"Caught" {"The Ice Chest Murder" Episode #1.1} (2002)

This first episode of the TLC true crime series "Caught" covers the 1996 murder of Anne Marie Fahey by prominent Delaware lawyer Tom Capano.

Fahey was an attractive but sometimes troubled young woman who worked in then-Governor Tom Carper's office. She had a boyfriend and an apartment, but vanished one night and was never seen again. A trio of investigators obsessed over the case, before finally cracking it- Fahey had been murdered by Capano after she tried to end their affair. He dumped her body in the ocean, and it was never recovered. The film follows the investigation, and the problems of trying a case without a body or murder weapon.

The reenactment footage is pretty terrible, but the case is fascinating, resulting in many books, films, and television episodes. Many of the subjects have moved on or passed away since this debut, a producer should provide an update about what has happened since. Also known as a stand alone title: "Caught: The Ice Chest Murder."
