19: Mary Pinchot Meyer

Alicia springboards off a paragraph in Dominick Dunne's 1991 Vanity Fair article "Damage" to walk us through the mysterious murder of American painter and socialite Mary Pinchot Meyer. Was it a CIA hit? Did Meyer know too much about the assassination of her longtime lover, JFK?
