Anne Marie “Annie” Fahey wanted to date someone her own age who didn’t have a family, who wasn’t controlling and obsessive, and who didn’t insist they keep their relationship a secret from pretty much everyone in her life. But when she finally summoned the courage to break off her two-year relationship, she disappeared months later. What followed in the search for Annie—and, ultimately, justice— was a whirlwind trial that unequivocally proved no one, regardless of their popularity, connections, or wealth, is above the law. On this week’s episode, we dive into a case so chaotic that it might even rival the “Staircase Murder” in its twists and turns: The murder of Anne Marie Fahey at the hands of one of Delaware’s most prominent and influential prosecuting attorneys, Tom Capano.   Email: [email protected] Website: crimeculturepodcast.tumblr.com Instagram: @crimeculturepodcast Twitter: @CrimeCulturePod Facebook: @crimeculturepodcast And join our Patreon!
