There are some spots where the island is less that 700 ft from the mainland...if my reading of the map is correct.
And he called his cousin to try and get him to take the blame
And Teddy was so grief stricken after this incident that he never touched liquor again
‘quickly cleaned up the house where they were partying’. LIKE WITH A CLOTH, ala Hillary. Cleaning runs in the Democrat family.
He got a free pass from being a kennedy, rich, and a democrat.
I doubt he could even swim 700 ft.
As bad as Carter was, it boggles the mind to think it could have actually been worse. At least Jimmy Carter was sober.
With alcoholic Kennedy, who knows who would have been the power behind the throne, or what catastrophes might have occurred.
You mean like Seth Rich's family?
You would think that someone who could swim a mile would be able to swim 20 feet to a partially submerged car and rescue the victim.
There used to be a great web site revealing the truth about this event called ytedk.com

Worthwhile.
If that were the case, there would have been no reason for all the made up stories. In fact, he probably wouldn't have known anything happened to her at all.
But I think you are close. I don't think he was driving either. But I think one of his pals, to whom he owed bigtime, was driving. Kennedy was the only one who had the necessary pull to get the body out of the State without an autopsy; and he agreed to pretend that he had been the driver. It was just an "accident" after all.

I agree; Carter people showed up at an early Kennedy rally during the 1980 primary sitting in the front row wearing scuba suits. Also, Teddy K. never forgave brother Billy Carter for quoting: “Kennedy can’t teach driver’s ed in Georgia but he thinks he is qualified for President.
He got away with murder. Period. Because of his family name and copious amounts of money.
I’ve always wondered how much the Kopechne family was paid to remain silent.
The theory was that Teddy got out a few hundred feet before the bridge and told her to drive back to the cottage; as it was a dark moonless night and he was probably out of it anyway, he was unawares that she had driven off the bridge (he knew the island, she didn’t and the bridge had no guardrails) until the next morning. The out of control partiers back at the cottage didn’t think anything when she didn’t return because they thought they had left together for a private “get together”.
Something very wrong here. I have been to Martha's Vineyard many times.
The ferry from the main part of the island (Edgartown) crosses a body of water out to Chappaquidick that is maybe 100 yards.
If Ted did indeed swim from the ferry slip back to the other side, it was no mile.
He would have had to walk on water to get back to Edgartown. Records apparently show lots of calls to his lawyer friends before 4 AM when he supposedly asked the hotel clerk for the time, obviously to establish an alibi.

Ted Kennedy at Chappaquiddick: another---
I think Kennedy was saved by the fact that this was the weekend of the first Moon landing. Virtually nobody knew or talked about Chappaquiddick until almost a week later.

We are so fortunate that neither he nor Madame became our President.
