On July 18, 1969, Kopechne, who had worked on Sen. Robert F. Kennedy’s 1968 presidential bid, attended a reunion party with five of her fellow campaign workers, known as the “Boiler Room girls,” so named for their windowless office.
What happened next that night remains unclear, even decades later. And many believe the scandal — beginning with Ted’s 10-hour delay in reporting the deadly accident as well as the lack of an autopsy and his evasiveness about answering the most basic questions about the events surrounding Kopechne’s death — kept him from reaching the White House.

The Durham family.
The brutal slayings took place during a heavy snowstorm.
Their mysterious deaths remained unsolved for almost five decades.
But, in May of 2019, the Watauga County Sheriff’s Office received a call from the White County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia about “information that we recognized could be very important to the Durham case,” Watauga County Sheriff Len Hagaman said in a press release.
Shane Birt, the son of a Dixie Mafia member named Billy Sunday Birt, reached out to the White County Sheriff’s office for help researching a book about crimes in Georgia.

Joe Caldiero grew up in Brooklyn with a lesbian aunt and parents who didn’t blink when he told them, as a teen in the late 1960s, that he was gay.
“My mom and I were very tight,” Caldiero, now 66, tells PEOPLE. “She said she knew all along. She just figured I knew, too.”
But the wider world was far less open — and far more threatening — to the LGBTQ community in the decades before a 1969 police raid on a New York City bar called the Stonewall Inn sparked an uprising that birthed the modern gay rights movement.
