We had a situation in northern Ca. where some guy went down a ravine,
survived, and managed to climb out. The interesting thing was he found
another car with a body in it at the bottom of this ravine that had
been there about 18 months.

Here's a convoluted one...

Begins roughly 3am-

EMS and sheriff respond to an MVA, car vs tree.
On arrival, find severely collapsed Toyota passenger
car, one very dead occupant. Extrication crew eventually
remove roof, doors, seats etc and the dead body is retrieved
(in parts). On the floor of the car we find a driver license
with the name Joe Blow, 17 year old local kid, same lic that
the vehicle query returns to.

Sheriff notifies Joe Blow's parents "very sorry to inform
you, your son was killed in an auto accident".

Mom cries, dad stomps and cusses, they cancel their
work day, take their other kids out of school, make
funeral arrangements etc. ID'ing the dead body was
extremely difficult due to the immense blunt trauma.
Parents took a look at the nearly decapitated, very
crushed body and said "Yes, that's our son".

About noon, Joe Blow (the alleged dead kid) phones home
and says "I'm sorry I got drunk last night and passed
out at the party". Billy took my car and I don't know
where he is.

Bottom line, it was Billy that was driving the car,
and died. Joe Blow's license was in the car but Joe
was back at the party passed out on the floor.

Parents went pretty ballistic.
