This is a movie I plan to see.

Ted’s insurance carrier paid them $141,000 but I heard the Kennedys paid the Kopechnes $50,000 as well. The Kopechnes refused to have her body exhumed for an autopsy although some blood was taken from her and she had been drinking alcohol.

I always wondered if she might have been pregnant by Ted. The house she shared with some female roommates on R Street was like a shrine to the Kennedys. Loaded with Kennedy memorabilia in china cabinets. They were literally Kennedy Groupies for Bobby especially. A couple worked for Bobby for free as volunteers if I recall correctly.
