Graswald
GOSHEN – Orange County Court Judge Robert Freehill set bail at
$3 million for Angelika Graswald, the 35-year-old Poughkeepsie woman charged
with murder in the death of her fiancé.
A prosecutor told the court she admitted to tampering with Vincent Viafore’s
kayak and waited some 20 minutes after his overturned vessel sank to call
911 before. The 46-year-old Viafore’s body has not been recovered
from the Hudson River where they were kayaking off New Windsor.
The assistant district attorney told the court Graswald said she felt
trapped and that she stood to collect on Viafore’s $250,000 life
insurance policy.
“It felt good to watch him die,” the ADA said Graswald said
when questioned.
Viafore and Graswald were in separate kayaks at around 7 p.m. on Sunday,
April 19. He was not wearing a life jacket.
