First I heard that.
Interesting theory but not sure if I buy it.

I wonder how many people, peripherally involved with the Kennedys, have died. I wonder which family has the record on ‘associates deaths’? The Clintons or the Kennedys?
Doubtful, if you have seen the "bridge", it's basically wooden planks over a very short span which takes you to the beach. At the time there were no real side rails, just a 4x4 on the bottom which is why anyone could easily drive off if you weren't paying attention, or were going to fast, or were drunk at night.
Just look at the picture of the bridge on the book cover. It is a ten foot drop into the water, hardly a death drop. The autopsy report also stated she had water in her lungs. Ted Kennedy wasn’t seen wet because he waited 9 hours before calling the police.
Kennedy wasn't seen wet probably because he never was wet either from going off the bridge, or from swimming the channel to Edgartown. Calling the police has nothing to do with it. SFAIAA, none of the people at the house he supposedly went back to after his version of the accident ever said, let alone testified, that they saw him wet. Same thing with folks in Edgartown after his supposed swim.

This seems to happen in our nation's capital with distressing frequency.
What reason do you have to believe Clark Clifford's account? It is no secret that he was merely another shill for the Kennedy's
His word was designed to be the mouthpiece for what the fawning media would consume and then dutifully promulgate to the masses.
FReegards!
If you've seen the movie JAWS, the ferry scene with the "mayor" and the sheriff on a car ferry was crossing over to Chappy. It would take a pretty experienced swimmer to swim across. Certainly a loaded Ted Kennedy could never have swam across - another part of the story which is unbelievable.
While believable because of JFK’s sexual appetite, here is a piece I found on line that indicates that the woman in question, a Durie Malcolm, only dated JFK twice, and she denied that anything inappropriate took place between them.

I think I would let this one go, and concentrate on other JFK conquests such as Marilyn Monroe, Jean Seberg, Judith Campbell Exner and Ellen Rometsch, to name a mere four of his 1000+ scores.
First off it was midnight when he a ran the car off the bridge. The only people who saw Ted after the incident were Ray LaRosa, his friend Markham and cousin Gargan. You would have to look through their testimony but all three could easily lie either way. Ted’s swim to Edgartwon was at 1:30 am. and again it is very possible that no one would have seen him at that hour. Ted was placed on Chappaquiddick that night and he missed the last ferry. Only two ways to get off the island, swim or boat.
I know people that have made that swim——it’s very possible.
.
The ferry travels 500 feet or 167 yards. I have seen it in person and it looks even closer. An average swimmer would have no problem swimming across, a novice might struggle if there was a current but this is not like swimming to Alcatraz. At the time Ted swam across he wouldn’t have had a drink in over 2 hours and even still inebriated it still very plausible that he swam across.
This one was going no where with me. I did not know about Jean Seberg but I find the alleged affair with Ellen Rometsch, most interesting. And of course we will never know the truth about Ben Bradlee’s sister-in-law, Mary Pinchot Myer.
It's plausible, but I simply doubt he would attempt it at night and drunk. It is pretty desolate there at the time, I don't recall any public phones around that side that he might use. The story is that he walked from the bridge, I'll look at a map to see how far it is, swam across, passed out, then called lawyers. His B&B was just on the other side not far from Cheska's Restaurant.
Looks like maybe two miles from Dyke Pond to Ferry crossing.
