“Lost No More: How a Drone’s Unexpected Discovery Changed the Search for the Missing Woman Forever”
Amazingly, this tent’s zipper opened up, and a face popped out.
A Head Popped Out Of The Tent
Sergeant Cannon told Fox 13, “As they’re looking at this, the zipper of the tent unzipped, and this woman who we had identified the previous year in November and December of last year sticks her head out.”
They had found the missing woman, whose name had not been released to the public.
She Foraged For Food And Had A Water Source
According to the Utah County Sheriff’s Office, “This woman… had lost a significant amount of weight and was weak, but she was apparently also resourceful.”
It looked as though she had rationed the food she brought along, as well as foraged for grass and moss to eat. There was even a river close by for water.
They Brought Her To A Hospital
After seeing the woman in her makeshift home, authorities believed she knew what she was doing. She purposefully left her car behind to live in Diamond Canyon.
Even so, the deputies were not going to leave her there and decided to bring the 47-year-old to Utah Valley Hospital for a mental health evaluation.
After Nearly Six Months In The Wilderness, She’s A Survivor
During an interview, Sergeant Cannon said, ‘”I have to be honest, we fully expected we wouldn’t find anybody related to that alive up here given how long it had been… In situations like that, we often find somebody after they passed away.”
