Sen. Ted Kennedy reportedly made 17 phone calls, before eventually reporting the car driven off the bridge to the police the following day. <ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7003193/Chappaquiddick-investigator-claims-warned-not-hard-questioning-Ted-Kennedy.html</ref> Kennedy never apologized to the victim's parents.<ref name="Parents">https://heavy.com/news/2019/05/mary-jo-kopechnes-parents/</ref> It remains unknown whether Kennedy was driving while intoxicated and/or had sex with the victim, whose parents were devout [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]]s. A 2017 critically acclaimed documentary movie entitled "Chappaquiddick" (called "The Senator" for its release in [[England]]), implied a relationship between Kennedy and the victim. Twenty years after the incident, the victim's father told a reporter that his daughter had not died in vain because it kept Ted Kennedy from ever becoming president.<ref name="Parents"/>

==Kennedy plane crash==
On July 16, 1999, [[John F. Kennedy Jr.]], son of President [[John F. Kennedy]], along with his wife Carolyn and sister-in-law Lauren Bessette, died in a mysterious plane crash into the ocean just short of Martha's Vineyard. The crash occurred within days of an NBC ''Dateline'' story hinting at a possible run for the US Senate in 2000. The ''[[Newsweek]]'' issue for the following Monday, which NBC ''Dateline'' had reported would announce JFK Jr's candidacy, was yanked from distributors and destroyed. Reporters Cindy Adams and Andrew Goldman documented the planting of [[fake news]] about JFK Jr. in the media in the days following his crash. First Lady [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]], a [[carpetbagger]] from [[Arkansas]], then ran unopposed in the 2000 Democratic primary for the US Senate seat from New York and was elected in the November general election.
