Yes, it’s a real Scooby-Doo Mystery…

Tell us more, NBC News, about the “mysterious” car crash that killed Mary Jo Kopechne:

Forty-nine years after the mysterious car crash in Chappaquiddick, Massachusetts, that left a woman drowned in a pond and nearly sank the political career of Sen. Ted Kennedy, Hollywood is plumbing the murky depths of the scandal for the first time. https://t.co/kp8h4Qb8aI

Ted Kennedy drove off a bridge and left Mary Jo Kopechne to die. There is nothing mysterious about any of that. https://t.co/aIOFw7ppnY

Hey @NBC, you spelled "Drunk married man has accident and leaves his mistress to die" wrong. https://t.co/zjL1mU0o3z

Mysterious?!? Kennedy was drunk. Drove off the bridge. Left his female passenger to die as he escaped to safety. Didn't tell authorities for 10 hours. Exactly which questions remain unanswered for you?!? ?

And even this isn’t very mysterious:

The most "mysterious" aspect of the car crash was that it took 50 years for Democrats like those at @NBCNews to cover it. https://t.co/n7fnBUnSyh

“Nearly sunk,” like this?
