But look, I mean, you and I could just jump right into this. It's mucky, but it's not full of water like it is down further. You could run across that and scale up over that wall. I mean, I could hop that. Yeah. I mean, truly, anybody could do that. So this idea that, yes, it's not an official exit, but if you're asking, could someone in fact exit? Yes, they could.
It seems as though Dovey came to the same conclusion. Back in 1965, the mapmaker was no contest for Dovey. After she listed all the potential unofficial exits, he relented. He couldn't counter her argument. He hadn't been to the towpath. So in open court, he had to admit he wasn't sure there were a fixed number of escape routes. The implications were huge.
It meant the fact that Ray was in the area didn't mean that he was guilty. It meant that if the murder was planned, someone could have quickly left the area any number of ways. And someone could even have gotten away before the cops started their dragnet. Dovey scored big for Ray's defense. Here's Bob Bennett again.
Hantman grew visibly angry. He objected. Judge Corcoran overruled him. The mapmaker's testimony was fair game. Ray's case wasn't looking as hopeless as it had after opening arguments. Dovey was going toe-to-toe with the gum-chewing, aggressive prosecutor. She was smart. She knew what she was doing. Dovey was finding gaps in Hantman's argument.
What she didn't know, what only Mary's inner circle knew, was that Mary had had an affair with JFK. Had she known, she might have argued her case differently. But JFK was known to have countless women at his fingertips. Look at Marilyn Monroe. But what JFK and Mary had was not a typical affair. JFK wrote to her and said, you know, you need to give me what I want. Yes, that's right.
JFK wrote Mary Meyer a letter, an epic love letter. Next time, you'll get to hear it.

I'm Soledad O'Brien, and on my podcast, Murder on the Towpath, I'm taking you back to the 1960s. Mary Pinchot Meyer was a painter who lived in Georgetown in Washington, D.C. Every day, she took a daily walk along the towpath near the E&O Canal.
The police arrived in a heartbeat. Within 40 minutes, a man named Raymond Crump Jr. was arrested. He was found nearby, soaking wet, and he was black. Only one woman dared defend him, civil rights lawyer, W. Roundtree. Join me as we unravel this story with a crazy twist. Because what most people didn't know is that Mary was connected to a very powerful man.
