The woman in the polka-dot dress

Kennedy campaign worker Sandy Serrano claimed a young Hispanic man and a young Caucasian woman wearing a "polka dot" dress burst from a southwest exit of the Ambassador Hotel's Embassy Room ballroom moments after the shooting, giggling and exclaiming, "We shot him." When she asked them "Who?" the young woman answered, "Senator Kennedy!" The two then walked into a hotel parking lot where an elderly couple named Bernstein saw them, still laughing and saying, "We shot Kennedy." The Bernsteins flagged down LAPD officer Paul Sharaga, who issued an all points bulletin for the young couple but this was canceled without explanation by his superiors. Serrano said she was later coerced by police into changing her story. Researchers have pored over photographs and television pictures from the scene and found women wearing dresses that might be perceived as bearing polka dots, but no likely assassin has been identified.
