WINK News set off on a search to return a Purple Heart, and since our story first aired, we’ve seen a great number of people step forward, wanting to help.
The medal found itself in North Fort Myers eight years ago, stuffed in the cushions of a secondhand sofa. It belongs to Charles W. Crabbe, and a lot of you have emailed us to share information you thought might help find his family.
When Brenda Carlson reached out and said she wanted to get the word out about the Purple Heart in her possession, it was with the hope that someone would know the Crabbe family.
