This is my first vanity ever and likely my last but I have a question that some enterprising pajama journalist might investigate and answer. Why was there total silence from the Kopechne family after there daughters death?. There were no criminal charges against Teddy at the time , but there were never any civil procedings instigated either. Not a word from Mary Jo's family. Were they payed off? "Camelot" may have prevented it then but there is no reason it can't be investiagted now. Thoughts?
I think both of her parents have passed away.
With such good questions you ask, please do post vanity more often.
Not a legitimate question, and if so, why not?
I sure don't know and am looking forward to seeing if something besides an opinion gets posted.
I do know that they were from the age that preceded Oprah and Jerry Springer by two generations. In other words, people didn't air there personal grievance publicly back then. Silence on there part is therefore not a condemnation.
Other family though?
I remember when that happened, but was not as smart (skeptical) as I am today.
1. Was she carrying a child?
2. Was she carrying Kennedy’s child?
3. Was she murdered and then the drowning accident staged?
BA
there part >> their part
They may have been paid off; we may never know.
But we do know that there are people who were on that island, and at that fateful party, who have never, ever spoken out about the events of that night. At the time, the Kennedys cleaned out the rented house where the party was held, and got everybody off the island before the police could investigate anything. Somehow, these people have never spoken publicly about what happened. They also may have been paid off and/or intimidated by the Kennedys to keep silent.
I’m sure no one considered your question until this very moment. Worthy of its own thread, for sure.

I suspect the Kopechne’s were lied to, paid off, forced and/or tricked into signing nondisclosure agreements without understanding the consequences, and warned that the political/legal might of the Kennedy dynasty (or worse)would come down on them if they ever made a peep.
But in the tragic death of Ms. Kopechne, nobody can be bothered.
I imagine they were told to keep their mouths shut or else.

Some good history there.
The parents received $90,904 from Kennedy and $50,000 from his insurance policy.
That is an outstanding question, and I want to hear the answer to that one as much as you do.
Please, feel free to ask questions like this, in exactly this format again. Threads like this one have a way of coming in handy when you least expect it. It helps arm you with accurate talking points of your own that you can use to effectively sqaush BS with.
Well done, and fear no postings...
As far as the MSM is concerned.....we’re supposed to forget all about such things as Mary Jo.......AND 9/11.
