Anne Marie Fahey of Wilmington, Delaware, had had a turbulent, parentless childhood. When she got selected to be the Appointments Secretary for the Governor of Delaware, it was presumed that her life would take a turn for the better.

Thomas Capano, a wealthy and politically involved attorney (the Capano family-owned multi-millions worth of real estate), started a sordid affair with the charming, attractive, and also 17-year-younger, Annie, after spotting her at the governor’s office.

This affair with this narcissistic and controlling millionaire cost her her life. Her diary entries spoke of great pain and misery.

Rich But Manipulative

Tom Capano, like the textbook rich admirer, would gift her clothes, shoes, a TV, books, cash, and appliances and even offered to buy her a car and an apartment. For any young woman on a $30,000 per year salary, his attentions would be flattering.
