John McCain and Carol Shepp met in 1964 while he was at the United States Naval
Academy in Annapolis. Carol Shepp had been married to and was divorced from one
of McCains classmates at the academy and had two children.  John McCain adopted
her two sons soon after the wedding and daughter Sidney was born in 1966. A year

captured and became a POW.  Carol would not see him again for almost six years.

On Christmas Eve 1969 Carol Shepp McCain was in an automobile accident and
thrown through her car's windshield sustaining serious injuries included
crushed legs, broken arm and pelvis, and internal bleeding.  Despite her
condition and caring for three young children, she refused to allow her POW
husband to be notified, fearing that the news would affect him while he was
still being held prisoner. When McCain returned home in 1973, he found that his
wife was a different person. The accident had "left her 4 inches shorter and on
crutches, and she had gained a good deal of weight."

McCain started having extramarital affairs after returning from Vietnam,
divorced Shepp in 1980, and he married his millionaire mistress, Cindy Lou
Hensley, the following month.

Cindy Lou Hensley McCain

McCain met Cindy Hensley in 1979 at a military reception in Honolulu, Hawaii. 
Hensley was an attractive 25-year-old woman from a very wealthy and politically
connected Arizona family. Cindy's father founded Hensley and Company, the
nation's second-largest Anheuser-Busch distributor.
John McCain noted "She was lovely, intelligent and charming, 17 years my junior
but poised and confident. I monopolized her attention the entire time, taking
care to prevent anyone else from intruding on our conversation. When it came
time to leave the party, I persuaded her to join me for drinks at the Royal
Hawaiian Hotel. By the evening's end, I was in love."
