The Senator said Mary Jo had been in the front seat; yet, ing
his emotion-packed narrative of the events following the alleged ‘#
unsuccessful rescue attempts, he declared his belief that she was |
in the back of the car. In.fact, as Zad Rust was also observant I'S -
enough to note in Teddy Pare (p.223) that’ is just where she was
found! (See bottom of page 13, herein.)
ANOMALY C (p. 6)
- This is most unusual. Note the stipulation that there was
nothing (to his knowledge) on the back seat at that particular
time. Why the qualification? To be sure, there must have been
times when another person or object had been on the back seat. As
with virtually every other survivor of_the party, Mr. Kennedy's
memory regarding seemingly inconsequential detail was often ur-
reliable, but not this time! He had evidently read Deputy Sneri.:
Christopher Look's account of having seen an autasobile strikincly
similar to the Oldsmobile at the junction. of Chappaquiddick Road,
referred to as "Main Street" by the Senator, and Dike Road (where
the Senator should have made a left turn to reach the ferry but
turned right instead) an hour and a half after the Senator said
he left the cottage.
— The Sheriff's accotnt was totally unacceptasle to Mr. Ken-
nedy, of course, as Mr. Look had been positive that this was the
same car he had seen puiiea rrom the pond the next morning, com: —
plete with the beginning letter and the first and last digit of
the license number he managed to note mentally-~ L?7?--- 7.
This is also the probable reason for Mr. Kennedy‘s answering per-
tinent questions in advance almost immediately following this
statement about not stopping, backing up or driving into Cemetery
Road. Sapient portions of Deputy Sheriff Look's testimony ran
thusly : 22
A: I noticed it was a dark car that passed in front of me.
Q: Where did it go when it passed in front of you?
: It went into a little dirt rcad maybe ten feet off .the
road that is commonly known, I believe, as Cemetery Road, and
it stopped and as it stopped I proceeded arouna the corner and
Zooked into the mirror of my car and noticed the car started
to back up.
A: When the automobile passed in front of me and also when
I was walking towards it, there appeared to be aman driving ahd
a woman in the front right-hand siGe and also either another a
person er an object of clothing, e@ handbag or something, sitting
on the back.
