Boyle was disturbed as well by the fact that Kennedy told only his chauffeur, Jack Crimmins, that he was leaving the party with Mary Jo, while the young woman herself told no one. Also, Mary Jo left her purse behind when she departed with Kennedy and failed to ask her roommate for the key to their motel room...
Time Difference. According to the eleven surviving participants, the party was sedate. They said that there was no heavy drinking, but a good deal of casual ambling around the cottage.

In a televised act of contrition a week after Chappaquiddick, the Senator was uncertain as to the length of time he spent trying to rescue Mary Jo and vague as to how long it took him to make his way back to the cottage where his friends were partying. By the time of the inquest, his memory had improved considerably.
