We have an exciting update to the mystery we brought you a couple weeks ago , when the team at Colossal Cave found a long lost wallet, only to learn the owner had died.
They set out to find her family, and we’re thrilled to share, we’ve managed to make that happen.
“I would just want them to know that one way or another, whether through thoughts or emotions or something physical like a wallet, their family member has lived on, and in multiple ways,” Dalton Carper said earlier in January. He’s the cave lead at Colossal Cave, who found the wallet belonging to Mancie Susan Love, deep inside.
He and his coworker Laure Sylvia searched her name, but without any relatives even listed in her obituary, we had to bring out the big guns.
One of our web gurus here at KGUN 9, Gerald Gay, did a deep dive online. He managed to find some possible relatives, and a bunch of phone numbers.
Claire Graham started calling them, and after several hitting disconnected lines, eventually Earl Love, Mancie’s brother-in-law in Rhode Island finally answered.
