GARLAND (CBSDFW.COM) - On a cold, rainy night in 2002, Mario McMillian stood shivering outside in downtown Garland. He had just been involved in a car accident.
"The car was totaled," said Asha Miles, McMillian's ex-wife. Miles says her former husband was standing outside while police cleaned up the accident. The other driver was taken away in an ambulance.
A Good Samaritan passing by saw McMillian and offered the only thing she had to keep him warm. It was a blanket that belonged to her adopted daughter and the only thing the young girl owned from her birth mother. The woman gave McMillian the Minnie Mouse blanket, telling him she didn't want to see him stand outside in the cold rain. But told him she had to have it back. She wrote her name and number on a slip of paper, before leaving him with the blanket.
"I don't know what happened to it," said Miles of the woman's phone number. "We moved, and it was this little shard of paper...I don't know what happened. I feel like maybe (her name) was Deborah or Diane. I can't remember."
Miles has been on a mission to find the blanket's owner.
"I posted on Craigslist page once in the lost and found section. I posted on my Facebook page and no one even shared it. I got two likes."
She reached out to CBS 11 to try to get the blanket back to the young lady it belongs to. She says her heart hurts everyday that the blanket is not with its rightful owner.
"Every month I take it out and wash it to make sure it still smells good and make sure nobody touches it."
