Ted Kennedy car crash scandal that killed Mary Jo Kopechne: Letter exposes new claims

<p>After 50 years, the Ted Kennedy Chappaquiddick incident has remained one of the biggest mysteries surrounding the Kennedy family.</p> <p>The car crash on the US island ended the life of 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne and derailed Ted Kennedy’s presidential chances.</p> <p>On the evening of July 18, 1969, the then US senator Kennedy hosted a party on the small island for the Boiler Room Girls, a group of six women who had worked on his brother Robert F. Kennedy’s presidential campaign the year before. One of the women was 28-year-old Kopechne.</p> <p>Despite extensive reports on the incident, details of the events of the night have remained shrouded. Kennedy reportedly left the party with Kopechne, even though she did not bring her purse or hotel room key with her. The two drove off in his 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont 88.</p> <p>Kennedy said the car went over the bridge into Poucha Pond after he made a wrong turn. While he managed to escape the sinking vehicle, Kopechne remained trapped and was later found dead in the morning.</p> <p><img style="width: 500px; height: 368.449px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7828778/kennedy-embed.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/6ea10144582044f594787fdf71a993a4" /><img style="width: 301.887px; height: 500px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7828803/kennedy-2-embed.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/0d363094141545378a703127593d6400" /></p> <p>But a letter to Kopechne’s surviving family has challenged this story.</p> <p>The letter, recently revealed by <a href="https://people.com/politics/ted-kennedy-chappaquiddick-car-accident-50-years-later/"><em>PEOPLE</em></a>’s Cover-Up podcast, came from a man who claimed to have met a woman who had attended the party the night Kopechne died.</p> <p>The woman, referred to as “Betty”, said Kopechne had had too much to drink at the event. Betty then brought Kopechne to Kennedy’s car to rest, and then went back to the cottage.</p> <p>The letter claimed that Kennedy and another female guest went for a drive in the car. When the sedan plunged into the water, Kennedy and the passenger survived and returned to the party, unaware that Kopechne had been in the vehicle all along.</p> <p>Betty shared the story, and the letter said that was when “…the Kennedy damage control machine kicked in and informed the shocked senator.”</p> <p>After receiving the letter in 2018, Kopechne’s cousin Georgetta Potoski said the full story might not yet be revealed. </p> <p>“I’m not convinced the mystery has been solved,” she told <em>PEOPLE</em>. </p> <p>“I know there are things that we do not know about what happened that night. The truth, even if it’s not what you want to hear, at least has some dignity around it.</p> <p>“I don’t think there will ever be justice for the loss of her life. [But] I think the truth would make our hearts rest easier.”</p> <p>A week after the incident, Kennedy pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of the accident and was given a two-month suspended sentence. Later on the same day, he gave a national broadcast statement in which he said, “I regard as indefensible the fact that I did not report the accident to the police immediately.”</p> <p>Kennedy, who was preparing for his presidential run, delayed his campaign until 1980. His run for the country’s top office was unsuccessful, but he continued to be re-elected as senator seven more times until his death in 2009.</p> <p>In his posthumously published memoir <em>True Compass</em>, Kennedy described the incident as “a horrible tragedy that haunts me every day of my life”.</p>

Inside Jackie Kennedy’s turbulent relationship with sister Lee Radziwill

<p>Lee Radziwill, who passed away on February 16, left incredible legacies as a socialite, interior designer, public relations executive and style icon, but most remember her as the sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.</p> <p>Despite her independent achievements, Lee still could not escape comparisons with her older sibling. Following Lee’s death at 85 years old on Friday, the <em><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/16/obituaries/lee-radziwill-dead.html" target="_blank">New York Times</a></em> published an obituary that described her as a woman who "made several attempts for professional recognition, but achieved only pale reflections of the spotlight of her sister".</p> <p>Their relationship has long been scrutinised, but most observers agreed that the two had a turbulent bond.</p> <p>"It was never sort of black and white," J. Randy Taraborrelli, biographer and author of <em>Jackie, Janet &amp; Lee,</em> told<em> <a rel="noopener" href="https://people.com/politics/jackie-kennedy-relationship-sister-lee-radziwill-photos/?did=342654-20190220&amp;utm_campaign=people-news_newsletter&amp;utm_source=people.com&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=022019&amp;cid=342654&amp;mid=18718959574" target="_blank">People</a></em>. </p> <p>"There were always shades of grey, and when you try to paint that relationship with a wide brushstroke it never works because there were times when they were very close."</p> <p>The 'competition' between the sisters began in childhood, when it became apparent to Lee that her parents were more inclined towards their oldest daughter.</p> <p>In her 2000 book <em>Happy Times</em>, Lee said their father, John Vernou Bouvier III "favoured Jackie … That was very clear to me, but I didn't resent it, because I understood he had reason to … she was not only named after him … but she actually looked almost exactly like him, which was a source of great pride to my father."</p> <p>Their mother, Janet Norton Lee, showed a similar preference. </p> <p>"My mother endlessly told me I was too fat, that I wasn't a patch on my sister," Lee told <em><a rel="noopener" href="https://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/02/07/the-real-lee-radziwill/" target="_blank">T: The New York Times Magazine</a> </em>in 2013. </p> <p>"It wasn't much fun growing up with her and her almost irrational social climbing in that huge house of my dull stepfather Hughdie Auchincloss in Washington."</p> <p>In their early adulthood, Lee beat Jackie to the altar when she married publishing scion Michael Temple Canfield at the age of 20. However, within two months of Lee's marriage, Jackie upstaged her by getting engaged to John F Kennedy, then a senator-to-be from an established and wealthy family.</p> <p>Taraborrelli said Kennedy’s election to presidency in 1960 marked a new stage in the sibling rivalry. </p> <p>"Who's going to be more popular? Who's going to be in more magazines? All of that suddenly came to a crashing halt when Jackie became first lady … Lee [said], 'How can I compete with that?' How do you compete with that?"</p> <p>The sisters' cousin John H Davies wrote in the 1969 book <em>The Bouviers</em> that Jackie’s new connection to the White House exacerbated Lee’s identity crisis as her sister. </p> <p>"Although she was abundantly gifted herself … she had often been obscured by the shadow of her sister’s prominence, and now that shadow threatened to eclipse her identity," Davies wrote.</p> <p>Taraborrelli said Lee "had so defined herself as being in competition with Jackie that when finally there was no competition, she didn’t even know who she was. Then that marked a new era for Lee Radziwill. That's when she decided, 'I've got to do something.'"</p> <p>Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Lee made new friends and ventured into new fields on her own, including acting and interior decorating.</p> <p>However, within weeks of President JFK’s death in 1963, Lee was also the one who stayed as a pillar of support for her grieving sister. According to Jackie’s secret service agent Clint Hill, Lee did "everything she could to support her sister" and “remained with us pretty much during that entire time until Mrs Kennedy and the children moved out of the White House".</p> <p>"It's just the most ludicrous talk in the world that we’re rivals," Lee told <em><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a26414276/lee-radziwill-support-jackie-kennedy-jfk-assassination/" target="_blank">People</a></em> in 1976. "We're exceptionally close and always have been. We’re together very often. In fact, endlessly."</p> <p>According to <em><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2016/04/jackie-kennedy-lee-radziwill-sisterhood" target="_blank">Vanity Fair</a></em>,<em> </em>when Jackie fell ill with cancer in 1994, Lee rushed to her side. Lee was also present the day before Jackie passed, when she was still in coma.</p> <p>However, Jackie still left Lee out of her will. She granted her holdings and bequests for her children, family and friends while giving nothing for Lee. Jackie reportedly wrote, "I have made no provision in this, my will, for my sister, Lee B. Radziwill, for whom I have great affection, because I have already done so during my lifetime."</p> <p>Taraborrelli said of the sisters: "They were rivals, but also confidantes. In a way, they could understand each other in a way no one else could."</p>

The Kennedy scandal the world forgot about

<p>After Bobby Kennedy was assassinated at the Ambassador Hotel in 1968, Joseph Kennedy only had one son left: Ted.</p> <p>Senator Ted Kennedy had many heavy expectations to carry and after one fatal car crash on Chappaquiddick Island in 1969, protecting his presidential prospects was key.</p> <p>Known as the Chappaquiddick incident, the car Ted was driving flipped off a bridge and crashed into water – which killed his 28-year-old passenger Mary Jo Kopechne, who was trapped in the fully-submerged vehicle.</p> <p>The incident is marked by inconsistencies, cover-ups and smoke screens surrounding the events that occurred before and after the crash.</p> <p>Now, the first non-documentary film based on the event <em>Chappaquiddick</em> has been released.</p> <p>Although it is the Kennedy scandal that is usually forgotten, the incident was believed to have influenced Ted’s decision not to campaign for President in 1972 and 1976.

Why Bobby Kennedy’s widow Ethel still stands by her man

<p>Ethel Kennedy celebrates her 90th birthday today. This year also marks 50 years since her husband Robert, better known as Bobby, died. But in the decades that have followed his death, there is no doubt Ethel is as wedded to the Kennedy clan as ever.</p> <p>The year was 1945 when a then Ethel Skakel and her friend Jean Kennedy went on a skiing holiday to Mont Tremblant Resort in Quebec. Little did Ethel know it was a trip that would change the course of her life.</p> <p><img width="411" height="506" src="https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/a82dbca34660dcd9ccf8cf2bb30e1da0?width=650" class="tge-imagecaption_img" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"/></p> <p>When Jean introduced Ethel to her brother, he was standing in front of a fireplace. She would later reveal her first impression of him, recalling in a documentary: “I walked in the door and turned and saw him, and I thought, ‘whoa’.”</p> <p>They married in 1950 and would go on to have 11 children. But it was in 1960 when life would take another turn. John was elected president and he appointed Bobby as US Attorney-General.</p> <p><img width="513" height="289" src="https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/73307fdf4800d8c9a8ee2bbb1a709127?width=1024" alt="Robert Kennedy (right) with wife Ethel and children Kathleen, 15, Joseph, 14, Robert Jr, 13, David, 11, Mary, 10, Michael, 8, Kerry, 7, and Christopher, 3, at home Virginia in 1966." class="tge-imagecaption_img" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"/></p> <p>When Bobby went after organised crime, Ethel lived in constant fear of mob reprisals. The tension was only relieved when the couple went on overseas trips as representatives of the president.</p> <p>But in November 1963, Ethel answered a phone call from J. Edgar Hoover. He informed Bobby that John had been assassinated.</p> <p>Bobby considered running for vice president or even president in the 1964 election, but eventually decided to run for the US Senate for the seat of New York. He won.</p> <p>In June 1968 Bobby was assassinated in Los Angeles while campaigning for the Democratic nomination for the presidency. Ethel was pregnant with their 11th child at the time.</p> <p>She coped with life after Bobby by focusing on looking after her large family. Vowing never to marry again, she also threw herself into keeping her husband’s legacy alive.</p> <p><img width="463" height="347" src="https://cdn.newsapi.com.au/image/v1/ed2c66501891f3bba871a706a0a9a446?width=1024" class="tge-imagecaption_img" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"/></p> <p>In 1968 she established the Robert F. Kennedy Centre for Justice and Human Rights. She spent much of her time doing work to raise money for its many charitable causes.</p> <p>But tragedy continued to follow her – two of her sons died in the intervening years. After Rose, the matriarch of the Kennedy clan, died, Ethel took on more of that role. She was prominent among the mourners at the funerals of Jack’s son John F. Kennedy Jr in 1999 and Bobby’s brother Ted Kennedy in 2009.</p> <p>Ethel also took on more of a political role, endorsing Barack Obama at the 2008 election. In 2014 Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her tireless efforts in her many social justice causes.</p> <p>The Kennedy name lives on in politics with her grandson, Joe Kennedy III, currently serving as the US representative from Massachusetts 4th District.</p>

Marilyn Monroe predicted her own death

<p>Few deaths have struck Hollywood quite as hard as Marilyn Monroe’s. The blonde bombshell death by overdose in 1962 was officially ruled as suicide, but many believe there to be more to the story.</p> <p>Now, a new biography <em>Dinner with DiMaggio: Memories of an American Hero</em> might’ve just confirmed it, claiming Monroe told husband Joe DiMaggio she knew eventually someone would “do her in.” That someone, DiMaggio believed, was one of the Kennedys.</p> <p>“I always knew who killed her, but I didn't want to start a revolution in this country,” DiMaggio allegedly told author Dr Rock Positano. “I'll go to the grave regretting and blaming myself for what happened to her.”</p> <p>“The whole lot of Kennedys were lady-killers, and they always got away with it. They'll be getting away with it a hundred years from now.”</p> <p>DiMaggio and Monroe, who married in January 1954, announced their divorce just nine months later, with the latter citing the famed baseball player’s “mental cruelty” as the cause of their split. However, the book reveals the issue of children may have been the main force driving them to divorce.</p> <p>“Joe wanted kids with Marilyn, and Marilyn wanted to reward him with a family,” the book reads. “In Italian terms, sex meant kids. Great sex meant great kids. Marilyn gave goddess sex, but no kids.”</p> <p>Despite their split, DiMaggio never stopped caring for Monroe. “He felt that she was very vulnerable and very sweet and that it was very easy for people to take advantage of her.”</p> <p>Until his death in 1999, DiMaggio reportedly sent roses to Monroe’s grave every week, and it’s believed his dying words were, “I’ll finally get to see Marilyn.”</p>

What happened the night JFK Jr and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy died

<p>In an upcoming investigative series “How It Really Happened: JFK Jr's Tragic Final Flight,” Carole Radziwill opens up about the plane crash that killed her best friend Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and her cousin-in-law John F Kennedy Jr.</p> <p>In the two-hour TV special, Carole will detail her final phone call with Carolyn. Carole not only spoke to the couple just before they died but she was supposed to meet the pair when they landed.  </p> <p>"Carolyn called me from the plane right before they were taking off," Carole says in a teaser clip. "And I think it was probably a little bit after eight o' clock. I don't remember anything really important from that conversation. I didn't certainly think it would be the last time I would speak to my friend. I remember at the end she said, you know, 'I love you.' And for some reason, I didn't say I love you back. And that always stuck with me. And then she said 'I'll call you when we land.' And then that was the last I ever heard from her."</p> <p>Carol will also reveal how she reacted when she found out her friends had not made it to Martha's Vineyard.</p> <p>"I spent 15 years as a journalist and producer at ABC News, and I thought, 'OK, I need to figure out this story and solve it somehow.

Jackie Kennedy’s sister reveals details of tumultuous relationship with former First Lady

<p>The Bouvier sisters always seemed to live a glamourous life, but in a new tell-all interview with <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2016/04/jackie-kennedy-lee-radziwill-sisterhood" target="_blank"><em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Vanity Fair</span></strong></em></a>, Lee Radziwill has revealed she and former First Lady Jackie Kennedy (later Onassis) never had the closest sisterhood bond.</p> <p>Lee has told of a rivalry with her older sister, claiming she always felt pressure to live up to her sister’s many accomplishments. They also often competed for the same men – in particular, Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, to whom Radziwill became close following the breakup of her marriage to Prince Stanislaw Radziwill. When asked in an interview with Larry King if she had ever considered marrying Onassis herself, she replied, “Who didn’t?”</p> <p>The 83-year-old also revealed she resented certain restrictions placed upon her when Jackie became First Lady. “There were so many things I couldn't do when my brother-in-law was president,” she said. She added that after the death of John F. Kennedy she thought, “Finally, I'm free.”</p> <p>After Jackie’s death in 1994 it was reported that she left her sister out of her will, leaving “not even a memento” to Lee, an act which “deeply hurt” her.</p> <p><strong>Related links:</strong></p> <p><a href="/news/news/2016/03/jackie-kennedy-granddaughter-looks-just-like-her/"><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Jackie Kennedy’s granddaughter looks just like her</span></em></strong></a></p> <p><a href="/news/news/2016/04/prince-harry-response-when-asked-if-he-will-be-king/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Prince Harry’s perfect response when asked if he’ll ever be king</strong></em></span></a></p> <p><a href="/news/news/2016/04/judy-garland-barbra-streisand-duet/"><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Unearthed Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand duet</span></em></strong></a></p>
