The Cooler That Wouldn't Sink: The Anne Marie Fahey Story
Anne Marie Fahey, a 30-year-old appointments secretary for Delaware's governor, vanished from Wilmington in June 1996 after having dinner with prominent attorney Thomas Capano. The investigation that followed became Delaware's first murder conviction ever secured without a body, a weapon, or a confirmed cause of death.This one starts at a dinner table in Philadelphia and ends with a fisherman patching bullet holes in a cooler he had no idea he'd fished off the Jersey coast. In between, there's a diary that changes tone completely over 2 years, a mistress who bought the murder weapon, a brother with a fishing boat, and a courtroom collapse that undid one of Delaware's most connected men in real time. This is a story about charm, control, and what happens when someone spends their whole life assuming they'll never get caught.
