue boat went out, they

151
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:56.639
<v Speaker 1>brought in Angelica, but they could not find any sign. Okay, the.

152
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:02.799
<v Speaker 4>Information that you just mentioned the twenty minutes, none of

153
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:06.240
<v Speaker 4>this information is known right away when she calls nine

154
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:10.600
<v Speaker 4>one one, right from the beginning of right from the

155
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:12.879
<v Speaker 4>very beginning, when she calls nine one one, and then

156
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:17.120
<v Speaker 4>this rescue unit comes out. There there are things that

157
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:21.799
<v Speaker 4>personnel notice immediately. Can you tell us some of those

158
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:25.799
<v Speaker 4>things that they noticed immediately in terms of her demeanor, behavior,

159
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:32.120
<v Speaker 4>and then how slowly or quickly it unravels some of

160
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:37.919
<v Speaker 4>the inconsistencies that she says two different law enforcement.

161
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Officials, one thing that while they were still trying to

162
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:48.960
<v Speaker 1>rescue him and save as well, and she repeatedly said

163
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:53.480
<v Speaker 1>that she had dropped her telephone into the river. But

164
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:59.840
<v Speaker 1>while she was being put on a gurney and be

165
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:04.360
<v Speaker 1>taken toward an ambulance, a police officer there heard a

166
00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:07.720
<v Speaker 1>phone ringing in her bag. When he tried to look

167
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:10.840
<v Speaker 1>in her bag, she stopped him. She wouldn't let him

168
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:14.000
<v Speaker 1>look in her bag, and so that was once that

169
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:17.759
<v Speaker 1>why wouldn't you let the police have that tone? That

170
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:21.399
<v Speaker 1>phone could have located the exact spot where Vince went

171
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>into the water, but she wouldn't let them know that.

172
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:31.639
<v Speaker 1>And she continued in that behavior after she was taking

173
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.679
<v Speaker 1>to the hospital. That same police officer went there and

174
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:38.360
<v Speaker 1>he tried a couple of times to look in her bag,

175
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:44.679
<v Speaker 1>and she kept sitting up suddenly looking at him and

176
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:48.559
<v Speaker 1>asking what he was doing. And it was interfering with

177
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:51.960
<v Speaker 1>her being treated for hypothermia. Because of her short time

178
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:57.399
<v Speaker 1>in the water, she already had some symptoms of hypothermia.

179
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:05.519
<v Speaker 1>That something that was a bit disturbing, but it didn't

180
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:11.399
<v Speaker 1>really immediately point to her as having done something wrong.

181
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.399
<v Speaker 1>Everybody was giving her the benefit of the doubt at first.

182
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Number one, there was a grief issue. Number two, she

183
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:27.120
<v Speaker 1>had just so although right away she was doing suspicious things,

184
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:32.679
<v Speaker 1>everybody wanted to treat her as if she just lost

185
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:36.480
<v Speaker 1>a loved one, and she was treated very gently initially.

186
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:40.639
<v Speaker 1>But when she went down when they were doing the

187
00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:44.360
<v Speaker 1>search for events along the river, she showed up not

188
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.519
<v Speaker 1>every day, but a lot of the days, and she

189
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.720
<v Speaker 1>was not really searching. She was treating it more like

190
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:57.960
<v Speaker 1>a party experience, a social experience, and she was giving

191
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>away items belonged to Vince. Now, when you think somebody's

192
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:09.440
<v Speaker 1>just missing, you don't start giving their stuff away. It

193
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:12.600
<v Speaker 1>was very alarming to the people who overheard her, like

194
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:19.039
<v Speaker 1>Vince's sister, something wasn't right, and they started out being

195
00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:24.559
<v Speaker 1>supportive of her, but she totally chewed away at their

196
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.600
<v Speaker 1>lack of suspicion. The police, on the other hand, weren't

197
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.960
<v Speaker 1>hearing any of these things. And even when she said

198
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:40.759
<v Speaker 1>We're going to have a get together to remember Vince

199
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:46.480
<v Speaker 1>at his favorite restaurant and she invited the police, they

200
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:51.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't go. And the people that were there were disturbed

201
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:56.279
<v Speaker 1>by her behavior. Was around talking to everybody acting happy.

202
00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:04.639
<v Speaker 1>The ex wife of Vince was absolutely devastated. She was great,

203
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:08.919
<v Speaker 1>and it was the difference was stark. People could not

204
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.399
<v Speaker 1>understand how his ex wife could be grieving so badly

205
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:18.120
<v Speaker 1>and Angelica with Angelica rather was walking around acting like

206
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:23.720
<v Speaker 1>it was a big event all for her, And so

207
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:29.120
<v Speaker 1>the friends and family were starting to have lots of questions,

208
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:33.440
<v Speaker 1>and Vince's sister even called one of the investigators to

209
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:39.120
<v Speaker 1>express her concerns after Angelica into the cartwheel in her backyard.

210
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:43.120
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't like she was grieving at all.

211
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:51.240
<v Speaker 4>You introduced some very very fascinating characters. Detective di Quarto,

212
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:55.679
<v Speaker 4>he's a state police investigator that had got a call

213
00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:59.919
<v Speaker 4>from Trooper Vidakovich who told him of the missing kayak

214
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:06.360
<v Speaker 4>mission and kayaker and so he had asked Freeman to

215
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:10.759
<v Speaker 4>talk to Angelica. So this is the first person, and

216
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:15.600
<v Speaker 4>you talk about Detective de Quarto and his approach to

217
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:21.679
<v Speaker 4>Angelica and the questioning. Tell us what her reasoning or

218
00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:27.039
<v Speaker 4>the reason for Vincent not having not only a bodysuit

219
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:31.879
<v Speaker 4>in that time of the year, but also a life vest.

220
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:33.519
<v Speaker 4>What's her explanation.

221
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:38.840
<v Speaker 1>She said, they only brought one with them, and Vince

222
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:43.960
<v Speaker 1>insisted did she wear it, which does sound like something

223
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:48.279
<v Speaker 1>Vince would do, but still it's odd that there was

224
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:55.039
<v Speaker 1>only one. Vince was an experienced kayaker, he knew he

225
00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:59.240
<v Speaker 1>should have a life veest. So what happened to that

226
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:04.120
<v Speaker 1>other life. That's a question that will probably never be

227
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:14.720
<v Speaker 1>answered because we can't ask Vince. So she insisted that

228
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:17.000
<v Speaker 1>it was all because of Vince, that he didn't have

229
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:21.240
<v Speaker 1>a life jacket. All he had was that little flotation

230
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:25.080
<v Speaker 1>device that doubled as a seat cover in the kayak.

231
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:35.879
<v Speaker 4>You talked about that. The extensive search, an incredible search

232
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:40.440
<v Speaker 4>with professionals and volunteers and friends and family. At some point, helicopters,

233
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:46.440
<v Speaker 4>different county police departments in working in cooperation with each other.

234
00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:51.240
<v Speaker 4>But the Hudson River is problematic in them predicting where

235
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:55.759
<v Speaker 4>this body might turn up. And as a result, this

236
00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:57.919
<v Speaker 4>search continued for quite a while, didn't.

237
00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:04.119
<v Speaker 1>It continued, and they it was very difficult because the

238
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:06.759
<v Speaker 1>Hudson is a tidal river, so that means it sort

239
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:07.960
<v Speaker 1>of changes direction.

240
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:09.440
<v Speaker 4>And so.

241
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:14.799
<v Speaker 1>When, like with a lot of bodies of water, you

242
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:20.799
<v Speaker 1>can trace the direction of body might go in because

243
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.759
<v Speaker 1>you can chart it well, the Hudson can't be charted

244
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:27.160
<v Speaker 1>so well because it could have gone either way. And

245
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:30.839
<v Speaker 1>so they had to keep broadening and broadening it. And

246
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:35.440
<v Speaker 1>they had helicopters, they had people walking along the shoreline,

247
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:41.160
<v Speaker 1>they had sides standing sonar on a boat. I mean,

248
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:44.799
<v Speaker 1>they were doing everything they could try to find his body.

249
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:48.480
<v Speaker 1>But part of the problem that Vince had with the

250
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:50.799
<v Speaker 1>water was the fact that it was so cold, and

251
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:55.559
<v Speaker 1>that also provided a problem for the search because it

252
00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:59.960
<v Speaker 1>isn't with the Hudson River. When it gets so cold,

253
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:05.799
<v Speaker 1>bodies go down to the bottom and they don't come

254
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.599
<v Speaker 1>up until the weather it gets a little warmer.

255
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:16.200
<v Speaker 4>You talk about and including this book that Angelica her

256
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:20.880
<v Speaker 4>former name Angelica Lipska, you provide for us that she

257
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:23.960
<v Speaker 4>was born in Riga, Latvia, and you tell a little

258
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:28.119
<v Speaker 4>bit of the history of its relation with Germany, that

259
00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:31.519
<v Speaker 4>of Germany. So let's talk about a little bit about

260
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:36.319
<v Speaker 4>her upbringing and especially the very very interesting and of

261
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:43.279
<v Speaker 4>course relevant former marriage and relationship background on Angelica.

262
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:51.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she was raised in a pretty big situation of poverty.

263
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Her family didn't have much money and not need. It's

264
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:02.759
<v Speaker 1>no goods because they were behind the Iron curtain when

265
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:11.559
<v Speaker 1>Angelica was born, so they were surviving basically. When the

266
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.400
<v Speaker 1>iron curtain was lifted, things did get a little bit

267
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:20.119
<v Speaker 1>better as far as the hopefulness returned to the people.

268
00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:25.440
<v Speaker 1>And it was when that happened that Angelika was able

269
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:29.240
<v Speaker 1>to start having dreams that she could believe might come through.

270
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:33.000
<v Speaker 1>And her big dream was to go to the United States.

271
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Before the curtain lifted when she was around ten, nobody

272
00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:42.559
<v Speaker 1>could count on ever doing that, and once it was

273
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:45.640
<v Speaker 1>up she could dream of that, and when he got

274
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:50.160
<v Speaker 1>old enough, she immediately went and applied for a visa

275
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:52.400
<v Speaker 1>to go to the United States and started looking for

276
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:55.759
<v Speaker 1>a job as a nanny, and she got one with

277
00:19:55.960 --> 00:20:00.839
<v Speaker 1>family in New Jersey, and so she went over to

278
00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:04.799
<v Speaker 1>the United States with that job. She hadn't been there

279
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:09.720
<v Speaker 1>really long when this guy came in to repair the

280
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:15.200
<v Speaker 1>furnace and Angelika and he hit it off right away,

281
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:18.880
<v Speaker 1>and before you know it, she was getting married and

282
00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:24.519
<v Speaker 1>Sean was taking her away from her from her nanny job.

283
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:29.680
<v Speaker 1>That marriage didn't last very long at all. It was

284
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:34.160
<v Speaker 1>tumultuous from the very beginning. It was too sudden, and

285
00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:38.519
<v Speaker 1>they didn't really know each other. After that relationship ended,

286
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:43.240
<v Speaker 1>she met a man who had Richard Greswold, who had

287
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:48.440
<v Speaker 1>a very prosperous concrete business and it was out of

288
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the decorative concrete product available, and she was married to him.

289
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.759
<v Speaker 1>And when she got a job at the Frank Eleanor

290
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:05.839
<v Speaker 1>Roosevelt Museum, digitalizing a lot of the records they had

291
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:11.759
<v Speaker 1>stored there. So she was going up to the Presidential

292
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Museum and working on making digital stuff that could go online.

293
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:23.279
<v Speaker 1>And she'd go into there and she would stay during

294
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:26.720
<v Speaker 1>the weekend, then go to her husband on the weekend. Well,

295
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:30.480
<v Speaker 1>by being there, she ended up going to a lot

296
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:34.000
<v Speaker 1>of the different bars in the area on her evenings off,

297
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:38.640
<v Speaker 1>and it was in doing that that she met another

298
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:46.440
<v Speaker 1>guy that she really liked, and she suddenly decided to

299
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:50.000
<v Speaker 1>leave her husband. And she sent a message to this

300
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:54.000
<v Speaker 1>guy and say, hey, I'm leaving my husband. Well, he

301
00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:57.319
<v Speaker 1>was kind of odd that she would inform him of

302
00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:01.160
<v Speaker 1>this because as far as he was concerned, she was

303
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:05.400
<v Speaker 1>just an occasional liason. And then, much to his surprise,

304
00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:08.319
<v Speaker 1>she comes and knocks on his door and says she's

305
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:12.559
<v Speaker 1>moving in. Well, he was kind of a really laid

306
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:16.000
<v Speaker 1>back guy, so he thought, okay, let's move in. She

307
00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:19.400
<v Speaker 1>can move in, no big deal. So that's what happened.

308
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:27.359
<v Speaker 1>And it was very strange because she kind of thought

309
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:31.480
<v Speaker 1>she should be a kept woman and he objected to that,

310
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:33.960
<v Speaker 1>and he said she's got to get a job, and

311
00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:35.759
<v Speaker 1>even went so far as to buy her a car

312
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:39.359
<v Speaker 1>so she could get to work. So we did that,

313
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:44.559
<v Speaker 1>But then they went to this Beatles convention and he

314
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:49.200
<v Speaker 1>had to drink and because of that, he couldn't perform sexually.

315
00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:53.279
<v Speaker 1>So as far as Angelica was concerned because he couldn't

316
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:56.200
<v Speaker 1>do that on that one time. He was unger a man,

317
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:02.640
<v Speaker 1>and she moved into the separate bedroom and then met

318
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:06.440
<v Speaker 1>this other guy who was a photographer, and next thing

319
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:09.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, she's leaving the house she's living in and

320
00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:14.920
<v Speaker 1>serving in with this guy's sister. That sister, and he

321
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:21.039
<v Speaker 1>was then kicked out of his sister's house because they

322
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:24.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't want him bringing other people in. So he and

323
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Angelica were living by the river in a tent when

324
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:33.880
<v Speaker 1>her former live in decided he bought this car and

325
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:36.240
<v Speaker 1>he wants the car back, he doesn't want her driving it.

326
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:43.200
<v Speaker 1>They returned it, but then Angelica wanted the cat they had,

327
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:47.480
<v Speaker 1>and he said, you can't take a cat to live

328
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:50.680
<v Speaker 1>in a tent, and she insisted to the point of

329
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:55.119
<v Speaker 1>lagging down in the driveway and refusing to let him

330
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:59.039
<v Speaker 1>leave her to work until he agreed to let her

331
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:01.960
<v Speaker 1>have the cat. So she took the cat. That didn't

332
00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:05.359
<v Speaker 1>last long either. She ended up bringing the cat back because, yeah,

333
00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:08.079
<v Speaker 1>living in the tents not a good place to try

334
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:14.920
<v Speaker 1>to deal with a cat. So then after him, I mean,

335
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:18.279
<v Speaker 1>I never could figure out exactly when he faded out

336
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.519
<v Speaker 1>out of the scene, but she went to take photographs

337
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:28.839
<v Speaker 1>at a fundraiser event that Vince was tending to and

338
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:32.559
<v Speaker 1>that's where they met, and the two of them kind

339
00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:34.920
<v Speaker 1>of hit it off. He had a good job, so

340
00:24:35.079 --> 00:24:39.480
<v Speaker 1>that was very promising to her, and she thought she

341
00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:43.160
<v Speaker 1>had somebody else who might take care of her. And

342
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:48.359
<v Speaker 1>Vince was smitten with this exotic, perky woman who spoke

343
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:53.759
<v Speaker 1>with an adorable accent, and before you knew it, he

344
00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:56.680
<v Speaker 1>had gotten an apartment that she could move into with him.

345
00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:02.200
<v Speaker 1>And his friends were shocked because it wasn't that long

346
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:06.799
<v Speaker 1>that his second marriage ended, and they thought that he

347
00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:09.200
<v Speaker 1>was going to stay sinkle for a while time that's

348
00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:11.599
<v Speaker 1>what he said he was going to do. He just

349
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:14.319
<v Speaker 1>wasn't going to have settled down for a while. But

350
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:19.559
<v Speaker 1>Derry was settling down and before long he was proposing

351
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:24.240
<v Speaker 1>to Angelika and they were going to get married. And

352
00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:28.160
<v Speaker 1>what really shocked some of his friends was when he

353
00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:32.359
<v Speaker 1>said I want to have a child with her, because

354
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:35.160
<v Speaker 1>they knew that was something he'd always said he didn't

355
00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:38.680
<v Speaker 1>want to do, so they said he must really be

356
00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:39.119
<v Speaker 1>in love.

357
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:45.519
<v Speaker 4>There was also another thing that would be disturbing later well,

358
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:49.400
<v Speaker 4>one people found out, but there was according to Vincent,

359
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:52.720
<v Speaker 4>a reason for it, even though they weren't married. He

360
00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:56.079
<v Speaker 4>decided to put her and name her as a beneficiary

361
00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:59.839
<v Speaker 4>on those insurance policies and put her on hisself.

362
00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:05.599
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, and he at his work. When you're not

363
00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:09.799
<v Speaker 1>married and you want to get a living partner put

364
00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:14.640
<v Speaker 1>on your medical insurance, you have to do a certain

365
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:19.000
<v Speaker 1>number of things to prove the commitment of the relationship,

366
00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:21.759
<v Speaker 1>and one of them was to put her on his

367
00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:26.839
<v Speaker 1>life insurance policy. And he did that because he it

368
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:29.880
<v Speaker 1>bothered him that she didn't have any healthcare coverage and

369
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:34.319
<v Speaker 1>he wanted her to, so that's what he did. And

370
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:40.799
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, it's kind of eerie. It's it's almost

371
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:44.279
<v Speaker 1>like said, Okay, if you get somebody on your life

372
00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:47.920
<v Speaker 1>insurance policy, don't let them know about it. You know.

373
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:54.559
<v Speaker 1>It's like like a little red flag. Because that is

374
00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:58.119
<v Speaker 1>believed was part of her motivation for wanting Vince gone.

375
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:07.640
<v Speaker 1>What was She also complained about what go ahead?

376
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:07.880
<v Speaker 4>Sorry.

377
00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:13.480
<v Speaker 1>She also complained about the fact that she went to

378
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:17.839
<v Speaker 1>strip clubs. And the fact of the matter was there

379
00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:21.359
<v Speaker 1>were others who knew that she had gone to strip

380
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:25.039
<v Speaker 1>clubs with girlfriends before, so it's not like that was

381
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:28.359
<v Speaker 1>something that was alien to her, although she tried to

382
00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:31.599
<v Speaker 1>make it sound like it was. And then she talked

383
00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:37.240
<v Speaker 1>about threesomes, well, there was never any real clear message

384
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:41.599
<v Speaker 1>from her that the threesomes actually happened, So that leaves

385
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:46.079
<v Speaker 1>a big question. Were threesomes just a fantasy thing for

386
00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Evince that he liked to talk about because it didn't

387
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:53.920
<v Speaker 1>seem like they ever actually went through it. And it's

388
00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:57.839
<v Speaker 1>so just having a fantasy is not like you're doing

389
00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:02.079
<v Speaker 1>anybody wrong. So, you know, a lot of what she

390
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:09.559
<v Speaker 1>said didn't make particular sense, as the attack shoes making

391
00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:10.839
<v Speaker 1>on gyms.

<v Speaker 1>eighteen plus.

417
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:21.880
<v Speaker 4>As you're written in the book, Vince has a sort

418
00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:26.079
<v Speaker 4>of or bumpy past or or we'll say a history

419
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:29.599
<v Speaker 4>that's not without incident. We'll say, tell us a little

420
00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:34.880
<v Speaker 4>bit about Vincent's past and the characteristics of that. But overall,

421
00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:38.119
<v Speaker 4>what is the impression from family and friends of Vincent.

422
00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Jenson was a really, really nice guy. One of his

423
00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:49.039
<v Speaker 1>problems was that he was generous to a fault. He

424
00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:51.880
<v Speaker 1>would give people stuff, He.

425
00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:56.039
<v Speaker 3>Would buy drinks for people at bars, he would.

426
00:29:55.839 --> 00:30:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Let him borrow his car. He he was a bit

427
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:04.799
<v Speaker 1>of a spendthrift, but a lot of it was for others,

428
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:08.920
<v Speaker 1>not for himself, and he didn't get into financial trouble

429
00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:11.240
<v Speaker 1>and have to file for bankruptcy.

430
00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:13.359
<v Speaker 3>Because of the.

431
00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:17.279
<v Speaker 1>Way he did not watch his money very well. So

432
00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:23.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, that was problematic. But it seems like he

433
00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:28.480
<v Speaker 1>learned his lesson because in early April twenty fifteen, he

434
00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:37.400
<v Speaker 1>gave Angelica an ultimatum. Angelica had planned this wedding where

435
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:40.720
<v Speaker 1>they would go over to Latvia, Mary on the beach

436
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:44.039
<v Speaker 1>there with their family around, and then they would come

437
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:47.599
<v Speaker 1>back to the United States and have a big party

438
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:51.759
<v Speaker 1>in a boat on the Hudson River, celebrating their marriage.

439
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:55.759
<v Speaker 1>And so that's an expensive proposition.

440
00:30:57.279 --> 00:31:01.160
<v Speaker 7>And Angelika hadn't been working for for a long time now,

441
00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:05.720
<v Speaker 7>and since said you've got to get a job, you've

442
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:10.119
<v Speaker 7>got to work, and the marriage is off.

443
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:14.319
<v Speaker 1>He didn't want to get into all that deet again.

444
00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:16.079
<v Speaker 1>He didn't want to go down that road.

445
00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:19.599
<v Speaker 7>But Angelinka was a little bit resentful.

446
00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Of the fact that he expected her to work.

447
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:28.640
<v Speaker 4>Let's use this as an opportunity, Diane, just to stop

448
00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:30.880

483
00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:11.159
<v Speaker 4>we were talking about Vincent and the situation that had changed,

484
00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:13.880
<v Speaker 4>where she believed Angelica believe that she was going to

485
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:18.199
<v Speaker 4>get married. Now they go on this trip and now

486
00:34:18.280 --> 00:34:23.800
<v Speaker 4>the police, the quarto is questioning her. Let's get back

487
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:30.880
<v Speaker 4>to this masterful attempt to try to get this woman

488
00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:34.719
<v Speaker 4>to come and tell the truth about what really happened

489
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:39.320
<v Speaker 4>that day in April twenty fifteen. What happens next in

490
00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:41.400
<v Speaker 4>this incredible search and case.

491
00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:48.119
<v Speaker 1>Well, it was Saturday, and the police went out to

492
00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:54.599
<v Speaker 1>the island and they were searching around the island, going

493
00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:57.800
<v Speaker 1>around the edges, making sure the body hadn't ended up

494
00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:01.440
<v Speaker 1>there on the island and getting a feel for the place.

495
00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:04.800
<v Speaker 1>And Jelika also came there that day and she brought

496
00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:07.920
<v Speaker 1>a wreath to put on the water in Vince's memory.

497
00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:13.079
<v Speaker 1>When she arrived, the police were talking to her and

498
00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:16.960
<v Speaker 1>all there were three of them, there three investigators and

499
00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:19.960
<v Speaker 1>they were all talking to her. And then a little

500
00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:24.400
<v Speaker 1>ways into it, it became clear that she was getting

501
00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:29.239
<v Speaker 1>uncomfortable because some of the information she wanted to talk

502
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:30.519
<v Speaker 1>about seemed.

503
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:31.039
<v Speaker 4>To be personal.

504
00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:34.000
<v Speaker 1>So they let her go off with the quarto to

505
00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:37.360
<v Speaker 1>talk to him alone. And he was her choice for

506
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:41.679
<v Speaker 1>the one to talk to alone, and she told him

507
00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:47.679
<v Speaker 1>that she had removed the plug from the kayak, that

508
00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:53.280
<v Speaker 1>she had taken the ring off his paddle which held

509
00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:58.719
<v Speaker 1>the two halves of it together, and that you know,

510
00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:01.679
<v Speaker 1>she was very unhappy with the relationship and wanted to

511
00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:07.079
<v Speaker 1>be free. Well to Quarto realized the significance of what

512
00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:09.639
<v Speaker 1>she was saying and wanted to take her back to

513
00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:12.159
<v Speaker 1>the barracks, and she agreed to go back there for

514
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:15.719
<v Speaker 1>further questioning. She went and told the other officers and

515
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:22.039
<v Speaker 1>they all got onto the boat, and Angelica didn't protest,

516
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:24.800
<v Speaker 1>She wasn't handcuffed nothing. She went right on the boat

517
00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:27.519
<v Speaker 1>with them, and as they pulled away from the dock,

518
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:31.079
<v Speaker 1>she laid back in the wind and shouted, I'm free.

519
00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm free, which was a kind of odd thing to say,

520
00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:44.320
<v Speaker 1>considering the circumstances. But she drove back to the police

521
00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:51.960
<v Speaker 1>barracks with the state investigators and went into an interrogation situation.

522
00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:56.519
<v Speaker 1>She was asked about her Miranda Wrights. The whole thing

523
00:36:56.599 --> 00:36:59.000
<v Speaker 1>was read to her. She signed them away and agreed

524
00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:04.559
<v Speaker 1>to talk to them, and she went on and on

525
00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:09.360
<v Speaker 1>about her relationship with Vince and how she felt he

526
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:12.159
<v Speaker 1>was too controlling and she wanted to be free, and

527
00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:17.320
<v Speaker 1>she wanted him to be gone, and it was just

528
00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:24.360
<v Speaker 1>stunning to the police. It was a confession that she

529
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:32.199
<v Speaker 1>had deliberately caused Vince's death. To her attorney later, it

530
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:37.599
<v Speaker 1>was not a confession, and he said when she asked

531
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:43.360
<v Speaker 1>who's Miranda, that meant she did not understand the Miranda warning.

532
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:48.800
<v Speaker 1>But actually, if you listened to it in context, she

533
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:54.199
<v Speaker 1>was merely asking a historical question, like why is it

534
00:37:54.360 --> 00:38:02.000
<v Speaker 1>named after Miranda? What does that mean? So the defense

535
00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:06.440
<v Speaker 1>was really clever in trying to make it look like

536
00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:12.639
<v Speaker 1>she had limited understanding of English. But she'd been working

537
00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:16.119
<v Speaker 1>in the public and you know, working as a waitress,

538
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:20.840
<v Speaker 1>working as a hostess, working as a bartender, and she

539
00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:24.119
<v Speaker 1>never had any communication problems with any of those people.

540
00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:28.880
<v Speaker 1>And besides that, she had gone to community college and

541
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:35.480
<v Speaker 1>graduated with honors in English, so obviously language proficiency wasn't

542
00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:42.800
<v Speaker 1>really a problem for her. And the whole thing was

543
00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:47.280
<v Speaker 1>portrayed by the defense attorney as an accident, but what

544
00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:52.360
<v Speaker 1>she said to the police did not make it sound

545
00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:56.519
<v Speaker 1>like an accident at all. It sounded like she very

546
00:38:56.639 --> 00:39:06.000
<v Speaker 1>opportunistically took advantage of a deteriorating weather situation and did

547
00:39:06.119 --> 00:39:11.400
<v Speaker 1>not come to the aid events. And she actually said

548
00:39:11.920 --> 00:39:15.119
<v Speaker 1>he's gone, he's dead, and I'm glad.

549
00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:21.440
<v Speaker 4>You have an incredible amount of exchanges in here amount

550
00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:27.920
<v Speaker 4>of exchanges between Decado and other interrogators when there and

551
00:39:28.199 --> 00:39:32.840
<v Speaker 4>then there's Sharkess and there's Dequado with different approaches, and

552
00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:37.320
<v Speaker 4>she responds to each of these detectors differently. But it's

553
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:41.480
<v Speaker 4>incredible the amount of time that is used utilized to

554
00:39:42.679 --> 00:39:45.559
<v Speaker 4>hammer home to try to get to the specifics because

555
00:39:45.559 --> 00:39:48.800
<v Speaker 4>it's circumstantial case a certain degree, to try to get

556
00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:52.159
<v Speaker 4>her to admit, like you say that, and you're right,

557
00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:55.440
<v Speaker 4>she's on. She says she wanted to be free, she

558
00:39:55.639 --> 00:39:58.400
<v Speaker 4>was tired of the demands that he gave upon her.

559
00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:03.480
<v Speaker 4>She eventu get her to agree admit that she was

560
00:40:03.960 --> 00:40:07.280
<v Speaker 4>mad that the engagement. She wanted to have children, she

561
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:09.360
<v Speaker 4>wanted to get married, and it looks like the marriage

562
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:13.280
<v Speaker 4>was not going to happen. So that's what the police

563
00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:17.239
<v Speaker 4>in that interrogation room, over a period of days, we're

564
00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:22.440
<v Speaker 4>trying to do till they believe in their minds that

565
00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:25.480
<v Speaker 4>securely they had enough information to be able to present

566
00:40:25.559 --> 00:40:29.880
<v Speaker 4>to the prosecutor. And that prosecutor finally filed charges for

567
00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:32.880
<v Speaker 4>second degree murder and for manslaughter.

568
00:40:33.400 --> 00:40:39.519
<v Speaker 1>Interestingly, yes, and I think it was in some states

569
00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:44.599
<v Speaker 1>you're allowed to include lesser charges in New York State

570
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:48.239
<v Speaker 1>is one of those. So that and that's for the

571
00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:54.639
<v Speaker 1>purpose if if the jury has difficulty seeing second.

572
00:40:54.400 --> 00:40:56.840
<v Speaker 3>Degree murder, there's a lesson charge you can.

573
00:40:56.800 --> 00:41:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Fall back on. But could you say the big legal

574
00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:06.519
<v Speaker 1>confrontation in this whole case was not a trial. It

575
00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:12.679
<v Speaker 1>was the hearing to determine whether or not her statements

576
00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:18.920
<v Speaker 1>to the police could be submitted as evidence in a trial.

577
00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:22.639
<v Speaker 1>And the sense was fighting against that tooth and nail,

578
00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:30.519
<v Speaker 1>and there were five days of testimony on that question,

579
00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:35.239
<v Speaker 1>and that was really the pivotal question if they went

580
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:40.679
<v Speaker 1>into a trial. I don't see how the prosecution could

581
00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:45.440
<v Speaker 1>have gone forward if they were denied admitting that tape

582
00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:51.400
<v Speaker 1>from the interrogation into the trial. So it was very

583
00:41:51.639 --> 00:41:55.760
<v Speaker 1>very important, and it was five very tense days of questioning.

584
00:41:56.960 --> 00:42:00.400
<v Speaker 1>In the end, the judge agreed that it could be

585
00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:07.920
<v Speaker 1>submitted at trial. And now you had a descent who

586
00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:12.800
<v Speaker 1>wasn't sure they would win, and you had a prosecution

587
00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:18.920
<v Speaker 1>who had a largely circumstantial case and a kind of

588
00:42:19.280 --> 00:42:25.679
<v Speaker 1>vague confession because both sides were not confident in the win.

589
00:42:26.880 --> 00:42:31.960
<v Speaker 1>It was then that plea bargaining bargaining started.

590
00:42:35.119 --> 00:42:38.239
<v Speaker 4>I would I would say that what I saw in this,

591
00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:41.360
<v Speaker 4>what I read in this as well as that he

592
00:42:41.480 --> 00:42:43.920
<v Speaker 4>didn't have a public defender, and at a very very

593
00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:47.800
<v Speaker 4>interesting lead. There was a question, and I guess to

594
00:42:48.440 --> 00:42:53.360
<v Speaker 4>shock our audience further in that that this insurance claim

595
00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:57.920
<v Speaker 4>under New York state law, if there were a murder

596
00:42:58.159 --> 00:43:02.920
<v Speaker 4>or a manslaughter, it wasn't clear cut that the person

597
00:43:03.320 --> 00:43:09.440
<v Speaker 4>like someone like Angelica would not be available those payout

598
00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:11.920
<v Speaker 4>in insurance would not be available to her. It's not

599
00:43:12.239 --> 00:43:16.360
<v Speaker 4>clear cut. And this, and this is an important issue

600
00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:22.000
<v Speaker 4>later when we find out that at one point Angelica

601
00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:26.119
<v Speaker 4>said that she would not be petitioning or trying to

602
00:43:26.199 --> 00:43:29.519
<v Speaker 4>get any of the proceeds from those insurance policies. But

603
00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:32.559
<v Speaker 4>that changed tell us about state law in terms of

604
00:43:33.039 --> 00:43:36.639
<v Speaker 4>whether it's even possible for someone like Angelica to collect

605
00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:39.320
<v Speaker 4>on those insurance policies despite conditions.

606
00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:43.559
<v Speaker 1>Well, it was real clear that you could not if

607
00:43:43.639 --> 00:43:53.159
<v Speaker 1>there was a seleny conviction. And so that became a

608
00:43:53.320 --> 00:43:57.719
<v Speaker 1>big concern to the attorney because the defense attorney had

609
00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:02.000
<v Speaker 1>a document from her where she signed over anything she

610
00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:05.840
<v Speaker 1>got from the insurance would automatically go to the defense attorney.

611
00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:10.039
<v Speaker 1>And he was saying that it was about a million

612
00:44:10.159 --> 00:44:10.880
<v Speaker 1>dollars is what.

613
00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:15.519
<v Speaker 3>Charges were accrued in presenting her case.

614
00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:22.480
<v Speaker 1>So the attorney, more than Angelinka had a vested.

615
00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Interest in that life insurance and so he very carefully.

616
00:44:28.159 --> 00:44:42.760
<v Speaker 4>Went to uh, pardon me sorry. You talk about his

617
00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:46.719
<v Speaker 4>his approach in this in terms of gaining that money,

618
00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:49.440
<v Speaker 4>and we and you as you're writing the book, what

619
00:44:49.639 --> 00:44:56.599
<v Speaker 4>we talk about is that Richard Portal and Jeffrey charge Shark,

620
00:44:57.559 --> 00:45:03.280
<v Speaker 4>the second attorney, it ended up that they were talking

621
00:45:03.320 --> 00:45:07.280
<v Speaker 4>about a plea bargain. They were talking about a plea

622
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:12.239
<v Speaker 4>bargain at this point when the family of Vincent Via

623
00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:15.480
<v Speaker 4>four and all the friends thought that there was going

624
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:19.400
<v Speaker 4>to be this finally, eventually, this going to be this

625
00:45:19.519 --> 00:45:22.760
<v Speaker 4>trial of this woman that they thought had admitted to

626
00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:26.679
<v Speaker 4>having something to do with everything to do with Vincent

627
00:45:26.920 --> 00:45:31.599
<v Speaker 4>viafore dying in those waters that day on the Hudson River.

628
00:45:34.199 --> 00:45:37.239
<v Speaker 4>Tell us a little bit more about this, how it

629
00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:40.039
<v Speaker 4>comes to be, other than the pressure from these very

630
00:45:40.159 --> 00:45:45.280
<v Speaker 4>very capable lawyers, why this had to end in a

631
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:47.920
<v Speaker 4>plea agreement, and what was that plea agreement.

632
00:45:50.039 --> 00:45:58.920
<v Speaker 1>The plea agreement was reached because there of the uncertainty

633
00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:06.320
<v Speaker 1>of a conviction. Prosecutors do not want to let someone

634
00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:11.039
<v Speaker 1>totally walk free, and with a jury that is always

635
00:46:11.079 --> 00:46:17.239
<v Speaker 1>a risk, and they were uncertain if they could get

636
00:46:18.360 --> 00:46:22.760
<v Speaker 1>a conviction on either the second degree murder or the manslaughter,

637
00:46:24.119 --> 00:46:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and because of that uncertainty, they worked with the defense

638
00:46:28.280 --> 00:46:32.760
<v Speaker 1>to have a plea agreement that would get her at

639
00:46:32.920 --> 00:46:37.920
<v Speaker 1>least some time in prison, and they came up with

640
00:46:39.599 --> 00:46:47.960
<v Speaker 1>a lesser homicide charge of negligence and negligent homicide. And unfortunately,

641
00:46:48.079 --> 00:46:52.199
<v Speaker 1>with that, it had never gone to court to see

642
00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:56.840
<v Speaker 1>if the laws that prevent someone from inheriting insurance money

643
00:46:57.639 --> 00:47:01.880
<v Speaker 1>would hold up in a charge to a lesser charged

644
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:06.519
<v Speaker 1>like that, and it was thought that it would, but

645
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:13.119
<v Speaker 1>that apparently was a mistaken thought because she ended up

646
00:47:14.519 --> 00:47:18.679
<v Speaker 1>benefiting indirectly from getting life insurance money and didn't go

647
00:47:18.800 --> 00:47:23.280
<v Speaker 1>to her attorney. But it did not all go to

648
00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the family. They got some of it, but so did Angelica.

649
00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:33.559
<v Speaker 4>I found it interesting, and again I hate to beat

650
00:47:33.639 --> 00:47:35.960
<v Speaker 4>up on attorneys because everybody will say, oh, they're just

651
00:47:36.039 --> 00:47:39.920
<v Speaker 4>doing their job, but this one was extraordinary and that

652
00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:44.360
<v Speaker 4>it at least was allowed for Angelica to make it

653
00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:47.920
<v Speaker 4>make people believe, including the family of Vincent's family, that

654
00:47:48.119 --> 00:47:51.360
<v Speaker 4>she wouldn't go after that money, and then conveniently that

655
00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:54.480
<v Speaker 4>we don't know, as you write, we don't know exactly

656
00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:57.280
<v Speaker 4>how much she received. But all of that money went

657
00:47:57.360 --> 00:47:59.840
<v Speaker 4>to the lawyers, and like you say, it was a

658
00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:02.960
<v Speaker 4>million dollars worth of defense. And what I read in

659
00:48:03.079 --> 00:48:08.159
<v Speaker 4>this as opposed to say a duty counsel representation in

660
00:48:08.280 --> 00:48:11.440
<v Speaker 4>this kind of case, regardless of how experienced that lawyer is,

661
00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:16.000
<v Speaker 4>that this lawyer for money, in effect for money, basically

662
00:48:17.599 --> 00:48:22.400
<v Speaker 4>accomplished something that I think the reader would find incredible

663
00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:26.280
<v Speaker 4>and unbelievable. There was no proof of a coerced confession.

664
00:48:26.360 --> 00:48:30.519
<v Speaker 4>There was no proof that she couldn't understand English. In fact,

665
00:48:30.599 --> 00:48:33.960
<v Speaker 4>she was very fluent in English. There was no proof that.

666
00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:38.159
<v Speaker 4>But these are the best charges that they could lay

667
00:48:38.199 --> 00:48:40.920
<v Speaker 4>on her, was his criminal negligence causing the death of

668
00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:45.519
<v Speaker 4>this person. But everybody in that court, from every impact

669
00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:48.920
<v Speaker 4>statement and even the statements from the judge, clearly this

670
00:48:49.079 --> 00:48:51.920
<v Speaker 4>woman was far more guilty than those charges.

671
00:48:53.840 --> 00:49:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and I think I sometimes I think defense attorneys

672
00:49:01.719 --> 00:49:06.239
<v Speaker 1>go too far. I do not have a problem with

673
00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:10.199
<v Speaker 1>them trying to convince people that there was a coerce confession,

674
00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:14.039
<v Speaker 1>because that's kind of a subjective kind of thing. But

675
00:49:14.639 --> 00:49:20.639
<v Speaker 1>he lied about her English, and you know he he

676
00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:25.639
<v Speaker 1>lied when he said at the at the at the

677
00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:29.360
<v Speaker 1>end of the plea bargain of the thing in the courtroom,

678
00:49:29.920 --> 00:49:35.679
<v Speaker 1>he said that Angelica has no intention of going for

679
00:49:36.079 --> 00:49:39.800
<v Speaker 1>that money. And I think that's just what he wanted

680
00:49:39.880 --> 00:49:43.559
<v Speaker 1>to say to set things up so everybody would be

681
00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:49.440
<v Speaker 1>comfortable with the deal. And it was later that they

682
00:49:49.880 --> 00:49:54.559
<v Speaker 1>they submitted the paperwork to go for that money, and

683
00:49:55.119 --> 00:49:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I think that was a little sleasy, to be honest. Yeah.

684
00:49:59.599 --> 00:50:02.440
<v Speaker 4>The other thing is that despite warnings and a gag

685
00:50:03.639 --> 00:50:11.079
<v Speaker 4>a gag order, both defense attorney and Angelica made public

686
00:50:11.280 --> 00:50:12.320
<v Speaker 4>media appearances.

687
00:50:12.960 --> 00:50:18.119
<v Speaker 1>Didn't they sit in Yes, And you know, the defense

688
00:50:18.119 --> 00:50:22.840
<v Speaker 1>sort the first time said oh, well, I'm sorry. I

689
00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:25.079
<v Speaker 1>mean the gag orders were on the attorneys, they weren't

690
00:50:25.079 --> 00:50:30.480
<v Speaker 1>specifically on Angelica. And so when she had a second

691
00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:37.719
<v Speaker 1>national appearance schedule to do an interview, but the the

692
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:42.440
<v Speaker 1>attorney wanted to be there like he had been for

693
00:50:42.519 --> 00:50:45.760
<v Speaker 1>the first one, but the judge said, no, you can't

694
00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:50.000
<v Speaker 1>be there. If she wants to make a statement to

695
00:50:50.159 --> 00:50:53.840
<v Speaker 1>the media. We can't take away her first amendment, right,

696
00:50:54.800 --> 00:50:57.119
<v Speaker 1>but you can't be there. We have a gag order.

697
00:50:57.719 --> 00:51:00.320
<v Speaker 1>But you know, he did violate once, and I think

698
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:03.320
<v Speaker 1>he would have continued to violate until the judge told

699
00:51:03.360 --> 00:51:03.639
<v Speaker 1>him no.

700
00:51:08.239 --> 00:51:14.239
<v Speaker 4>It's interesting to post conviction, what does she maintain again

701
00:51:14.519 --> 00:51:18.440
<v Speaker 4>in the media after this sentence, And again she was

702
00:51:18.480 --> 00:51:22.719
<v Speaker 4>looking at fifteen and then the families were hopeful fifteen

703
00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:26.719
<v Speaker 4>to life, fifteen to the rest of her life, and

704
00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:31.920
<v Speaker 4>this was the deal was unfortunately disappointingly fifteen months to

705
00:51:32.119 --> 00:51:32.800
<v Speaker 4>four years.

706
00:51:34.400 --> 00:51:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and she had also got credit for time served,

707
00:51:37.639 --> 00:51:42.920
<v Speaker 1>so it ended up that she only spent a couple

708
00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:47.719
<v Speaker 1>months in prison. And it was really unfair to the

709
00:51:47.800 --> 00:51:51.360
<v Speaker 1>memory of this. It was not justice for his family.

710
00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:57.280
<v Speaker 1>And she's going around and saying, oh, she loved him

711
00:51:57.400 --> 00:52:00.960
<v Speaker 1>and it was just an accident. You know. It's just

712
00:52:01.079 --> 00:52:07.599
<v Speaker 1>annoying after all the things she said to to try

713
00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:09.440
<v Speaker 1>to make him look bad and to try to make

714
00:52:09.519 --> 00:52:15.519
<v Speaker 1>her look good, and it is, you know, victim time,

715
00:52:15.719 --> 00:52:21.159
<v Speaker 1>and it angers me. None of us are perfect, but

716
00:52:21.320 --> 00:52:23.519
<v Speaker 1>none of us deserve to be trashed after we even

717
00:52:23.599 --> 00:52:27.960
<v Speaker 1>killed either. But she's protesting her love for him, and

718
00:52:28.320 --> 00:52:31.519
<v Speaker 1>it kind of reminds me of that song by Amy

719
00:52:31.679 --> 00:52:37.639
<v Speaker 1>V years back that says killing him doesn't make fuff

720
00:52:37.719 --> 00:52:38.079
<v Speaker 1>go away.

721
00:52:40.039 --> 00:52:44.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you're right. Also, again, it's not a quest for justice,

722
00:52:44.880 --> 00:52:47.960
<v Speaker 4>but people are looking for some kind of recourse from

723
00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:53.239
<v Speaker 4>the court's October twenty seventh, twenty seventeen, Vince's family files

724
00:52:53.280 --> 00:52:56.599
<v Speaker 4>a wrongful death suit against Angelica and the State Supreme

725
00:52:56.679 --> 00:53:02.960
<v Speaker 4>Court Dutchess County. As of now, what does the status

726
00:53:03.000 --> 00:53:03.159
<v Speaker 4>of that.

727
00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:09.559
<v Speaker 1>I think that it's all been wrapped up, and it

728
00:53:09.800 --> 00:53:16.400
<v Speaker 1>was wrapped up in some sort of agreement. Now insurance

729
00:53:16.440 --> 00:53:25.559
<v Speaker 1>money would be divided, and I think the family realized

730
00:53:25.559 --> 00:53:29.079
<v Speaker 1>who was kind of feudal because none of the insurance

731
00:53:29.159 --> 00:53:31.960
<v Speaker 1>money was ever going to go to Angelica anyway, so

732
00:53:32.199 --> 00:53:35.679
<v Speaker 1>she couldn't give it back. Yeah.

733
00:53:37.599 --> 00:53:44.119
<v Speaker 4>Yes, for this book, you as usual, and this is

734
00:53:44.199 --> 00:53:50.320
<v Speaker 4>the fourteenth or the fifteenth through crime book that you've written. Fifteenth, Yes, yes, fifteenth. Congratulations.

735
00:53:51.519 --> 00:53:54.079
<v Speaker 4>Who are the some of the people that you had

736
00:53:54.199 --> 00:53:57.280
<v Speaker 4>access to that I think I can answer this question,

737
00:53:57.320 --> 00:53:59.559
<v Speaker 4>but I'm asking you, what are the some of the people,

738
00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:03.280
<v Speaker 4>some of the characters that were essential that you had

739
00:54:03.320 --> 00:54:06.280
<v Speaker 4>access to to really be able to write this book.

740
00:54:07.639 --> 00:54:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Sean van Klauss, who was a lifelong friend of Vince,

741
00:54:11.920 --> 00:54:17.920
<v Speaker 1>was extremely helpful to me in giving me a lot

742
00:54:18.039 --> 00:54:21.960
<v Speaker 1>of information and a lot of just stories about Vince.

743
00:54:22.199 --> 00:54:27.119
<v Speaker 1>And another person who is very helpful was his mother,

744
00:54:28.119 --> 00:54:33.480
<v Speaker 1>and that I tell those two probably were the biggest

745
00:54:33.599 --> 00:54:38.960
<v Speaker 1>help of all in discovering exactly who Vince was. And

746
00:54:39.079 --> 00:54:41.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, he was really a good guy. And you know,

747
00:54:41.639 --> 00:54:46.039
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't perfect, but he was good to his friends.

748
00:54:46.079 --> 00:54:50.239
<v Speaker 1>He had so many friends, it was just unbelievable. From

749
00:54:50.360 --> 00:54:54.719
<v Speaker 1>elementary school on forward. Everywhere he went and he made friends.

750
00:54:55.480 --> 00:55:00.320
<v Speaker 1>He was crazy and irreverent, and he did funny dance

751
00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:03.119
<v Speaker 1>moves and he brightened everybody up, and he gave his

752
00:55:03.280 --> 00:55:05.800
<v Speaker 1>friends good advice. He'd sit down and talk to them

753
00:55:06.239 --> 00:55:11.079
<v Speaker 1>art to heart and try to help them, and he

754
00:55:11.639 --> 00:55:12.639
<v Speaker 1>just was a good guy.

755
00:55:17.039 --> 00:55:19.960
<v Speaker 4>What's interesting too, you talk about he's such a good

756
00:55:20.039 --> 00:55:25.679
<v Speaker 4>guy and in your book is really I think anybody

757
00:55:25.719 --> 00:55:28.079
<v Speaker 4>that involved with Vincent would be happy with the depiction

758
00:55:28.239 --> 00:55:32.480
<v Speaker 4>of him. But what's interesting and disturbing really is that

759
00:55:32.960 --> 00:55:37.920
<v Speaker 4>the media were able to attend this hearing and yet

760
00:55:38.039 --> 00:55:42.599
<v Speaker 4>you get a February twenty and eighteen, twenty twenty updated

761
00:55:42.719 --> 00:55:47.960
<v Speaker 4>show about Angelica's case and Richard Portel was interviewed the

762
00:55:48.039 --> 00:55:51.840
<v Speaker 4>defense attorney and he talked about the missing gun. So

763
00:55:51.920 --> 00:55:54.880
<v Speaker 4>again I don't need to harp on this, but oh,

764
00:55:55.000 --> 00:55:58.360
<v Speaker 4>that is interesting that after the fact he's still still

765
00:55:58.519 --> 00:56:02.280
<v Speaker 4>trying to cast doubt on his client's guilt, but using

766
00:56:02.400 --> 00:56:05.199
<v Speaker 4>such a I don't know, defenseless play.

767
00:56:06.760 --> 00:56:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's the gun. The answer is very simple. The

768
00:56:10.400 --> 00:56:13.800
<v Speaker 1>missing gun was still with his ex wife, and so

769
00:56:13.920 --> 00:56:17.599
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't really missing. It just wasn't in the house

770
00:56:17.679 --> 00:56:22.719
<v Speaker 1>to be shared with Angelsca. And you know he's saying that,

771
00:56:22.920 --> 00:56:27.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's why the police researching the aten. No,

772
00:56:27.880 --> 00:56:32.480
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't. They'd already established where that gun was before

773
00:56:32.599 --> 00:56:35.199
<v Speaker 1>they ever went out on the island. And I'll tell

774
00:56:35.239 --> 00:56:40.719
<v Speaker 1>you right now from talking to the investigators, and it's

775
00:56:40.920 --> 00:56:45.760
<v Speaker 1>really clear that if they had ever thought that a

776
00:56:45.880 --> 00:56:50.079
<v Speaker 1>gun had been used the death of Vents, they would

777
00:56:50.119 --> 00:56:54.440
<v Speaker 1>have been out to that island lickety split. They just

778
00:56:54.599 --> 00:56:59.679
<v Speaker 1>went back there basically grasping for straws that they could

779
00:56:59.719 --> 00:57:03.559
<v Speaker 1>find on that island that could answer the questions they had.

780
00:57:04.400 --> 00:57:07.400
<v Speaker 1>But if they thought a gun was involved, that would

781
00:57:07.400 --> 00:57:08.719
<v Speaker 1>have been the first place they went.

782
00:57:13.360 --> 00:57:20.199
<v Speaker 4>As a seemingly psychopathic as this person, Angelica is, it

783
00:57:20.360 --> 00:57:23.000
<v Speaker 4>is also interesting when you look at everything and the

784
00:57:23.199 --> 00:57:25.840
<v Speaker 4>end result that if she were to be a little

785
00:57:25.840 --> 00:57:29.639
<v Speaker 4>bit more careful, a little a little smarter about things,

786
00:57:30.679 --> 00:57:34.920
<v Speaker 4>we wouldn't know even the three quarters of the truth

787
00:57:35.000 --> 00:57:37.599
<v Speaker 4>that we know today, wouldn't we No.

788
00:57:37.880 --> 00:57:44.199
<v Speaker 1>In fact, Dan, if she had put up a semblance

789
00:57:44.480 --> 00:57:49.679
<v Speaker 1>of genuine grief and acted like it mattered to her

790
00:57:49.920 --> 00:57:52.920
<v Speaker 1>that when Dince was missing, that it mattered to her

791
00:57:53.000 --> 00:57:57.599
<v Speaker 1>when when she found out was dead. If she acted

792
00:57:57.840 --> 00:58:03.480
<v Speaker 1>just a little bit, no one would have ever thought

793
00:58:03.639 --> 00:58:06.719
<v Speaker 1>that there was a problem, that it was anything but

794
00:58:07.039 --> 00:58:12.119
<v Speaker 1>an accident. But it was her behavior and the things

795
00:58:12.239 --> 00:58:18.280
<v Speaker 1>she said to police that brought the eyes of justice

796
00:58:18.400 --> 00:58:22.599
<v Speaker 1>down upon her. She brought that on because she was

797
00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:26.599
<v Speaker 1>carrying the kilt. She knew she'd done wrong by him,

798
00:58:28.440 --> 00:58:30.480
<v Speaker 1>and she couldn't even take it.

799
00:58:33.119 --> 00:58:35.840
<v Speaker 4>It was interesting too, she got a photographer, because of

800
00:58:35.880 --> 00:58:38.480
<v Speaker 4>course she was interested in photography, and that's how she

801
00:58:38.599 --> 00:58:41.079
<v Speaker 4>met some of these people through some of her interests singing,

802
00:58:41.719 --> 00:58:50.519
<v Speaker 4>playing guitar, and so anyway, with this she was i saying.

803
00:58:50.599 --> 00:58:56.199
<v Speaker 4>She definitely was interested in the attention that she got,

804
00:58:56.440 --> 00:58:59.800
<v Speaker 4>and as a result, she said things and did things.

805
00:59:00.239 --> 00:59:04.320
<v Speaker 4>The cartwill in the backyard was one thing, but she

806
00:59:04.400 --> 00:59:07.400
<v Speaker 4>took another photo of a Cartwell, again, you say, cartwheels

807
00:59:07.440 --> 00:59:09.599
<v Speaker 4>are expressing some kind of joy and kind of the

808
00:59:09.599 --> 00:59:12.000
<v Speaker 4>opposite of what you should be feeling. But she also

809
00:59:12.119 --> 00:59:15.960
<v Speaker 4>posted a strange photo from this photographer of her paddling

810
00:59:16.039 --> 00:59:20.880
<v Speaker 4>at kayak with the Bannerman Island the crime scene in

811
00:59:21.000 --> 00:59:24.280
<v Speaker 4>the background. I thought that was one of the most

812
00:59:24.320 --> 00:59:25.320
<v Speaker 4>interesting visuals.

813
00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:31.239
<v Speaker 1>That is an eerie picture, you know, it just speaks

814
00:59:31.320 --> 00:59:34.760
<v Speaker 1>so much of the danger, and that she would put

815
00:59:34.840 --> 00:59:43.599
<v Speaker 1>that up at that time really was disturbing, and she

816
00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:48.679
<v Speaker 1>just you know, I don't understand a lot of what

817
00:59:48.840 --> 00:59:52.639
<v Speaker 1>she did. And to be honest, it's trying to understand

818
00:59:52.840 --> 00:59:55.639
<v Speaker 1>the motivation of a sociopaths.

819
00:59:55.679 --> 01:00:00.920
<v Speaker 8>Is difficult, trying to understand how someone and it can

820
01:00:01.639 --> 01:00:06.199
<v Speaker 8>be so consumed by narcissistic feelings.

821
01:00:06.280 --> 01:00:11.199
<v Speaker 1>It is hard to understand. So I guess it's good

822
01:00:11.280 --> 01:00:13.440
<v Speaker 1>that I don't understand it, or maybe that would say

823
01:00:13.480 --> 01:00:17.599
<v Speaker 1>something ugly about me, But it's still, you know, it's

824
01:00:17.679 --> 01:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>hard to wrap your mind around how a sociopath's mind works.

825
01:00:23.119 --> 01:00:31.559
<v Speaker 1>And it's very disturbing and very tragic. You know, Vince

826
01:00:31.880 --> 01:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>should still be around, he should still be with us,

827
01:00:35.480 --> 01:00:37.880
<v Speaker 1>He should still be given his mother a hug on

828
01:00:38.039 --> 01:00:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Mother's Day, and the fact that he isn't is just tragic.

829
01:00:44.639 --> 01:00:48.639
<v Speaker 4>Yes, well, we certainly do get a very vivid glimpse

830
01:00:49.039 --> 01:00:53.119
<v Speaker 4>into the into acial theopathic killer's mind. I want to

831
01:00:53.159 --> 01:00:55.119
<v Speaker 4>thank you very much Dan for coming on and talking

832

833
01:00:59.360 --> 01:01:02.719

834
01:01:02.760 --> 01:01:05.159
