Greetings
Hope4More,
Good questions, I'll give a quick answer to a couple
before I go for a surf with a couple of bros or shoot surfpix this morning...
1. She tampered with his paddle (pure uninformed silliness) and with his plug.
If she (or he) removed the plug before that day, in their home, the plug should still be there, and regardless, Vincent had to have been aware it was gone before getting on the water, or at the latest, by the time he was paddling towards the island. Yet...he got back in his boat.
Strange way of killing someone, to give them advance notice of how you're gonna try to make it happen. And then to not have any control over what happens next. And then alerting someone else to be watching.
Remember, it has to look like an "accident".
Or else there is jail and no $250,000.00
What we are seeing is intentional sabotage, simple as that,
in my humble opinion.
Until I see a photo of Vincent's kayak at Plum Point, or on Bannerman Island on April 19, 2015,
with out Vincent Viafore's drain-age plug screwed in where it belongs,
I'll dis-believe what Angelika says that she had removed the drain-age plug inside the apartment so the kitty cat could play with it! Angelika took alotta pix of their new kitty,
"Raskal", playing but there is not 1 pic of him playing with Vinny's drain-age plug. She goofed up there, in my humble opinion. Esh, look closely at her pix, you can even see Vincent's drain-age plug still screwed-in in 1 pic, (a month before his "accident", left in the same spot it was after he had come home from his last paddle and stored his kayak the year before) as
"Rascal" hangs in Vinny's kayak, and then can be seen playing with, nope, not the drain-age plug, but a paper ball...
Dig into her Instagram pix,
closely examine + study the images of the kayaks:

It appears Angelika's defense does not want you to see these social media pix...
In every single photo of Vincent seen on the water,
where you can see the stern of his Fusion 124 kayak, he has his drain-age plug screwed in.
He also has his PFD with him.
Heck, I hope that investigators can answer this question by closely examining the CCTV footage
as Vincent and Angelika travelled on the roadways to lauch their kayaks from Plum Point:
Is Vincent Viafore's drain-age plug screwed in?
I for 1 can easily visualize the plug being there all the time,
BUT Angelika removed right before they headed back home from Bannerman Island,
removed it on The Island before launch as evening descended
or even when on the near shorshore waters.
"Hey Vinny, want a beer?"
Look at the image below.
Do any of you doubt that
my gal could not have unscrewed and quickly, pulling hard, yanked my drain-age plug out from my stern in this image seen here? If she was pissed off at me, tired of the bull crap I could have dished out at her, pissed too that I was having 2nd thoughts of marrying her, and she wanted that $250,000.00?
Odd,
Vincent's drain-age plug:
sure looks like it could have been yanked hard outta the drain-age hole,
it seems to be missing the anchor thingys, they broke some how.
Mine are still there though,
good to show you folks for another comparison:
2. She says Vincent flipped, not that his boat filled up with water and sank. And his kayak clearly did NOT sink. It was recovered along with hers within a day.
Angelika
also says this:
“We were already in the water. I’m like, ‘Yo, where’s your plug. Are you kidding me? I was mad at him,” she told investigators. “His boat starting to get lower in the water… because of the waves, because of the plug not being in there… [The kayak] started to fill up, and I knew that the plug wasn’t in there. I was like ‘oh this is not good.’” (
*)
Angelika's changing stories are a bit intriguing.
She says on The 911 call that Vincent has a life jacket, aka a PFD,
yet when Lizzy Vargas chats with her in prison,
he didn't have 1. Hmmmm.
3. Experiments by any and all aside, I personally don't believe plug in plug out made the critical difference one way or another that day, and I think the State is going to have a very difficult time proving that it did, much less that she removed it on purpose to kill him.
Too many other explanations for how Vincent could have capsized, and /or how a destabilizing amount of water might have entered his boat.
Hope4More,
Viafore could have easily capsized in shallow water as waves crashed about him, but he did not.
His kayak "accident" happened 1/2 to 2/3rds of ways across the 1 mile or so wide Hudson River.
Due to that open hole on his stern.
I do not know of your weight, hopefully you weigh about 220lbs,
BUT until you paddle
The Same Kayak Model as what Vincent did,
in waves that make the kayak go up and down, where a dude is fighting the wind and paddling hard as can, bow is plunging thru any wind chop or swells, which can + will continuously wash over the stern - seconds apart, with-out coming into the *advertiser censored*-pit,
and you paddle with the drain-age plug removed, well I feel that we are comparing a Dodge truck like I drive with a Toyota...
If and when you do get a chance to do any tests,
well I too will look at your experiences, peer-review style.
Viafore was a big dude, his stern sat low in the water.
I found this out before I even purchased Vinny's kayak on Black Friday at Dick's for only $200.00. Angelika most likely knew of this: Vinny had water get inside his kayak before his "accident", IMHO.
She basically, in my humble opinion,
tried to do what others do who try to kill by poison, and tried to get away with it.
No guarantee of success, but some folks still try and do it anyways.
Like in another recent story I have read about,
the significant other convicted,
where an interesting clue help bust her. A spelling mistake, of all things:
http://news.yahoo.com/uk-wife-poisoned-husband-foiled-spelling-mistake-162013236.html
Speaking of interesting clues,
in this case we discuss, there is 1 that I recently pointed out,
where Angelika, in her 911 call for "help", uses
past tense to describe what happened,
err, oppps, correction, make that what
is happening.
Was The 911 call for real?
Or was it a ruse, an attempt at a "cover-up"?
"Hold on Baby"???
Pfffft.
My opinions only,
See ya, RW
