According to CBS Boston, police investigated the home, which was once owned by the late president, at around 9:30 pm after receiving a call from Ted Kennedy, Jr about a possible intruder. Kennedy, Jr said he had called the home to check in on his teenage son who was staying there, but instead the phone was answered by a man named James Lacroix.

Investigators say they found a black Corvette parked outside and Lacroix inside, sitting on a couch reading a book. He told the cops he had arrived at the home at around 6:30 pm and was able to walk in through an unlocked door.

"Earlier in the evening, when the teen first got home, the intruder was already there. They had a conversation. The teen thought it was a family friend," the Police Chief told reporters. "This is the Kennedy family, so they're used to having a lot of visitors, a lot of friends down there. He thought, perhaps, it was an associate of his father or other family member.
