Oct. 18 (UPI) -- An Indiana couple is trying to track down the author of a message in a bottle that traveled 250 miles down the Wabash River.

Amelia Wildeman said in a Facebook post that the note was found this week inside an old glass Pepsi bottle in the Wabash River at New Harmony.

The note, authored by a girl named Abbey Bradford, said the bottle was tossed into the river 250 miles away in West Lafayette, Ind., but it did not give a date.

The message contained a phone number which Wildeman said has apparently since been disconnected.
