Jack Olsen tells the 1969 story of United States Senator Ted Kennedy's tragic car accident over the Chappaquiddick bridge which led to the death of Mary Jo Kopechne. Kennedy and Kopechne left a party on Chappaquiddick Island, off the eastern end of Matha's Vinyard at 11:15 PM on July 18. He stated that his intent was to take Kopechne to a ferry landing and return to his hotel in Edgertown but that he made a wrong turn onto a dirt road leading to the one-lane bridge.
The accident made headline news and became scandalous because Kennedy left the crash site and failed to report the incident to the police until 10:00AM the following morning. Why didn't Kennedy immediately report the accident? Was he drunk? Was he trying to conceal an affair? Who else was involved?
The political fallout from the incident ultimately influenced Kennedy not to run for president. Olsen tracks down the incongruous statements made by others who were indirectly involved... and comes to his own potential conclusion.
