FACEBOOK is certainly handy for those “message in a bottle” mystery stories.
The social media network has helped track down the authors of a 30-year-old note found bobbing in a Mississippi river by a kayaker last week.
Angi Webb, owner of Pearl River Kayaks, posted photos of the message online as part of a quest to find who wrote it in 1989 – a pair of children then aged just four and two.
Tony and Chris Taylor, now in their thirties, saw a news story about the bottle and contacted Webb to tell her they wrote the note with their mum’s help.
They’ve been invited back to Pearl River this summer to get their long-lost epistle back.
