The Strange Tale of Ted Kennedy and the Chappaquiddick Incident | The Death of Mary-Jo Kopechne

The Kennedy family is one of the most powerful and influential in American history. However, their journey to the top has been beset by tragedy. Assassinations and tragic accidents have seen many of the Kennedy clan perish and given rise the notion that the family is some how cursed.
Today we look at the life of Ted Kennedy who survived a plane crash only to be visited upon by disaster once more, though this time it would cost the life of Mary Jo Kopechne.
The Chappaquiddick incident is still surrounded in mystery to this day following the actions of Ted in the immediate aftermath.

Too shocked to realize he should report the accident immediately....but not too shocked to make those 17 phone calls to the lawyers and cronies he thought could help save his political career. My opinion ? He was a vile individual.

[@rachelstratman1405]

In my heart, I always believed it was intentional, possibly because he had an improper relationship with her that would have derailed his political plans.

[@markuswx1322]

We may never know what we've been saved by his failure to be elected president, but I've always said the Senate is a better job. It's a lifetime career in the most powerful old boy's club in the world. You don't even have to be that bright, and Ted was the least bright of the brothers. In any case, the 17 phone calls did the trick. The Kennedy machine was already working to prevent any action by the prosecutor against Ted that would land him in jail. Edmund Dinis later admitted that had he given the grand jury the case, it would have been able to indict Kennedy for manslaughter. The irony here is that Ted probably never was in the car at the time of the accident. The only way he could devise a plausible scenario for what happened was to declare himself involved in the accident, with a harrowing rescue attempt as the excuse for the delay in reporting it. Boston Police detective Bernie Flynn (a Democrat and Kennedy family supporter, by the way) reconstructed what happened: When Deputy Look saw the car pulled off on Cemetery Road just off Dyke Road, he approached the car, which quickly sped off, as Ted didn't want to be caught drunk with a young woman in his car. Ted halted a few hundred yards away, told Mary Jo to drive on and pick him up when the coast was clear. When she didn't return, he walked down Dyke road to the bridge, saw the submerged car and realized the only thing he could do was to avoid the others at the cottage, get back to his hotel room and avoid the whole matter. The next morning his cousin Joey Gargan convinced him he had to report the accident right away, which he did reluctantly. (Local residents had already discovered the car and called it in.) One of the untold stories of the tragedy is how willing the other girls at the party were to sacrifice their colleague. One and all they declared themselves unsure when Ted left the party with Mary Jo. They were quickly hustled off the island, and later rendered a series of I-don't-recalls about specific times. Their subsequent careers were paid for by the Kennedy family. One of them, Esther Newburgh, became a prominent literary agent.. It was she, as reported in a well-known book about the incident, who actually suggested that a lie be told about who was driving the car when it left the Lawrence Cottage where the party was being held. Little did she know that in the end, it probably was Mary Jo who drove into the water. No one seems ever to have seen Ted in wet clothes that night.

There's a theory that he didn't report it because he wasn't in the car. When the policeman approached the car at 12.40, it sped off. Ted got out, swam back to his hotel. Mary Joe, unfamiliar with the road (unlike Ted), drove off the bridge. In the morning, Ted was behaving normally with people he met, discussing the yachting, until the two pals arrived from the island and they went into conclave. All in the BBC documentary from the 1990s.

Why was Frank Sturgis and E Howard Hunt seen on the island before Mary Jo's death? Mary Jo wasn't that type of girl , as everyone who knew her said. Guess you don't know that Ted was almost killed in a plane crash. I guess they couldn't again try to kill a Kennedy. Instead they killed his chances of being President.

This time, the time element precluded a coverup although his political connection let him escape a manslaughter conviction.

[@MrRaulstrnad]

@@lauralonati7048 it started with their father Joe Kennedy a truly evil man. The Karma was that Joe was alive at the time of Chappaquiddick and was planning a presidential run for Edward which would have definitively placed Edward into the presidency at 1976 at the latest. Joe could then die peacefully. Joe, however, suffered a stroke that left him speechless. If Joe had full communitive powers he could have organized a cover up which he was an expert at. Due to the stroke however he was out of the loop and had to endure the crashing of any hopes that another would be president again. True Karma for his many crimes including several murders.

Thank you for your even, calm and detailed report. I didn’t know Mary Jo had such a long involvement with the K clan. Although I knew of the incident, I thought she’d been a stranger at the party he’d ‘picked up’ and they were on their way to a hotel. Admittedly if he took after his older brothers, he wouldn’t have needed or wanted a hotel, a quick trip into a bathroom or closet with her would have sufficed for him! I’ve several times been aware of a salacious undertone to some of the reports and opinions. Sort of, “And just *what* were they doing that he lost control of the car?” That pond looks to be very shallow, for him to have dived repeatedly and not be able to find her. I’m fascinated by an earlier commenter stating she was pregnant. At least it’s a reason for the event.

The "bridge" didn't have any barrier: just a small lip a few inches high: very easy to drive off, if it was dark & you weren't familiar with the area....but he WAS familiar because he spent alot of time there from his youth. The idea that he took a wrong turn while heading to the ferry was ridiculous, as he knew the area like the back of his hand.

The water wasn't that deep: the wheels were visible in the photos I saw....if he reentered the car through the same route he escaped by, he could have led her to safety. In fact, even if he contacted his "people" & one of them called 911, she could have been saved. the whole thing reeks of deliberate inaction.

That whole family perhaps with exception to the daughters, starting from the father, thru his living sons, received their due recompense! Two surviving sons assassinated, the last one had a brain tumor, even though years had passed after he left the scene of that bridge. He couldn't have been that drunk. Maybe he had affair with the lady and realized what have I done moment and decided to take the long way home and cross that bridge that he knew was busted up. And it wasn't that deep in the water. He left her in there knowing that she would drown and he would appeal on people's sympathy. Glad none of their grandchildren in politics.

Wow, does that take me back! I was in High School and it was seen as him having an inappropriate relationship with that poor girl and something happened. Maybe she was pregnant, or going to the press because he was married, but whatever, it was no accident!

[@m.y.o.b.724]

I wouldn't be surprised, if Ted Kennedy was inebriated at the time and that's why he drove the car off the bridge. That could also explain why he waited so long to report the accident and was making all other calls first, in order to do damage control. It's also possible that he made a move on Mary-Jo Kopechne and was rebuffed which could've resulted in the crash. After all, the Kennedy men were notorious for being womanizers. Maybe that's why he didn't try too hard to save her... Or the two made that turn onto the dirt road for some privacy...😉. Maybe that's the reason why the off duty deputy saw the car at a much later time in an out of the way location. So many possibilities... we'll never know for sure what really happened.

[@jeannieheath8779]

I've always felt like he was drunk, he ran to sober up before calling and probably couldn't help her - even had he wanted to. She possibly could have been saved had he saught help immediately - but imo he was more worried about himself.

@@m.y.o.b.724 the information is readily available, several original people investigating the "incident" believe this scenario, and it's the one that makes the most sense, just follow the events of that night and it becomes increasingly clear, once the story broke kennedy told people he trusted what happened and they conjured up the story saying he was in the car taking her to the ferry. he was never in the car, her death didn't become news until the next day, no one was even aware of the accident... and they falsely assumed that the biggest issue was the affair, and that telling the truth (that he walked back to the party) was a worse scandal. they also falsely believed that an "accident" would be digested easier, but the facts didn't line up with kennedy's story, and that's when it became a big scandal.

[@m.y.o.b.724]

@@tomitstube Well there's also a letter that is said to have surfaced some 50 years later. A woman named Betty supposedly helped a drunk Mary Jo Kopechne into the backseat of Kennedy's car. Betty herself went to sleep inside of the house. Ted Kennedy wasn't aware of Kopechne being in the car and left the party with another woman. When the crash occurred they both walked back to the party. Nobody noticed that Mary Jo was missing until the next morning when Betty woke up and told Kennedy about Kopechne being in his car. That's when he notified police. It's very sketchy that an autopsy was never performed.
