Kayaker’s Body Found Floating in Hudson River After ‘Accident’
New York Post ^ | May 24, 2015 | Shawn Cohen and Leonard Greene

The body of a man found floating in the Hudson River was positively identified Sunday as a missing kayaker believed to have been murdered by his fiancee, law enforcement sources said.

Officials had not determined what killed Vincent Viafore, who disappeared April 19 after his kayak turned over about 50 miles north of New York City during a boating trip with Angelika Graswald.

Graswald, 35, was arrested several days later and charged with second-degree murder charge after prosecutors said she admitted to tampering with Viafore’s kayak.

What a lame ass article. Has this not been posted before? Just removing the drain plug from a kayak would not kill the guy. He has to know how to swim.... There is more to this story than is presented with this sorry piece of reporting.

She is allegedly a hot-headed, volitile, mail order bride from eastern Europe.

Drain plug in a kayak? She must’ve done something else. Maybe rabbed his skeg and dumped him - might’ve bent it. Ain’t no drain plug in any kayak I’ve ever seen.

The DA in Orange county did’t delay in filing charges. There must be something.

She just wanted his insurance money. In most cases, mail order brides really don’t want anything else.

Aren’t they supposed to wait until they are married to kill the husband?

What killed him?
How about being smacked in the head by a paddle?

Most fishing kayaks have them.

Most kayak paddles are fiberglass: would not have been fatal.

Here's an image of the drain plug in a kayak. I've kayaked many times and did not realize there was one!

Not sure this is the same style as theirs....

Maybe his ankles were secured together with cinder blocks.

I guess we will have to wait for the autopsy results to see what the cause of death is. I have to agree that the drain plug on kayak missing seems pretty lame.

Most of the kayaks have foam flotation.

This action is well known in the South American countries. You become a mail-order bride; get to the USA; marry a citizen; murder the citizen and collect all his money.

Actually know of a case that was for real - woman from Columbia killed her husband believing she would inherit all the family fortune .. it turned out the sister of the victim was the Dual-Heir .. and the new wife got nothing.
