HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — Marsha Witherspoon was headed to breakfast after dropping her granddaughter at daycare when something caught her eye along Brittles Lane and Farrand Street in Henrico County.
“I just saw some papers in the ground, in the street. So I kept driving a little bit, and I said, Wait, that’s mail,” Witherspoon said.
She turned around and discovered a trail of scattered mail that stretched nearly a quarter mile.
“Wow, that could be my mail. In my head, I’m thinking that could be something I’m looking for,” she said.
The envelopes were addressed to people across the state—from Henrico to Fredericksburg, Farmville, even Appomattox.
“The mail was everywhere, coming from everywhere,” Witherspoon said. “It was so much mail, it felt like we was never going to finish. It was just so much.”
