Adrienne Shelly was a rising star in the American acting scene, renowned for her performances in The Unbelievable Truth and Waitress, which she also wrote and directed. Unfortunately, her bright future was cut short on November 1, 2006, when her husband, Andrew, found her lifeless body in their Manhattan apartment.
Adrienne was discovered hanging from the shower by a bed sheet fashioned into a noose around her neck. Although money was missing from her wallet and the door was unlocked, the NYPD initially deemed her death a suicide.
However, Andrew adamantly believed that Adrienne would never have taken her own life, as she was content with her personal and professional life and adored her daughter. He spoke fondly of her, describing her as kind, warm, loving, intelligent, humorous, and talented. He further stated that she was his closest confidante and the person he envisioned growing old with.
At Andrew's urging, authorities reopened the case, and a new examination of the crime scene uncovered a shoe print on the toilet that did not belong to Adrienne or her family. The print matched that of 19-year-old Diego Pillco, a construction worker who had been in the apartment complex on the day of her death. Pillco eventually confessed to attacking Adrienne and hanging her from the shower to make it appear as though she had committed suicide. Shockingly, the autopsy revealed that she was still alive when he tied her up.
Pillco was charged with first-degree manslaughter and sentenced to 25 years in prison.
