Kayla Berridge said she was walking her usual 9-mile walk when she noticed one of her customers hadn’t received her mail for several days. The customer was a woman in her 80s, so the postal staff informed the police and asked for a welfare check.
“I just had a gut feeling and wanted to be more certain,” Berridge said. “Most people hold back if they’re not there, so when people get their mail every day, you start to notice their habits.”
