Timeline

In 2015, it was announced that Christoph Waltz would direct and star in the film The Worst Marriage in Georgetown (later retitled Georgetown), which is based on the true crime story of the murder of Viola Drath. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 27, 2019, and was released theatrically in the United States on May 14, 2021.

Early in the marriage, Muth started a pattern of domestic violence against Drath, inducing repeated police visits to the Q Street home. On August 11, 2011, Drath was found dead in the bathroom of her Q Street home. Muth was held at St. Elizabeths Hospital, where he was initially found incompetent to stand trial after being diagnosed with schizotypal personality disorder and a delusional disorder. In a report submitted to the court, forensic psychologist Mitchell Hugonnet concluded that Muth had narcissistic personality disorder but was not mentally ill. Muth was convicted of murdering her and was sentenced to 50 years in prison. In Judge Russell F. Canan's remarks before sentencing, he described Muth as "a common serial domestic violence abuser, made worse when he drinks, who subjected Ms. Drath to many years of abuse."

After their marriage, Muth fabricated a story that an elderly German Count had fallen from an elephant in India and needed to appoint a successor before dying—from that point forward, Muth insisted on being called Count Albrecht. Following the 2003 completion of the Iraq War, Muth suddenly adopted the rank, and wore the uniform, of a brigadier general in the Iraqi Army, organizing diplomatic events in DC that he claimed were for the new Iraqi regime. In April 2011, Muth somehow arranged a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery to honor fallen American soldiers in Iraq, supposedly on behalf of the Iraqi regime.

Four years after the death of her husband, Drath, then 70 years old, married the 26-year-old Muth. The April 1990 marriage was performed by a Virginia Supreme Court judge.

As a member of the executive committee of the National Committee on American Foreign Policy, she was described as a "notable figure in German-American relations for over thirty years." Her 1988 article for the National Committee, The Reemergence of the German Question, proposed negotiations on German unification between the two German states and the four Allied Powers.

Drath was a foreign policy adviser during the 1988 Bush campaign, where she helped "lay the groundwork which led to the "2+4" process towards German unification in 1990". In 1989, Drath met with President George H. W. Bush.

Drath's first husband, Francis Drath, died on January 11, 1986. In the early 1980s, Viola met Albrecht Gero Muth, 44 years her junior, who was then an unpaid intern from Germany.

In 1968, Drath became a political correspondent for the German newspaper Handelsblatt. During this time, Drath and her first husband moved to Washington, DC, where Col. Drath was a legislative liaison with the Selective Service. They bought a house at 3206 Q Street, Northwest, in the Georgetown district in northwest Washington, D.C.

In 1946, in Germany, she was a playwright, with one of her early productions, Farewell Isabell, staged in Straubing's Municipal Theater and in Munich.

Viola Herms Drath (February 8, 1920 – August 11, 2011) was a Washington, D.C., socialite who was a "notable figure in German-American relations for over thirty years". She died at age 91 by murder at the hands of her second husband.

Drath was born in Düsseldorf, Germany, on February 8, 1920. She is reported to have learned English from vacations and boarding school in Scotland. During her time in Munich, Drath met Lt. Col. Francis S. Drath, who, at the time was the deputy military governor of Bavaria and would later become her first husband, on Lake Constance in Switzerland. Later, she moved to the United States with her first husband.
