((The search for the plane that carried John F. Kennedy Junior, his wife
Carolyn and sister-in-law Lauren Bessette is centered here: deep in the
cold waters of the Atlantic.
The Navy released these pictures of the search for the Piper Saratoga
plane that apparently crashed near Martha's Vineyard Friday night.
Officials say they're investigating some promising sonar
images...possibly pin-pointing the aircraft's wreckage. But the salvage
operation faces many difficulties.
Captain Bert Marsh/Supervisor of Salvage, US Navy: "We had a contact we felt was worth pursuing. We did put divers in the
water..."
CBS News has learned investigators are convinced Kennedy lost control of
the plane just before it crashed.
Radar shows 20 miles from the airport, something went wrong. The plane
turned right, climbing briefly to 26-hundred feet.
Then Kennedy again began to descend.
The plane turned slightly to the left....and then rolled back to the
right....into an accelerating dive.
Investigators suspect within seconds....Kennedy lost control and lost
any chance to save the aircraft.
Robert Pearce, NTSB Investigator:
At the Kennedy Library in Boston: an outpouring of sympathy. Busloads of
tourists came to honor the young Kennedy named after his father...as JFK
Junior's family reportedly began planning a memorial service in New York
for later in the week.))

[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Christiansburg;]
The former quarterback, who was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers, is accused of raping a college student at a house in Blacksburg back in March.
Druckenmiller says what happened was consensual.
But prosecutors say the young woman was too drunk to consent to sex.
12-hours after the two were together, the young woman's blood alcohol content measured point oh seven.
To further prove that sex between the two was NOT consensual-- testimony was also introduced that the woman had to have a tampon removed at the hospital and that abrasions to her vaginal area were detected.

The defense countered by saying the string on the tampon could have made the abrasions.
