A 65-year-old self-described "country boy" made news in rural MN. Looking out a window, he saw a girl making her way across his field. She turned out to be the girl whose face he'd seen online and on posters, a girl who had been kidnapped.
After 29 days of captivity, she had escaped that morning. He helped her and called the police. He not only helped her, but gave her the $7000 reward given to him for information leading to her return.
"What no one expected was the kindness and generosity that came straight from Earl’s heart today.," wrote Chief Wyffels [Alexandria MN] in a post on the department's Facebook page. "He believes that young lady that came running towards him that September day is the real hero and without hesitation, Earl handed the reward over to her, followed by a big hug. Thank you Earl, it is people like you that make this world a better place."
Sure is.
