Woman Killed During Marriage Proposal

Proposal Rock

Scott Napper had taken his Filippine bride-to-be, 22-year old Leafil Alforque, to Proposal Rock near Neskowin Beach to ask her to marry him. The area received its name because it is a place where marriage proposals are frequently made. The couple had dating since 2005 when they met on the internets. The would-be bride just arrived 3 days earlier on a visa from the Philippines. The would-be groom said the tide had receded around Proposal Rock last Saturday when the couple began to walk toward it. He planned to propose and give her a ring he was carrying in his pocket. about 3 yards from the rock a 3-foot high wave suddenly crashed on her and the 93 lbs, 4'11" woman was washed away and killed. The body of the woman, pictured below, has not been recovered.
