Blood on Mary Jo Kopechne’s clothes in exhumation petition
Massachusetts District Attorney Edmund S. Dinis filed a petition in a Pennsylvania court seeking an autopsy on Mary Jo Kopechne. He cites washed out blood stains on her white shirt and traces in her mouth and nose, suggesting possible blood residue and a drowning death as yet unconfirmed. A pre autopsy hearing is set for September 29, with Kopechne’s parents opposing exhumation. The Massachusetts inquest was postponed as state court reviews ground rules.
