If I’m not mistaken, to this day, the Kopechne family has never spoken of their daughter’s death publicly.
If I’m not mistaken, nobody who was at the party on Chappaquiddick (sp?) Island has ever spoken publicly either. There were at least a dozen people in that house at the party, when Ted and Mary Jo left. None of them has ever spoken publicly about that night.
I think it’s possible that silence was bought or intimidation or bribes, or something happened to cause everyone to never speak of that night.
If I recall from what I’ve read, the party was at a rented cottage on the island. Within hours, they cleaned up the house, and had everyone leave the island before any law enforcement investigation could happen.
I disagree totally with Ted politically. So it rubs me the wrong way that, as a term of endearment, he is sometimes called the “liberal lion” as if liberalism is such a good doctrine. I guess to the liberals in the MSM, the liberal lion is a positive term. To the rest of us, we think differently about what it means for him to be the liberal lion.
When the Senator leaves this earth, he will be endlessly touted as a major hero. I think I’ll be watching a movie that day.
Mr. and Mrs. Kopechne are now dead. However, you are correct about their silence.
As I recall there were 6 MARRIED men at the party and 6 UNMARRIED woman at the party. None of the married men’s wives knew about this particular party. Obviously they lied to their wives as to what they were doing on that Saturday night. Draw your own conclusions as to what was going on.
Possible? It’s a friggin’ no-brainer. It’s a known fact that the Kopechnes were paid off. Sure, The Hiccup drowned Maryjo by running the car into the water, but her family are the ones who sold her down the river.
