I don't remember reading that, or not.
But here is one of the best summaries of Ted's adventure with Mary Jo..................
He didn't call the Police until 9am the next morning; after breakfast.
Oh come on - he was with a single woman - driving off the main road to go to a deserted beach - had been at a party with 8 young single women and 8 married men - without their wives - and drives off a bridge where the young woman dies and doesnt call the authorities until enough time as gone by for an alcohol test to be meaningless... yeah, no one will ever know... right.
