[Music] The Hudson River Valley is uh just outside of New York City. It's a beautiful
00:00:10
place. There's all sorts of activities to enjoy on the Hudson. It's a great place to
00:00:16
kayak, but the Hudson River needs to be respected. There's a number of very strong currents in the Hudson. The
00:00:22
Hudson can be dangerous. On April 19th, late in the afternoon, Angelica and Vince go kayaking on the
00:00:32
Hudson River. They were kayakers. They enjoyed the outdoors. They were outdoors enthusiasts.
00:00:38
You could tell that they were in love. You saw the glisten in their eyes. He couldn't keep his hands off of
00:00:45
her. He just loved her. [Music] April 19th was one of the first nice days. Milky skies, but otherwise nice. This
00:00:55
afternoon, I 66. So, they set out for what people call Banaman's Island. There's a castle on it that was
00:01:07
modeled after the castles in Scotland. Shortly after 700 p.m. When they went to return home, things
00:01:17
changed. Clouds will thicken tonight, though, and it's going to get windy later on.
00:01:23
It was rough. We know that the waves are 3 to 5 ft. Well, how high are you above the
00:01:28
water right now? Uh, maybe 4 in. So, if a twoft wave is coming across here, what's happening? The wave is going to
00:01:35
come and just come right into my lap and then over you'll go. Midway through their paddle back to
00:01:42
shore, Vince ran into trouble. His kayak capsized. He went into the water. He wasn't wearing a life vest. It was
00:01:53
cold. It was 46 degrees. It was windy. It was getting dark. It was dangerous place to be.
00:01:59
Shortly after going into the water, he instructed Angelica to call 911. Hi, I'm I'm in the Hudson River. My
00:02:08
fiance in the water. Can you please call anybody? I can't get to him. It's very windy and the waves are coming in and I
00:02:15
can't I can't paddle to him. He's getting further and further away from me. I I He's going to drown.
00:02:24
The body of Vincent V4 is yet to be located. The search for him remains ongoing.
00:02:32
On April 29th, the New York State Police, they interrogated her for over 11 hours.
00:02:39
Okay. You're lying to me and you're lying to yourself. And then they arrested her for the crime of murder in
00:02:44
the second degree. You killed Vinnie when you you took that plug out to kill him. The alleged motive
00:02:51
for the crime, two life insurance policies totaling a4 million and a souring relationship. The police theory
00:02:58
of this case is really outrageous. My name is Michael Archer. I'm a forensic scientist. I was retained to assist in
00:03:05
Angelica's defense. They say that she pulled a plug, a drain plug from the kayak and that caused the kayak to sink.
00:03:14
I took it out before. Yes. A long time ago because you wanted him to die. Yes. Do you believe that Angelica Grasswald
00:03:22
may have given a false confession? Yes. In that she admitted to a crime that was
00:03:29
probably nothing but an accident. I want to believe she didn't do it, but then again, the police know something that I
00:03:35
don't know. I wanted him dead and now he's gone. [Music]
