James Angleton, as most people know, was head of counterintelligence spy hunting for the CIA and had been for many years. He was in the middle of a meeting at CIA headquarters when he got an urgent call from his wife who apprised him of the fact that there had been a murder of a woman on the towpath, yet to be identified, I believe.

She called up, afraid that the murder on the towpath had been Mary. It was about the time that Mary would go running. You know, this was a very close friend of the family, and they were both concerned about it.
