...credibility this part of his story carries. When the car was brought to the surface the next morning, a purse belonging to Rosemary Keough, Edward Kennedy's secretary, was found. This led to all kinds of speculation that Miss Keough might have been in the car along with Mary Jo. In fact, she had used the car earlier in the day to pick up a radio for the party and had forgotten the pocketbook in the automobile...
...second explanation, he said that when he reached the cottage, he talked to Gargan and Paul Markham, a former U.S. attorney for Massachusetts, and took them back to the bridge. Both of his friends then dived into the water, Kennedy said on TV, but failed to find Mary Jo. "All kinds of scrambled thoughts" went through his mind, said Kennedy, including the notion that perhaps the event had not happened at all, or, on the other hand, perhaps "some awful curse did actually hang over all the Kennedys."

Thus, they might have chosen to risk...
...telegrams charging that Kennedy was not receiving the same scrutiny anyone else might have, Arena heatedly said to newsmen: "Let me tell you?he is being treated the same as everyone else." This hardly seems to have been the case. According to John Farrar, the diver who retrieved Mary Jo's body the next morning after an islander had reported the submerged car and after Arena had himself made an unsuccessful attempt to recover the body, the chief was informed that Kennedy was waiting for him back at Edgartown. By this time Arena knew that it was Kennedy...
