One would think the Rich family would want justice for their murdered son, consequences be damned.

You would have thought Mary Jo Kopechne's family would have wanted justice for her too. Something made them decide to let her story fade out.

B-1 Bob Dornan talked about this.

The family was visited by high-up Catholic officials just after her death. They went quiet.

In the case of the Kopechnes it was a combination of money and lots of it with appeals from local pols and Kennedy owned churchmen not to harm ‘the Last Kennedy, the conservator of the Camelot Legacy’ and probably some hints that bad things might happen if they didn't quietly fade away. They did to a really expensive condo in Boca Raton.

For a long tiime, Kopechne’s parents trusted the claims by Kennedy representatives that the sole purpose of an autopsy would be to embarrass the Kopechne family and tarnish Mary Jo’s reputation by finding evidence of pregnancy or a use of birth control prohibited by Roman Catholic teaching. The Kopechnes eventually wised up and realized that they had been misled.

The death of Antonin Scalia, a sitting SCOTUS judge, had no investigation and the family “stopped” any autopsy.

It was a hit ordered by hussein to eliminate the leading Constitutionalist and get another communist on SCOTUS
