“Woman Who Sabotaged Fiancé’s Kayak Is Sentenced to Up to 4 Years” (nytimes) is interesting for the comments from experienced kayakers who say that unscrewing the drain plug couldn’t have been sufficient to kill the (life-insured) fiancé. On the one hand, this makes sense because Ms. Graswald could have made more money by going through with the marriage and collecting alimony or child support (see Angelika Graswald Life Insurance versus Child Support net present value calculation) and therefore the financial motive isn’t completely solid. But, on the other hand, a surfer/kayaker in California did and filmed the test (he sank).
That one guy with an action cam can end the speculation is one of the things that I love about the Internet.
What? This is crazy…
She was not a smart psychopath!
