Description:
A young girl was killed by a neglectful United States Senator. The life of the girl could easily have been saved. Then the senator, because he was powerful, important and famous and a Kennedy, got away scot-free,
And on its surface, the
Chappaquiddick Incident (as it has infamously become known) was a
simple but tragic traffic accident. However, its political fallout
caused it to become the most speculated-upon car accident until Princess
Diana's fatal ride, some 28 years later: Was Kennedy drunk? Was he
trying to conceal an affair by deliberately killing Kopechne? Why did he
wait for so long before reporting the accident? And who else was
involved? Olsen tells the tale with as much detail as was made available

the accident (Kennedy himself, who described having the "sensation of
drowning" on live television a week later), Olsen tracks down the
incongruous statements made by others who were indirectly involved...
and comes to a potential conclusion which would be difficult to refute.
There is no legal evidence of this conclusion, of course, but his
alternate explanation of events turns much of the circumstantial
evidence into a logic-of-sorts.
