The subject line was, My cousin's story. A woman's Jeep had run off the road, she'd been missing for more than a day, and had been found with the help of complete strangers. This isn't some Internet thing-- this really happened to them yesterday, the text read. I think this is nothing short of a miracle and worth reporting.
Susan forwarded it to Hoover, who worked the phones to get police, the victim's mother and a co-worker.
By afternoon Mike wrote what he had, and Ted put out calls to try to get at least two of the four people who were involved in the rescue.
He got more sourcing on Saturday, and on the strength of Mike's original reporting and those new sources, wrote a strong narrative tale for Sunday 1A.
Check it out. Good stuff.
I read this the whole way through when I first got my Sunday paper and thought it was really well reported and written. Kept my attention!
