Former Maryland Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsends daughter and grandson are missing after authorities say they were seen struggling to return to shore in a canoe near Herring Bay, a family member confirmed Friday.
David McKean says his wife, Maeve Fahey Kennedy Townsend, 41, and son, Gideon Joseph Kennedy McKean, 8, are the people last sighted 10 miles south of Annapolis near Herring Bay.
McKean declined to comment further.
Anne Arundel County fire officials say a concerned citizen called 911 around 4:30 p.m. Thursday to report that he saw the woman and her son in a small canoe or kayak from the Columbia Beach community pier.

I guess they were on a leisurely row down to Norfolk.
They went into the canoe to get a ball that fell into the water.
Is the Papa Joe Kennedy curse real? Or do their escapades make the news when other families tragedies don't?

Google "family tragedies" and all of the trended searches are about the Kennedys.

Declared dead, but no bodies found and after only 24 hours...?
Well, oops. Possible tragic misjudging of the cirumstances. I hope it was an onshore rather than an off shore wind.
Drive on a bridge?
Campaign in LA?
Not found
Perhaps never found
Maybe doesnt want to be found....( given her career)
Just speculating
Another story I saw on this said that the mother and her son had paddled out to retrieve a ball. Don’t know. Seems strange.
Oh, so they were rowing out....to retrieve a ball....in wind driven choppy waters...in The Chesapeake Bay...with very cold water temperatures. Well, that explains it.
The waters were beyond choppy high winds weather fridged YET they jump in a canoe and go into the water you cant fix stupid!! JFK jumped into a plane with horrible flying conditions these people have NO commode sense!
The two most common causes of private plane crashes is running out of fuel or flying into conditions you are not trained for. Kennedy was flying a plane he was not totally trained on. He was not instrument certified. He was flying overwater on a warm and hazy day. He lost his reference and fell into a spin and that was it.

Arkancide?
Commode = common Damn spell check
Agreed. Prayers up.
My guess: Bumped off.
Chesapeake Bay not the ocean. And I think the boy was 8.
He was sleeping at a friend’s house....
Were you there, too?
Is it sick and wrong that I laughed out load at that?
