Anne Marie Sinead Fahey, 30, was last seen alive on June 27, 1996, when she went to dinner with Thomas Capano in Philadelphia. Fahey had been the appointments secretary to then‑Governor Tom Carper of Delaware and had ended an affair with Capano earlier that year. Her family reported her missing on June 30, 1996, and an extensive search followed.

Capano was the last known person to see Fahey and became the prime suspect. He was arrested for her murder in November 1997. Prosecutors alleged Fahey was killed at a house Capano rented, and that Capano and his brother Gerry disposed of her body in the Atlantic Ocean. Gerry testified that Capano shot a cooler containing Fahey’s body when it would not sink, later removing the body and wrapping anchor chains around it. Fahey’s body was never recovered, and prosecutors could not establish the cause or manner of death, but Capano was convicted of first‑degree murder in January 1999 and sentenced to death; that sentence was later commuted to life without parole.

The case drew major media attention and inspired a true crime book. Does anyone have memories of Fahey, her work in Delaware politics, or information about her last known movements in late June 1996?
