Woman swept to sea during proposal on Oregon coast

NESKOWIN, Ore. – 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 had taken 22-year-old Leafil Alforque to Proposal Rock near Neskowin Beach to pop the question at a place that got its name from couples ready to marry. Napper and Alforque had been dating since they met on the Internet in 2005.

But Alforque had arrived in Oregon on a visa from the Philippines just three days before the fateful trip to the coast.

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 about 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.

Imagine coming to America to start a new life only to die. Tragic and unfair.

and how pray tell do we know he didn't push her? She probably said no to marrying him so he flung her into the sea and then phoned the emergency services to make it look like she genuinely got swept away.

I say arrest this dude!

I was kinda thinking the same thing. For his sake I hope there were witnesses.

The Tillamook County Sheriff's Office is routinely checking the beach and looking for possible witnesses, said Sheriff Todd Anderson.
Police don't suspect foul play, he said.

Sad.

I'm thinking he killed her and made up this story completely. She's probably buried out in a field somewhere.

 

[Markas]

I agree. Or he tossed her into the ocean.

It's very common for people to be freakishly swept out to sea along the Oregon coast, to the extent that it should perhaps not be considered freakish anymore.

 

[An Officer]

Wow. I guess, that should tell you something... if the person proposing to you doesn't look to see where you are as a deadly situation approaches... there's your answer!

I don't know what kind of visa she came on. My guess she was already a fiance and they intended just another romantic outing. It is very, very hard for Filipinas to get entry into the US otherwise, especially at her age.
