After graduating from Vassar College, she married Cord Meyer, who became a top CIA official. A friend and classmate from Vassar, Cicely d’Autremont, married James Angleton, also of the CIA. Mary’s sister Antoinette (Tony) married Ben Bradlee of The Washington Post in 1955.
Mrs. Meyer was rumored to be a favorite mistress of President John F. Kennedy, was semi-publicly named as such by Philip Graham in early 1963,
On October 12, 1964, Mary Pinchot Meyer was murdered on the C&O Canal towpath in Georgetown, age 43. Her friend Anne Truitt was in Tokyo but learned of the murder that night. Truitt immediately contacted James Angleton and told him Mary had a diary and where it was — following Mary’s instructions should anything happen to her.
Mary Meyer was killed about 11 months after the JFK assassination, and a couple of weeks after the release of the Warren Commission report. I believe she read the report, and saw flaws in it’s conclusions. I wonder if she may have confronted her ex-husband, or possibly Angleton with her concerns. Any thoughts?
