The hunt for the "angels" picked up speed once it started to spread on social media.

"Somebody posted, their friend posted and this other person picked it up, and one of their friends said 'I know those people and they're not on Facebook, but I can get a hold of them,'" said Jeri.

"It was just weird. You know, they talk about the world, how we're just six degrees apart, and I'm starting to believe it. It didn't take long at all."

MonleyandMethothad long wondered what happened to the Hamiltons after their horrifying accident, said Jeri.

"She said she had really racked her brain to come up with ways to figure out who we were. So they wanted to contact us too, so it was pretty good, it was mutual," she said.

"We had a great conversation. It's like we're lifelong friends. It was awesome."
