Joke became gruesome reality

new york - A 23-year-old woman joking at family: 'he's going to ask me to marry if he throws me off a cliff', was found dead shortly thereafter.

And it was indeed in a ravine in an American nature reserve.

The 23-year-old Rhonda Casto went to a nature park in Oregon with Steve Nichols in 2009 for a thought-out romantic getaway.

At first the death of the young mother seemed a tragic accident, until suddenly her family remembered her strange statement. 'At the time we thought she was joking,' says her sister in an American television show that reconstructed the death of the young woman.

Nichols was arrested and charged with murder six years later after a long insistence of the family. Then it turned out that he had taken out a $ 1 million life insurance policy just before she died.
