No, not Ted Perry. I'm talking about Ted Kennedy. It was 38 years ago today (July 18) that Ted Kennedy and Mary Jo Kopechne drove off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island in Martha's Vineyard. The car sank into the pond landing upside down. Ted managed to escape the car. He then claims to have tried to swim down and help Mary Jo a number of times. When that didn't work, he sat on the bank for a while trying to think of what to do next. He walked back to the party (where there was a phone) and brought a couple people back to try and help. When that didn't work, he decided to return to his hotel. But it was so late that the ferry had shut down for the night. So Ted swam across the 500 foot channel. It wasn't until the next morning that the car and Mary Jo's body were recovered and Ted finally spoke with police. No autopsy was performed and it was ruled and accidental drowning.
