Board Description
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. aka JFK jr (November 25, 1960 – July 16, 1999)
Murder. In 1995 he launched George magazine, using his political and celebrity clout to publicize it. Kennedy died in the crash of a small plane he was piloting, along with his wife Carolyn Bessette, and her elder sister Lauren, on their way to a family wedding on Martha's Vineyard. On July 16, 1999, Kennedy piloted a Piper Saratoga II HP carrying his wife, Carolyn, and her sister, Lauren Bessette, to attend the wedding of his cousin, Rory Kennedy at Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. He had purchased the plane on April 28, 1999, from Air Bound Aviation.[62] Carolyn and Lauren were in the second row of seats.[63] Kennedy had checked in with the FAA tower at the Martha's Vineyard Airport, but when the plane failed to arrive, the three were reported missing.[64]

Officials were not optimistic about finding survivors after debris from the aircraft were recovered in the Atlantic Ocean, as well as a black suitcase that belonged to Bessette.[65] President Clinton gave his support to the Kennedy family during the search for the three.[65]

On July 18, a Coast Guard admiral declared an end to hope that Kennedy, his wife and her sister could be found alive. On July 19, the fragments of Kennedy's plane were found by the NOAA vessel Rude using side-scan sonar. The next day, navy divers were allowed to descend into the 52 °F (11 °C) water. The divers found part of the shattered plane strewn over a broad area of seabed 120 feet (37 m) below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. The search ended in the late afternoon of July 21, when the three bodies were recovered from the ocean floor by Navy divers, and taken by motorcade to the county medical examiner's office. The discovery was made from high-resolution images of the ocean bottom. Divers found Carolyn and Lauren's bodies near the twisted and broken fuselage while Kennedy's body was still strapped into the pilot's seat. Admiral Admiral Richard M. Larrabee of the Coast Guard said that all three bodies were "near and under" the fuselage, still strapped in.
