The rescue search for Maeve Kennedy Townsend McKean and her son Gideon has been suspended, with the granddaughter of Robert F.
Kennedy and her son presumed dead. Maeve’s husband, David McKean, shared the news on Facebook Friday, the day after his wife and son went missing after a canoe accident. “Despite heroic efforts by the Coast Guard and many state and local authorities, the decision has now been made to suspend the active rescue effort,” he wrote.
The search that began yesterday afternoon went on throughout the night and continued all day today,” he said. “It is now dark again.
