SKATE PRO In-line skates seem to get cooler and pricier every year. While the earliest models felt like clunky ski boots on wheels, great strides were soon made with lightweight, breathable materials and easy braking techniques. Now K2's $400 Escape skates feature a "Splitframe" hinge between the front and back wheels, so skaters can bend their feet to generate a more natural, powerful stroke.

The chassis is shuffled off to a subfactory run by the German firm of Krupp Hoesch Automotive, where the power module is installed. Bosch plunks down the front end, which includes the cooler, headlights and crash box.

(The cooler was later found by fishermen.) Neither did anyone expect him to point the finger at another ex-mistress, Deborah MacIntyre, who, he says, "accidentally" shot Fahey as Capano tried to wrest a gun from her--an action he claims he later covered up by getting rid of the body, which has never been found. MacIntyre denies the entire story...
