Eight months later, a fisherman spotted it in the marina less than a mile away. The chest was full of sentimental memories, like the hand-made backpack Lauren's mother gave her for her first day of kindergarten.
"She also has a lot of artwork. She's very artistic from when she was a child and obviously this will be sentimental," said Savage. "It's a Valentine's card from her mom."
Viewers who saw our story and read about it on our website helped the marina get in contact with Savage.
