I read somewhere that the Kennedy machine slimed them.
Kennedy prevented the accident from ever being fully investigated. The famous “inquest” never got off the ground, because his lawyers demanded the right to attend and question every witness. Of course, it made no sense that this demand stopped the inquest, except Kennedy influence.
Kennedy’s actions (leaving the scene, leaving her to die, showing up the next morning after a good night’s sleep),was despicable by any measure.
