The truth behind Ted Kennedy's fateful crash into Poucha Pond.



“My friend Mary Jo just happened to be in the wrong car at the wrong time with the wrong people.”
—Rosemary Keough, the second passenger



One fateful night in Massachusetts, Sen. Ted Kennedy was involved in a fatal crash after driving his car from a party on Martha’s Vineyard. After launching his Oldsmobile 88 across Dike Bridge and into Poucha Pond, Kennedy escaped the submerged car and headed back to Edgartown. Why didn't he save the drowning woman in the rear seat of the car? More importantly, why was Mary Jo Kopechne in the rear seat if the two were traveling together? Suspicion and intrigue have clouded the public's opinion of Kennedy and his involvement with this “crime” for years, but the truth, as revealed here, takes all of the evidence into account and presents a clear explanation of the death at Chappaquiddick.
