when a young woman vanished family and friends discovered her secret life the political appointee carried on an illicit affair with a wealthy married man investigators suspected that her ex-lover was responsible but they had little physical evidence to support their theory in order to bring him to justice the fbi would have to go undercover and turn brother against brother [Music] so [Music] power is a responsibility as well as a privilege but in the wrong hands power can corrupt this is especially true in the legal community for former deputy attorney general for the state of delaware losing sight of his sworn oath to uphold justice would prove lethal i'm jim calstrom former head of the fbi's new york office when a prominent attorney tried to put himself above the law it was up to the fbi to prove that justice is blind philadelphia pennsylvania thursday june 27 1996. at the upscale panorama restaurant prominent delaware attorney thomas capano separated from his wife dined with his mistress anne-marie faye the appointment secretary to the delaware governor back next week despite the candlelight and wine her mood was grim anne-marie told capano she wanted to end their relationship [Music] capano was furious with her decision [Music] after dinner capano drove anne marie to the wilmington delaware house he rented since leaving his wife he insisted she come inside to continue the conversation [Music] he didn't want their affair to end [Music] two nights later anne-marie failed to show up for a dinner party with her sister kathleen concerned kathleen arranged to meet the delaware state police at anne marie's flat she explained that no one had heard from the governor's secretary since thursday they found unpacked perishable groceries on the kitchen counter kathleen called michael scanlon a successful banker and anne-marie's close friend to see if he had seen her he was supposed to pick her up for the dinner party but anne-marie never returned his calls this is a character for her yes has everything always put in its place i just don't understand anne-marie's family knew her to be neat and orderly yet her apartment was in disarray shoes littered the bedroom floor alongside her purse an expensive pant suit remained in its gift box [Music] a detective searched the purse he found her wallet and id though her keys were missing detective robert donovan of the wilmington police was called to the scene and believed that anne-marie hadn't left the apartment on her own from the information that they're providing they said she's not the type of person to to to leave go walking around the neighborhood or to go somewhere without letting somebody know where she's at number one you know typical with a female when she goes somewhere she takes her pocketbook wallet identification something in the bedroom kathleen found a packet of letters from a man named thomas capano [Music] they professed his love for her kathleen and scanlan were perplexed and marie had never even mentioned capano though anne-marie's sister had never heard of the man detective donovan certainly had capano was a powerful man in the state of delaware tom capano was extremely connected um he was at one point he was number two man for the city of wilmington he was head legal counsel for the governor for the state he was very close with a number of state representatives state senators extremely close with some retired police chiefs for the city of wilmington very influential the detective found anne-marie's journal in the bedroom and flipped to the last page the diary entry evidenced her relief at ending her love affair with capano it read i have finally brought closure to tom capano what a controlling insecure maniac it doesn't look like a happy relationship though not at all [Music] the officers paid a visit to thomas capano at 3 39 a.m separated from his wife and the father of four daughters 47-year-old capano was living in a rented house located only minutes from anne-marie's apartment capano confirmed that he had a relationship with anne-marie but claimed that it was long over according to him the couple had parted his friends he told the detectives that he had dinner with her on thursday night in philadelphia afterwards he brought her back to his house briefly to give her a gift and some groceries she needed then he took her home when asked capano claimed he had not seen anne-marie since nor was he surprised that she was missing [Music] capano explained that anne-marie had friday off perhaps she had decided to go away for the weekend he described her as moody and at times suicidal he suggested the police wait until monday morning when she would probably show up at work we then asked him if she in fact was at his house you know and if he would have a problem with us looking through his house he stated that that he would have a problem because his children were with him for the weekend and they were upstairs asleep on monday however anne-marie failed to show up for work investigators returned to her apartment building and talk to her downstairs neighbor can you tell me something about what happened last night the neighbor had been away over the weekend but remembered hearing a single set of footsteps in anne-marie's apartment on thursday evening at around 9 45. they seemed heavier than usual possibly a man's she heard nothing more after that night state and local investigators checked anne marie's bank and credit card accounts and found no activity after june 28th friends and relatives reported they had not seen or heard from her since that day all right here apparently thomas kapana was the last person to have seen anne-marie fahey take him up to the panorama restaurant in philadelphia investigators traveled across the delaware border to pennsylvania to corroborate capano's story they spoke to the waitress who served the couple on june 27th at about 7pm she remembered the evening and recognized thomas capano and anne-marie fahey from the photos yeah that's her she wasn't really happy the waitress recalled that the pair seemed tense anne-marie said little and hardly touched her food after she handed the bill to caponno he passed it to anne-marie who signed his name on the charge slip the waitress never overheard any of their conversations since the couple stopped talking each time she approached the [Music] table investigators met with several of anne marie's close friends who described an illicit affair that had begun almost three years earlier in 1993 27 year old anne marie fahey met thomas capano in the governor's office tom capana despite her high-profile job she was impressed by the powerful lawyer and flattered when she caught his eye [Music] investigators learned that while capanos showered anne-marie with expensive gifts he only romanced her in out-of-the-way places to avoid being seen she felt a strong attraction to the charismatic older man but feared her family's disapproval and kept the affairs as months passed anne-marie confided to her friends that capano's charming exterior belied an angry and manipulative man he understood love only in terms of control she told her friends that she couldn't trust him by the spring of 1996 his manipulation and anger had damaged their relationship beyond repair capano told anne-marie that he had separated from his wife so they could stop i don't even hiding to talk to you about this anne-marie wanted out capano refused to let go [Music] detectives learned that shortly before anne-marie disappeared she began seeing michael scanlan who she found caring and stable [Music] it was the relationship that she had always hoped for the prospect of a marriage proposal seemed promising thomas capano continued to pursue her anne-marie told friends that capano was stalking her she was scared and wanted him out of her life capano refused to accept the rejection tom capano had never been told no before he thought that he could control everything in his life and everything and everybody else's life um finally somebody anne marie faye stood up to him and told him no i've had enough and tom couldn't handle it the fahey family posted a ten thousand dollar reward for information relating to anne-marie's disappearance over the fourth of july weekend hundreds of concerned citizens helped police conduct a massive search of the local park where anne marie often jogged the governor himself joined in the hunt thank you for everybody who knows and loves ann marie they found no trace of the missing secretary the case became a federal investigation since anne marie a resident of delaware was last seen in pennsylvania special agent eric alpert of the fbi's wilmington field office offered his help i contacted robert donovan asked him if we could be of any assistance he said we could at that point we pulled telephone records and credit card records with the help of the u.s attorney alpert secured credit card statements and phone records belonging to thomas capano and anne-marie faye assistant u.s attorney calm connolly noticed that capano made a 308 dollar purchase at wallpaper warehouse just two days after fahey disappeared thought that was odd because tom capana was living in a rental house so i called the number for wallpaper warehouse the person answered the phone and said air based carpets i turned to bob donovan right away and we both had the same reaction which was my god he must have rolled her up in a carpet investigators now believe that thomas capano killed anne-marie fahey but they needed more than a hunch to convince a judge there was probable cause for a warrant to search capano's house in july of 1996 agents and local detectives focused on attorney thomas capano who they suspected was responsible for the murder of his former mistress anne-marie fahey two days after she vanished capano had purchased a new carpet for assistant u.s attorney calm connolly it raised suspicions that capano had concealed anne-marie's body in a rug and removed it from his house up until that point we had probable cause to believe that tom capano had played a role in the disappearance of anne marie fahey but what we didn't have was probable cause that we'd find evidence in his house hoping to establish probable cause in order to obtain a search warrant investigators learned that capano's housekeeper had cleaned his home four days before anne-marie's disappearance she added that capano canceled her service the following week claiming that the house didn't need cleaning since his children hadn't stayed over the detective quickly noted the inconsistency in capano's story on the night he was questioned in his home the attorney claimed his children were upstairs asleep three weeks later the housekeeper returned to the residence and noticed something that struck her as odd the love seat and carpet from the living room were gone in their place sat two chairs and a brand new carpet [Music] this simple observation gave assistant u.s attorney colin connelly all he needed to move forward so when you combine the rug and the couch with tom capano's statement that he had brought ann marie to his home on the evening of june 27th and you combine that with all the other evidence we knew about their tumultuous relationship we now were armed with probable cause to get a search warrant for his house connolly and fbi agent eric alford prepared an airtight 37-page search warrant for thomas capano's wilmington home serving it on july 31 1996. detective robert donovan didn't know what they'd find but they knew where to look we searched the entire residence but we took special attention to this room the great room area because we believe that anne-marie fahey was murdered in that room the team found the two chairs and new carpet described by the housekeeper [Music] the floor was clean on the baseboard nearby agents found something promising barely visible to the untrained eye they saw two brown spots that appeared to be dried blood agents retrieved samples by swabbing the area with a mild saline solution investigators hope the fbi lab in washington dc could provide stronger forensic evidence from the samples for dna lab examiner alan giusti testing the recovered material presented a challenge the items themselves were not very large the stains were actually fairly small and because of that we have to be careful because our test will consume part of a stain to test determine if it's blood juicy performed a castle meyer test [Music] this test requires only a pinhead size specimen he applied the chemical phenolphthalein which turns pink when mixed with blood [Music] the test worked for agent eric alpert and the team the discovery was important this is very significant it has because at this point we had no murder weapon and had no other physical evidence in the case so finding blood was very important to us we needed to find whose blood that was and whether it matched emory fahey's blood it was impossible to determine whether the blood belonged to anne-marie without dna samples from her or her parents samples from her siblings would be too disparate to provide solid results unfortunately anne-marie's parents were deceased [Music] anne-marie's brothers and sisters provided investigators with a possible lead a check of the missing woman's calendar book revealed that she had given blood a month before she disappeared agents went to the blood bank to subpoena the sample it was too late her blood had been reduced to plasma and shipped overseas there was only a slim chance it could be retrieved worse yet dna rich red and white blood cells had been removed and extracting dna from plasma alone is next to impossible [Music] as the investigation slowly moved forward thomas capano continued to live a life of ease as the eldest of four brothers he had always been his parents favorite and the son who had achieved success in all he sought thomas's brothers had always looked up to him jerry the youngest had been rescued many times by his older brother's legal expertise joseph ran the family construction company while lewis managed the family's considerable real estate holdings the capanos were multi-millionaires and seemed impenetrable investigators learned early on that thomas capano's family and friends were unlikely to cooperate we spoke with an awful lot of people awful lot of people that are very influential that just would not believe that tom capana was capable of murder and and were mad at us for investigating we're mad that we believed he was in fact a murderer that that was uh frustrating because it was tough to get anybody that was cooperative [Music] the team believed that if capano killed anne-marie someone close to him probably helped dispose of the body but no one was talking with no body no dna sample no murder weapon and no cooperation from his cohorts the federal case against thomas capano was weak on august 6th agent alpert received a call from sean taylor a project manager in louis capano's development company taylor knew something he believed might interest investigators he agreed to meet agents and detectives in a secure location fearing what would happen to him if the capano brothers found out he was talking to authorities he described an unusual event that occurred the day after anne-marie was reported missing he advised us he was a project manager at one of the lewisgapano associates construction sites he stated that he was ordered on uh july first the monday after henry fahey's disappearance to have four dumpsters on the property pulled and dumped and he felt that was strange because none of them were full and it would be very out of character to do that because of the cost of dumping something like that this reinforced the investigator's suspicion that thomas capano had help disposing of anne marie's body two weeks ago luis capanos development company was served with a subpoena for the dumpster records as investigators began to turn up the heat on the powerful capano family lewis i need to talk to you here go ahead and take these bob they hoped one of the brothers would turn against you and tell authorities about anne-marie's disappearance your screw-ups are driving me crazy the solid bonds between brothers began to strength thomas managed to keep everyone in line undaunted investigators continue to pursue their best lead so we traced that dumpster we went to the hauling company and we found out exactly when the dumpster had been removed we found out the dump that it had been brought to and we went to that dump site in the middle of august an evidence recovery team arrived at the delaware landfill workers pointed out the area where the dumpsters had been the emptied team searched for anything that could be traced back to thomas capano's home we were looking for the carpeting the love seat possibly a murder weapon and also possibly anne marie fahey's body for four hot grueling days fbi agents scoured the landfills they found nothing the investigators finally walked away tired and frustrated despite their strong suspicions they didn't have enough evidence to bring charges to agents detectives and prosecutors it looked as if thomas capano had gotten away with the perfect murder in august 1996 fbi agents and delaware authorities continued to pursue evidence against thomas capano for the murder of his former mistress anne-marie fahey she had been missing for eight weeks and was presumed murdered by her wealthy ex-lover as fbi agent eric alpert explains investigators had no physical evidence to support their theory there were several challenges in this investigation we had no murder weapon no true crime scene no nobody and no witnesses who would come forward and give us information as to what had happened on september 6th investigators received the call they were hoping for the blood plasma anne-marie had donated a month before her disappearance had been recovered just before it reached its european destination agents needed a known sample of anne-marie's dna to compare to the unknown sample from the blood spots found in capano's house but dna lab examiner alan giusti didn't know if the plasma would be sufficient the problem with extracting dna from plasma is that plasma is the portion of blood that is separated from the blood cells and the blood cells are what contain the dna so when you're working with plasma you're actually working with a very poor source of dna to his surprise he found residual red blood cells in the plasma this enabled giusti to retrieve a small amount of anne marie's dna he compared her dna sequence to the sequence from the unknown source [Music] they matched there was only a minute chance that the blood spots from capano's house did not belong to anne-marie fahey investigators now had the first piece of physical evidence they needed to support their suspicion that thomas capano had committed murder they knew they needed more capano's cell phone records revealed that he had called a woman named debbie mcintyre from stone harbor new jersey on june 28th the morning after anne marie disappeared investigators learned that debbie mcintyre was yet another one of capano's mistresses we saw that they called each other frequently but we weren't sure about the relationship uh from doing further interviews we found that thomas capano and debbie mcintyre had been having an affair for approximately 12 years so at the same time when he was having an affair with anne marie faye he was also having an affair with debbie mcintyre agents also learned that jerry capano the youngest brother had owned a boat anchored in stone harbor detective robert donovan investigated we found out that jerry capano had sold this boat locally somebody locally purchased it we were able to track that down and spoke with a gentleman and look looked at his boot they scoured the boat for traces of anne-marie but found nothing the new boat owner told investigators that jerry capano had sold the boat without anchors they suspected that the anchors were now at the bottom of the ocean wrapped around anne-marie's body assistant u.s attorney calm connolly and his team turned their attention to jerry capano and so beginning back in november of 96 we put in place this undercover operation with the idea that we would gather incriminating evidence of jerry's activities and any other information we could gain about his role on june 28th in disposing of the body [Music] if agents gathered enough evidence to bring federal charges against jerry they could pressure him to talk about his brother's role in the murder for 11 months undercover agents tracked jerry's every move they learned that he frequented bars and nightclubs and used illegal drugs they also learned that he collected firearms a federal crime for a known drug user on the evening of october 9th 1997 15 months after the disappearance of anne-marie faye the fbi assisted by the atf raided jerry capanos house [Music] he was caught completely by surprise a friend with a criminal record stood with him in the garage if agents found illegal narcotics stored in the same house as jerry's weapons they'd have the physical evidence needed to leverage his cooperation they found a small arsenal of guns stored in the bedroom closet of jerry's three-year-old son agent alpert searched the laundry room near the kitchen [Music] he dug through the pockets of jerry's clothes jerry's collection of rifles and handguns wasn't illegal per se unless they found illicit drugs on the premises agent albert found them he recovered cocaine and marijuana [Music] now investigators had what they needed to charge jerry capana with felony firearms violations they could also levy child endangerment charges they didn't either prosecutors would offer immunity if jerry would testify against his brother thomas we did not believe jerry had any role in the murder of anne marie fahey we only believed he had a role in the cover-up the disposal of evidence and we also knew he was very loyal to his brother he almost viewed his brother as a father figure but at the same time he had a wife he had children he had a pretty good life a life that he probably wouldn't want to give up to go to jail and that was the card that we had to play after the raid the fbi allowed jerry capano to consider all that was at stake we need to talk now he was forced to choose between his brother and his wife and children the pressure upon jerry capana was enormous not only was he one of thomas capano's closest allies he was his brother investigators weren't certain if jerry would crack even if he did they had no way of knowing if he could help them bring the powerful thomas capano to justice a year and a half after the disappearance of anne-marie faye jerry capano asked to see the fbi and u.s attorney calm calmly on november 8 1997. federal authorities had threatened jerry capana with federal firearm charges if he did not cooperate with their investigation they suspected jerry had helped his brother thomas capano dispose of anne-marie's body in the atlantic ocean with legal counsel by his side jerry related his involvement in the incident it began months before anne-marie's june 28 disappearance [Music] early in 1996 his brother thomas came to him with a problem [Music] jerry told agent eric alpert that he didn't realize thomas had lied to him well in february 1996 thomas capano went to his brother jerry and told him that he was being extorted that somebody was threatening his children uh he asked jerry to get him some cash to help pay the extortions he also asked jerry for a gun and said that he might need jerry's help someday with the boat to uh dispose of of the extortionist's body jerry provided thomas with eight thousand dollars and the gun he asked for thomas returned the weapon a month later telling jerry the money was enough he didn't need the gun after all he heard little else about thomas's problem until friday june 29th 1996. i got a call from tom [Music] early in the morning jerry stepped out of his house to find his older brother parked at the end of the driveway thomas looked upset six o'clock in the morning tom what are you doing here gary i need your help i need you to get the boat i don't want to be part of it jerry knew as soon as tom asked to use the boat that tom had been involved in the killing of somebody and jerry said to tom did you do it and his brother said yes and jerry said he didn't want to have any part in getting rid of a body and he refused to give up the boat he said he had a wife he had kids he had a beautiful home and tom played the brother card tom said i have nobody else to turn to you're my kid brother uh please help me okay [Music] and finally jerry relented and jerry agreed to meet tom and to go to stone harbor and to take the boat out and dispose of the body behind closed doors they met inside thomas's garage where he asked jerry to help him load a heavy cooler into his truck he never opened the cooler but jerry believed the body of thomas's extortionist was stuffed inside only the [Music] jerry told his brother not to take it on the boat because it probably wouldn't sink [Music] when they arrived at stone harbor new jersey they carried the cooler down the dock in plain sight [Music] it was a common cooler used by fishermen at the marina large enough to carry an ample supply of bait no one would think twice about two men loading the heavy container onto a boat [Music] the brothers fueled up and headed for the open waters of the atlantic thomas capano ordered his brother to motor 60 miles offshore where the water was deep enough to hide the body permanently no one else would be close enough to see what the brothers were about to do they heat the cooler into the sea but thomas capano miscalculated [Music] the makeshift coffin floated thomas then ordered jerry to sink the cooler by firing slugs into it [Music] the cooler still floated the millionaire lawyer retrieved it and decided to sink the corpse without the cooler his younger brother wanted no part of it he moved to the front of the boat while thomas wrapped the boat's anchors around the body what jerry capano saw next was critical for detective robert donovan jerry turns around when he is tom are you done are you done tom tells me i'm done as jerry turns around to look at tom he sees a calf and a foot sinking down [Music] on their way back to stone harbor thomas capano disassembled the cooler and scattered its parts into the ocean and tom said he needed me to come back to the house that he had something else that i needed to do with him the work wasn't finished [Music] his brother needed to dispose of more evidence tom says i need your help getting rid of this couch and jerry sees a stain on the couch which would be right about shoulder height which is a large he described as a basketball size uh blood stuff investigators believe the stain was caused by a fatal gunshot to anne-marie's head they dumped the couch in the carpet into a trash bin at a construction site managed by their brother lewis jerry had nothing more to add [Music] when word got out that jerry had cooperated with investigators his brother lewis appeared with his lawyer two days later louis capana recanted his earlier statement and admitted that he had obeyed thomas's orders to empty the dumpsters earlier than scheduled the fbi began 24-hour surveillance on thomas capano they believe the suspected murderer might try to kill his brothers to keep them from testifying [Music] less than a week later on november 12 1997 the surveillance team watched capano and his brother joseph loading suitcases into their truck they were heading towards the airport agent albert feared thomas was fleeing jurisdiction at that point i paged colin conley the assistant united states attorney who was inside the grand jury room with a 911 page to come out i told him of the details and said we need to make a decision on what we're going to do investigators felt they still didn't have enough to charge thomas capano with kidnapping and murder but agreed they had to stop him from fleeing alfred ordered his arrest on grounds that capano had obstructed justice by coercing his brothers to give false testimony seventeen months after her disappearance the suspected killer of anne-marie faye was finally in custody two brothers now stood against one but investigators still had no body and no murder weapon on november 12 1997 the fbi arrested prominent delaware lawyer thomas capano he was the prime suspect for the murder of anne marie fahey his younger brother jerry claimed thomas had dumped a corpse into the atlantic ocean jerry pointed investigators to the area off the new jersey shore but they never found anne-marie's body assistant u.s attorney calm connolly had a daunting task ahead of him we didn't have a body and that's always a problem there have only been a handful of prosecutions in the country that have been successfully done without a body and in delaware prior to this case there would only be one case prosecuted without a body and it had resulted in an acquittal the only physical evidence they had against thomas capano were two specks of feiji's blood found in his living room while investigators prepared the difficult prosecution special agent eric alpert learned something that could strengthen their case we received a phone call from an individual who said that he had found the cooler floating in the ocean around the weekend of july 4th 1996 and i asked him to further describe the cooler and he said that the cooler was missing a lid and had a bullet hole in it the lead sounded promising the caller read an article about capano's arrest that reported a cooler was used in the crime but the story never mentioned that the lid was missing or that a slug had pierced it alpert immediately drove the two hours to bay city new jersey to check the lead on the weekend of july 4th 1996 ken chubb was fishing six miles off indian river when he came across a cooler bobbing in the ocean i had two bullet holes and uh bloodstained but you know we we were amazed that this was a brand new cooler but we weren't amazed at the bullet holes or the blood because they shoot shark a lot and there might have been a shark flopping around in there and they shot it and that's where the blood came from chubb patched the holes replaced the lid and used it as his own until the capano arrest story broke agents discovered the barcode on the cooler matched the one capano purchased with his credit card on april 22nd two months before anne-marie disappeared the coup was important in this case because it prevented tom capano's defense team pretty much from saying that jerry capano was lying it corroborated exactly what jerry capano had told us well before he knew we would ever find this cooler the cooler was their second piece of physical evidence and its purchase demonstrated capano's premeditation investigators still had no murder weapon they searched records at local gun stores for purchases by kapano or by others close to him they hit pay dirt investigators discovered that capanos mistress debbie mcintyre had purchased a 22-caliber beretta on may 13 1996 six weeks before fede disappeared they brought mcintyre in for questioning she pretended that her relationship with thomas capano was more casual than it actually was [Music] mcintyre denied it no i asked her do you own a gun and immediately her demeanor changed she started blushing she got very nervous it was clear that she was lying and she told us this just fantastical story about buying a gun and then throwing it in the garbage can and we asked her did anybody know she had ever bought that she had bought that gun and she said one person and it was tom capana connolly pointed out that if mcintyre supplied the gun to capano she had committed a felony [Music] under the advice of her attorney mcintyre admitted that capano had asked her to buy the gun in the first place the trial began on october 26 1998. early on in the proceedings capano surprised the prosecution by admitting that he had disposed of feyey's body as jerry had testified he also admitted to asking his brother lewis to empty the dumpsters early on the witness stand capano painted his own version of events on the evening of june 27 1996. after dinner he and anne-marie came back to his place according to capano they had resolved their differences they were enjoying each other's company when debbie mcintyre burst into his house what are you doing [Music] what are you saying what are you doing in my house [Music] angry and despondent mcintyre threatens suicide [Music] anne-marie was killed instantly despite his legal training capano claimed he didn't call police because he was trying to protect mcintyre and himself instead he retrieved the cooler that he said was to be a gift to his brother refresh your memory he decided to use it as a coffin during cross-examination connolly pointed out that capano had prosecuted a similar case in 1976 when he served as assistant attorney general for delaware in that case the killer dumped his victim into a creek near delaware city at the time capano was quoted as saying the killer would have gotten away with his crime if he would have dumped the body into the atlantic capano denied this it's all here can i submit this to your honor in the state's version of events capano forced anne-marie fahey to return to his house she was determined to end their affair capano would not be jilted he took out the beretta that mcintyre bought for him and shot fahey in cold blood [Music] then he stuffed her into the cooler at about 9 45 that same evening he entered anne-marie's apartment with fresh groceries and the new pantsuit she would never wear he carefully tried to cover his tracks as he had planned for months on january 17 1999 the jury returned with a verdict mr a verdict yes your honor we have please rise based on his brother's testimony the blood evidence and the recovered cooler the once prominent lawyer and millionaire thomas capano was found guilty of first-degree murder we were able to reaffirm a lot of people's faith in the judicial system here the system works i think we accomplish justice here i have a very good relationship with the fehi family and so i think we've not only been able to bring about justice but we've brought as much comfort as they can have given the tragedy they had to suffer [Music] the jury went further sentencing capano to the gas chamber [Music] it was the first time in delaware history that a defendant had been found guilty in a capital crime without a body or a murder weapon capano now waits on death row pending appeals [Music] you
