New Records Reveal the Mess RFK Jr. Left When He Dumped a Dead Bear in Central Park

At this point, it’s utile to analyse what precisely Kennedy said astir the incidental successful his August 2024 video, successful which helium is speaking with, for immoderate reason, Roseanne Barr.

“I was taking a radical of radical falconing up successful Goshen, New York up successful the Hudson Valley,” Kennedy says. (Goshen is successful Orange County, NY, location to a carnivore colonisation that Hynes theorized the cub whitethorn person belonged to.) “And past a pistillate successful a van successful beforehand of maine deed a carnivore and killed it.”

Kennedy claims that helium enactment the carnivore successful his van with a program to “skin the bear” and “put the nutrient successful my refrigerator” due to the fact that she was successful “very bully condition.”

“And you tin bash that successful New York State, you tin get a carnivore tag for a roadkill bear,” Kennedy adds.

He and his friends had a fantastic clip falconing, Kennedy says, and the time grew late. Eventually, helium recovered himself moving down for a travel “right backmost to the city” for meal astatine Peter Luger Steak House—presumably the archetypal determination successful Williamsburg, Brooklyn, alternatively than its Long Island location—and decided helium didn’t person capable clip to driblet disconnected the carnivore astatine his Westchester, NY home. So, the carnivore came to (apparently) Brooklyn. But erstwhile Kennedy’s meal besides ran long, helium realized helium had to spell to the airport.

“I wasn’t drinking, of course, but radical were drinking with maine who thought this was a bully idea,” Kennedy says, insisting for the 2nd clip that helium was perfectly not breaking immoderate laws that day. “I had an aged motorcycle successful my car that idiosyncratic had asked maine to get escaped of. I said, ‘Let's spell enactment the carnivore successful Central Park and we’ll marque it look similar helium got deed by a bike.’ It’d beryllium fun, comic for people.” He explains that determination had been “a series” of fatal bicycle accidents astir that time—there had been 2 successful caller months—which inspired the idea.

In the video, Kennedy claims that helium was amazed to aftermath up the adjacent greeting and find that the communicative of a dormant babe achromatic carnivore successful Central Park was large news—again, bears bash not unrecorded successful Central Park extracurricular of its zoo—and had prompted a large instrumentality enforcement response. What made Kennedy particularly anxious, helium claims, was a quality study that claimed the motorcycle was being sent to a forensic laboratory for fingerprinting.

As HellGate summarized soon aft Kennedy’s video was posted, “???????????”

Despite the caller documents that WIRED is capable to disclose, determination are lingering questions astir the decisions Kennedy made that time successful 2014. Let’s reappraisal the timeline: The carnivore was discovered connected the greeting of Monday, October 6, 2014. If Kennedy so disposed of the carnivore the nighttime before, that would person been Sunday, October 5, 2014.

Kennedy claims that helium recovered the carnivore successful the Hudson Valley country connected a roadworthy approaching Goshen, NY. Stopping successful Westchester connected his mode to Peter Luger would person added astir 35 to 70 minutes to the trip. Perhaps, adjacent if helium was gathering friends acquainted with his purported emotion for carnal carcasses (his girl erstwhile alleged helium decapitated a dormant whale with a chainsaw, strapped its caput to the apical of his minivan, and brought it home, though a consequent NOAA probe said her assertion was “unfounded”), helium would’ve been unacceptably late. But wherefore couldn’t Kennedy person conscionable abandoned his ngo to tegument and butcher this babe carnivore by placing it successful a wooded country anyplace betwixt Goshen and New York City, particularly knowing that helium had a formation later? Only 1 antheral knows the answer.
