Fatal Embrace: The Inside Story of the Thomas Capano/Anne Marie Fahey Murder Case | Cris Barrish
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
When Anne Marie Fahey, beautiful, ambitious secretary to the Governor of Delaware, disappeared in June of 1996, all eyes immediately turned to Thomas Capano, the high-powered attorney with whom Anne Marie had been having a clandestine love affair. Well-respected, politically connected, married, and a father of four, Thomas Capano denied knowing anything about Anne Marie's disappearance. But when his brother turned him in to investigators, Capano's image was shattered. During the murder trial, he emerged as a sordid womanizer, a volatile man with a short fuse, and ultimately, as a brutal murderer who shot Anne Marie and recruited her brother to help dispose of her body. Now acclaimed writer Peter Meyer and award-winning journalist Cris Barrish explore the astounding true story behind this sensational case...how a simple flirtation in the corridors of power turned into a very fatal attraction...how Capano stuffed Fahey's body in a plastic cooler, dumped it in the sea-- and what lurid final act would keep it from "ever "being found...how, in an explosive murder trial that galvanized the nation and pitted brother against brother, Capano became his own worst enemy-- and was convicted of cold-blooded murder... With eight pages of photos!

This was a very good read. White, rich men who tought they could get away with all kinds of criminal behaviour until one of them killed his mistress. He started manipulating everyone around him just to get away with it, while pretending he actually cared about other people.

Tineke I think he was just another sociopath. Who thought everyone was just there to fulfill his every desire. A thing to throw away when he didn't need them anymore. I say good riddance.
I cannot understand the rest of the people, his mother who shunned two sons in favour of this piece of shit, his other mistress for letting him use, abuse and manipulate her. His brothers who also let him manipulate them under the guise of 'being family'.

Tineke Who needs enemies when you got this piece of shit for a brother who will throw you under the bus if it serves him? 4y
KathyWheeler In the current climate, he‘d probably get away with it. 4y
