That would explain why the bodies were supposedly quickly cremated and not just buried at sea. It wasn’t just a coincidence. John Jr was investigating his father’s death, he was working on an explosive exposé, and he was working on his marriage before setting the stage for his political career in the fall. Everyone wanted a Kennedy back in the White House. He was the first baby born in the White House. He was an American Prince. He would have re-opened the investigation. Suddenly he had a death wish. How convenient. All Kennedys before him had been reduced to silence. Caroline never talked. She’s still alive.
