Rescuers are searching for two missing boaters – a member of the Kennedy family and her young son – after their canoe was found miles from where they were last seen struggling in rough and choppy waters in the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said Friday.
"A former Maryland lieutenant governor's daughter, Maeve, and her 8-year-old grandson, Gideon, went missing after canoeing yesterday afternoon," Hogan said at a press conference."An intensive search has been underway since late yesterday."
The missing pair are Maeve Kennedy Townsend McKean, 40, and her son Gideon, 8.
Maeve McKean is the granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy, the grandniece of former President John F. Kennedy, and daughter of former Maryland lieutenant governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Robert F. Kennedy's eldest child.
Maeve McKean is the executive director of the Georgetown University Global Health Initiative.
"I reached out to and spoke with Lt. Gov. Townsend this morning and on behalf of the people of Maryland I expressed our most heartfelt sympathies and prayers to her and to her entire family during this difficult time," Hogan said.
The Kennedy family issued a statement through a spokesman Alan Fleischmann.
“At this time, our family asks for privacy and that everyone keep Maeve and Gideon in their prayers,” the statement said.
