Here is the conspiracy and the sordid details.
1. This was a reunion for the “Boiler Room Girls”, part of RFK’s campaign team, 6 unmarried females under 28 and 6 married men all 30 and over.
2. Teddy and Mary Jo left party to go to a beach they had frequented many times before, a “cop” noticed their car and approached them, Teddy drove off.
3. At the Dyke bridge, went in water, where Teddy says he dived more than 10 times to retrieve Mary jo’s body.
4. Teddy then walked past 4 homes on his way to the party, where he got 2 “friends” to leave and go back to car to help. No one phoned police, and issue was discussed.
5. Back at car, discussion of “who” should alert authorities, both parties claimed the other said they would contact.
6. Teddy swims back to main island and hotel.
7. Teddy “wakes up” at 2:30 and contacts hotel manager about a loud party...(alibi).
8. Teddy “wakes up” at 7:30 and goes back to car discusses with “friends” who are peeved no one called police.
9. Teddy goes back to main island, calls police finally 10 hours later.
10. Car had already been found, diver found Mary Jo, without panties on...see previous point about being at beach, and Mary Jo was in a position to breath an air pocket in overturned car.
11. Autopsy proved Mary Jo dies of suffication not drowning, as she breathed the air pocket for a lengthy period of time.
How is this not a conspiracy??? Oh I forget, Teddy was the lion of the senate.
Excellent summary!
Only thing I’d add is that Ted, the poor guy supposedly suffering from shock and a concussion, managed to make a slew of phone calls, IIRC, between your points 6 and 9.
