The death of Mitch McConnell’s sister-in-law is under criminal investigation.
Angela Chao perished last month when her car crashed into a Texas rancher’s private pond. At first, the story was reported as a tragic accident, but now authorities suspect otherwise.
Fox Business reports:
Chao, 50, “was found dead in her sinking vehicle in a pond on a ranch in Johnson City, near Austin, on Feb. 11,” according to the New York Post. The ranch is owned by a corporation connected to Chao’s husband, Jim Breyer, the Post states.
A Blanco County Sheriff’s Office statement to the Austin American-Statesman Thursday said emergency medical services personnel attempted to save her, but that Chao “succumbed from being under the water.”
Several media reports say a letter to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton from BCSO details the crash “was not a typical accident.”

Chao earned her bachelor’s degree in economics from Harvard College, graduating magna cum laud in just three years. She attended Harvard Business School, where she wrote a case study on “Ocean Carriers” that became part of the required curriculum for first-year HBS students, according to industry news website MarineLink.
Angela, who was only 50 years old, served as the CEO of Foremost Group, a New York-based bulk shipping company. She was the sister of former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.
