Scuba Diver Finds Rightful Owner of Wedding Ring After Exhaustive Internet Search
When 21-year-old Daniel Roark went scuba diving in Playa del Carmen,
Mexico, back in September, he expected to discover beautiful underwater
sights. He also discovered something else — a ring.
Daniel took to the Web to find its rightful owner, posting a photo of
the ring to his Facebook page, where it was shared more than 127,000
times. The search for the ring owner even got national news coverage.
But finding the person who the ring belonged to became practically a part-time job, with Daniel spending four to five hours a day pursuing leads, responding to messages, and following up on emails.
After more than 50 people falsely tried to claim the ring as theirs, Daniel received a Facebook message from a woman who said the ring belonged to her cousin. To confirm the claim, she sent a photo from the couple’s wedding. And there it was — the exact ring.
The couple, Jessica Garza-Castillo and Martin Castillo of the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, provided Daniel with a receipt from the jeweler and verified the inscription on the inside of the band. It turns out that hubby Martin lost the ring while the couple was scuba diving on their honeymoon in February 2013! Jessica told Daniel that she was upset when her husband lost the ring because she thought there was no way they would ever get it back.
This story is proof that anything is possible, especially with the help of Internet sleuths — also you may want to think twice about wearing your wedding rings in the ocean!
