(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.
