The moment he saw the ring, he turned pale. It belonged to his wife, who had been missing, so police were called immediately.
Samantha showed officers exactly where she had found it, and they searched the beach for hours. Near the dunes, they finally found Mr. Dalton’s wife unconscious but still alive.
The ring became more than a lost piece of jewelry. Samantha’s simple decision to do the right thing helped lead rescuers to a missing woman and may have saved her life.
