Worst Story of the Week: Man Arranges to Propose to Beloved on Romantic Ocean Beach; Wave Sweeps Down and Takes Her Out to Sea, Never to be Seen Again

They met on the internet, incidentally.

A romantic marriage proposal on the Oregon coast turned deadly for the bride-to-be when a wave swept her out to sea.

Scott Napper planned to pop the question to Leafil Alforque, 22, at a spot near Neskowin Beach that got its name from couples ready to marry.

Napper said the tide had receded around Proposal Rock on Saturday when the couple began to walk to it. He planned to propose and give her the ring he carried in his pocket.

About 10 feet from the rock, a wave around 3 feet high suddenly came toward them.

"I turned into it to keep from getting pulled under it," Napper said.

By the time he turned to find Alforque, only 4-foot-11 and 93 pounds, she had been caught by the receding waters.

"She was about 30 feet away, getting swept away," Napper said.

The 45-year-old Silverton man tore off his jacket to get rid of any extra weight, and when he looked up again she was gone.

"That's the last I saw of her," he said Wednesday, breaking into tears.

Emergency personnel called by someone on the beach arrived within minutes. His own phone no longer worked after being exposed to the water.

Along with rescuers, he searched for any sign of Alforque.

"I yelled for her," he said. "I was praying to God."


...

Thick fog and dangerous water conditions hampered the rescue efforts before the search was called off Monday.

Locals hope to mitigate the damage done to the site's reputation, through rebranding. The town is debating changing the rock's name from "Proposal Rock" to "Xtreme Proposal Rock."

"It's just a matter of marketing and brand-positioning," one councilman said.

13 At least be honest about it. Worse story my ass. You're joking about it. Limbaugh was joking about it. I'm not so sure why people think it is so funny or noteworthy but for the fact that some guys are stuck in infancy and are afraid of marriage.

I assume after the fact since the report mentions no witnesses to the incident and that it specifically stated his cell phone didn't work so I assume he yelled and found someone to call.  Again I changed my mind because of the location but this is a scenario of many foul play deaths.

Graham,

Don't be a jerk. I know some guys who married Filipina mail-order brides and they turned out to be loyal, hard-working, generous, supportive, happy women who didn't have a chip on their shoulder about "equality" like so many of the domestic models.

The two I knew personally thought that a woman SHOULD want to be in the home, cooking, cleaning, raising her children and keeping her husband happy. The only thing I saw them absolutely adamant about--and I do mean absolutely--was education for the kids. Those kids would get something less than an A only over their mother's dead body and anything and everything in the house came second to education.

Women shouldn't have to be stuck in the home if they don't want to be but in America, a woman who does want to be a stay-at-home traditional homemaker is sneered at by many other women. That is one of the reasons why the domestic models have such a hard time with it. The foreign models know what they want and don't give a damn what their U.S. counterparts think, not having a tremendous amount of respect for them in the first place.

Bottom line: after I saw the two "mail-order bride" marriages I knew of work as well as they did, I've got nothing but praise for them. I've got empirical evidence. You're not only wrong but out of line.

It is December.  The ocean is cold in December.  And this guy couldn't wait until the tide went back far enough that they could walk out to the rock without getting their feet wet?  Or were they wearing waders?

This is so romantic?  Getting wet feet to stand on a rock on the beach in December?

Everyone was busy hatin' on old tasteless Dan (the one who posted it) for laughing at the scenario, and the first thought in my mind was "A giant wave just happened to sweep her out to sea just as he was proposing marriage, at a place he happened to choose! How con-veeeen-ient."

Or maybe I watch too much CSI.

111 3-foot wave should have plenty of witnesses. Let's hear from them.

112 Not funny.

My husband read the account to me this morning at breakfast and I didn't believe it for a moment....

You're wading through the water to propose marriage and.... you're not holding her hand?

A big wave comes and you turn toward the beach and dig in... without grabbing your love and holding her in front of you or putting an arm around her shoulder?  I didn't know at the time how tiny she was!

You can't drop your coat without looking away?    I hadn't thought about how cold the water must have been.

The only problem with murder, though, is what does he get out of it?

113 Very suspicious.  Check for insurance.

Posted by: Federale at December 05, 2008 11:40 PM (r6GbI)

114 He proposes to her, she says no, it hurts his pride and he freaks out because he visualized things working out the way he wanted.  So... she doesn't live.
What does he get out of it?

Most murders are for reasons of pride

Wave goodbye.

Posted by: pc at December 06, 2008 06:43 AM (S7zPk)

120 I'm not buying this. He ignores his bride to be when the wave comes, leaving her to fend for herself and then looks away to take off his jacket?? riiiiiiiiiiight.

121

Filipinos are so family-obsessed they make Jews look like sociopathic loners.

You're so right. That people even think he's guilty is silly. She's been dating him since 2005. Why would she travel all the way over here on a visa to say no. I'm pretty sure they've talked by webcam, she knows what he looks like.

She was tiny, it'd be very easy for her to get washed away.

He probably turned from the wave in instinct, as most of us do when a wave's crashing, having NO flipping clue that she'd get washed away, so his initial reaction would not be to save her. And he's probably a tad inept, socially and maybe physically inept if he can't find a woman in the U.S. out of 301,139,947 people. My point in saying that is, he's not some gallant dude.

Why would that be a thought in his head?

A group of five MEN got washed away just last week and three of them drowned. http://tiny.cc/kDdWh The men  were taken down by a 3 foot wave in California.

This was a proposal point, not some random rock.

Here's a news video about 9 people drowning because of a rogue wave. (later revised to 7 deaths)

http://tiny.cc/i2gTH

You guys sound like Trig Truthers.

Now having said ALL that, he doesn't seem to devastated when being interviewed for this newscast.

http://tiny.cc/DudaV

but again, I think he's pretty socially inept.

>> I think he's pretty socially inept.

 

So he'll be hittin on ya soon then?

123 I'm waiting.

Posted by: pajama momma at December 06, 2008 12:31 PM (dzrRD)

124 Socially inept? Maybe that explains the oddly detached air he has during the interview. I dunno, but this smells to me.

Posted by: CraigC at December 06, 2008 12:42 PM (sN7wy)

125 Not to mention the very strange locutions.

Posted by: CraigC at December 06, 2008 12:43 PM (sN7wy)

126

I agree, his behavior in the interview would be considered odd by pretty much everyone's standards. Seriously though, the guy seems pretty doofy to me.

I'm an expert on mail order brides because both my brothers went that route and they're both socially inept dorks.

Posted by: pajama momma at December 06, 2008 12:50 PM (dzrRD)

127

Why is it that so many mail order brides are killed by their husbands?  I think we all know the answer, and it's all about the 'socially inept dorks' finding out Miss Perfect has been bopping a more suave and sophisticated version of her American hero. 

Or, when she threatens to return to momma,  and the fumbling dweeb who believed that foreplay was a warm up exercise prior to playing miniature golf chops her up in little pieces for being just like those arrogant American ho's he so despises.

Posted by: Fish at December 06, 2008 01:24 PM (6Rihj)

128 So let's get this straight.  If the story is true and he was really proposing when a rogue wave came in and swept her away, that's funny.  But if it's murder it isn't.   What are you folks sniffing?

Nothing funny about this death either way.  I lived on the ocean for many years.  When you walk along a beach, you are looking out to an unforgiving wilderness.  The ocean makes its own rules and can kill you at the drop of a hat.  

Funny stories are when people survive to tell their ocean story.  A friend of mine who is a superb swimmer and athlete was doing a stint as a lifeguard on a local beach.  At the end of a perfectly beautiful and calm day, he swam out not more than fifty feet to retrieve something from a moored dingy.   Out of nowhere a squall swept him and the dingy three miles out into the ocean.   Someone called the Coast Guard who rescued him.

The funny part was the next morning when his father was reading the Boston Globe and was chortling to his wife about "some stupid kid" who managed to get himself blown out to see.  Only after reading the end of the story did he realize that it was his own son.

The H4 replica watches took replica watches Harrison a massive 13 years to replica watches construct-but this was only the end of a lifetime's work. His genius was clear from the very beginning. Unfortunately many astronomers such as Nevil Maskelyne were convinced that a mechanical solution replica watches would not work and that only astronomy could solve the replica watches longitude problem. The fact that Harrison was from a working class family and had little replica watches formal education probably didn't help his prospects.Solving the longitude problem through horology meant designing a timepiece that could work accurately at sea. When you watch consider the rolling waves, changes in replica watches temperature and generally adverse replica watches conditions the dificulty of this task becomes apparent.The H1 was completed in 1735 and proved replica successful at sea. However the Board of Longitude demanded a full a transatlantic wholesale watch voyage. They gave Harrison a grant of 500 pounds with which he began work on the H2 watches.

Replica watches are now tag heuer Watches not only objects that tag heuer watches can tell you what time it is, they are also a status symbol. You should not feel strange when you find someone wearing a watch on his wrist, but use the cell phone to tell time. In that situation, the watch is just showing its luxurious function cartier watches. It is normal and cartier watches perhaps also happens to you. .If asked that among the watches of various brands, which one can suit your taste? There is no doubt that most people will choose Rolex. Whichever social class you are in, it is naturally Rolex was known breitling Watches and cherished breitling watches for a long time. However, the elements do not usually enter the market alone, always come with the price tag up to the hand. For this reason, many people, especially men, their dreams of luxury Rolex watches are buried in omega Watches his heart omega watches. What should I do? Rolex watches are simply stunning worn by the rich and famous, right? No, this world is not the world's richest men, is the world of each. All are equal before the search of luxury and be men's watches respected. Within men's watches, the law, when consumers are in the market, women's watches they should women's watches receive the same treatment. This is the real reason why replica Rolex watches are ladies watches ladies watches more welcome than Rolex. Because in this world are not difficult to understand that the rich are much less than people with low income, you agree with me? You are forced to nod and say with certainty that is the reality. These low-income people do not have enough money to save every month. They can not afford such luxury Rolex watches
