So, was the coroner in on the ruse, too? How did they get Mary Jo to drown and then insert her into the car?

I read the book on Kindle recently. In a nutshell, it offers the theory that a drunk Teddy got in an accident right after leaving the party (possibly going off the road and hitting some construction equipment) prior to the car going off the bridge. Mary Jo was either dead or dying as a result of that accident, and then the car went off the bridge with only her in it.

Interesting theory but not sure if I buy it.

I have not read the book but I have seen a few summaries. If I'm not mistaken, the authors theory is that ted had a car accident hitting a tree and mary joe hit her head and died. There was damage to the car that a fall in the water wouldn't explain.
