New York woman charged with murder in missing fiance case | |
(about 1 month later) | |
A New York woman whose fiance has been missing since a kayaking trip 11 days ago has been charged with second-degree murder. | |
State police say inconsistencies in 35-year-old Angelica Graswald’s statements led to her arrest in the death of Vincent Viafore. The Orange County district attorney’s office announced the charges against the Poughkeepsie woman on Thursday. | |
Graswald originally told troopers she and the 46-year-old Viafore, also of Poughkeepsie, were kayaking 19 April when his boat capsized near the town of Cornwall-On-Hudson. Graswald called 911. She reported falling out of her own kayak and was later picked up by a boater. | |
Authorities believe Viafore did end up in the river, but his body hasn’t been found. They aren’t commenting on how he died or a motive. | |
Court officials weren’t available to say if she has a lawyer. |
