There’s an alt theory that he wasn’t even driving the car when it went over the bridge.

Huh? So who was? Mary Jo? He still should not have abandoned her to suffocate.

Kennedy was driving. This is a theory that it was the only way he could put it behind him was to say he was driving if she was, etc.

Joe Gargan was Ted Kennedy’s boyhood friend and “fixer” for most of his adult life, the one who was at the bridge later with Kennedy before he jumped in the water and swam over to Edgartown.

During the heated discussion on the shore, where Kennedy was lying on his back in the sand, trying to figure out how to save his political skin, he jumped up and exclaimed “Why can’t we say she was driving” and was immediately squashed on that.

Joe Gargan was later ostracized and thrown under the bus by the Kennedy clan for speaking the truth on the events. (he only knew what happened from the point Kennedy appeared back at the cottage saying there had been an accident)

Yes.

The version we know doesn't answer three important questions (or at least doesn't answer them very well.) 1) Why did Mary Jo leave her purse at the party if Teddy was driving her home for the night. 2) Why was Kennedy seen the next morning laughing and talking with people and in no particular hurry like nothing ever happened? You would think he would at least be in a state of aggitation trying to get himself out of his situation. 3. Kennedys driver was at the party, so why didn't he drive them?

So, the other version says the two went off to "park" intending to come back later. They pulled off on a secluded road. The sherrif said that he saw a car that matched that description and approached but the car peeled off. So, it's possible that Kennedy ran away to avoid law enforcement and left Mary Jo with the car to go back to the party. He goes back to his hotel thinking she would just get back on her own. But, she had been drinking, it was dark and she didn't know where she was going. And in trying to get back to the party, drove off the bridge.

The next day Kennedy makes up the "I tried to save her" story, but it blew up in his face and he was stuck withn it.

You mean she was first drowned, then placed in the car which was pushed off the bridge?
