    A new wrinkle...

    ...In a 50 year old unsolved death...
    According to the letter, in the hours that followed Ted and another female party guest went for a drive in his car, unaware that Kopechne was in the back. When the car went over the bridge, Ted and his passenger escaped and returned to the party — unaware of who they left behind.

    The letter went on to say that when Betty woke up the next morning, she was told Ted’s car had crashed and she asked about Kopechne. To her surprise, no one had been aware of Kopechne’s presence in the vehicle.

    Once Betty relayed her story, according to the letter, “…the Kennedy damage control machine kicked in and informed the shocked senator.”

    Maybe he had a drink or two, even wanted to get rid of her so not to tell what went on.

    and you won't either nor will you see it in the "credible beacons of all that is right and good" sources such as NPR, the NYT or the Wapo.

    Perhaps some questions would be answered if the transcript of the mysteriously “lost” official local inquest and Teddy’s testimony would be found. I wonder if Ted testified about this third female and not knowing Kopechne was in the back seat?

    Didn't Kennedy at one time say that he tried to save her but couldn't,? I could have sworn I read that back when I wasn't brain dead. I don't remember reading of a third female either, another part of the scam I guess, or the brain dead part, no telling.

    This was a guy who later, it is documented from Soviet files, approached the U.S.S.R. to help him become president. His word was worthless.
