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 she had been having an affair. Well-respected, politically connected, married, and a father of four, Thomas denied knowing anything about her disappearance. But when his brother turned him in to investigators, his image was shattered. During the murder trial, he emerged as a sordid womanizer, a volitile man with a short fuse, and ultimately, as a brutal murderer who shot Anne Marie and recruited his brother to help dispose of the body.
