The Kennedys: After Camelot Ep. 4 -- Teddy at Chappaquiddick
Just as Napoleon's decisive loss in the 1815 Battle of Waterloo marked General Bonaparte's final defeat and the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Chappaquiddick was Sen. Edward Kennedy's Waterloo; marking the end of his presidential chances and sounding the final death knell of Camelot.
56 years ago tonight, Ted's black Oldsmobile crashed off a small bridge on the tiny Massachusetts island of #Chappaquiddick and landed in the water.
The next morning, the body of Mary Jo Kopechne — a 28 year-old woman who had worked for Ted's late brother, Robert F. Kennedy — was found inside the mostly-submerged car.
What happened in those hours between midnight on July 18, 1969 and the morning of July 19 will forever remain a mystery.
All we do know is that Sen. #Kennedy failed to report the accident for more than 10 hours, and not until local authorities had already discovered the car in Poucha Pond with a dead girl inside.
#TedKennedy himself never offered a believable explanation for his actions that night. His own autobiography ("True Compass," published posthumously in 2009) gave the public no further details or closure. The truth about Chappaquiddick went with Teddy Kennedy to his grave.
In his book "The #Kennedys: After #Camelot" author J. Randy Tarraborelli expertly pieced together the puzzle from interviews with Ted Kennedy's closest advisors, family members, witnesses, and court records -- it's packed with details never before heard, until now.
