Not one detail in the story how she survived , ate drank, survived hypothermia.( it gets down to the 20's at night now) and managed to get lost in a busy open park.Not even taken to a hospital which is the standard procedure for evaluation. No pics or interviews when she was "found" by a toast tip.

The story may end up not being what it seems.


Yup, something does not seem right here.

Yep. She didn't spend 12 days in the outdoors, that's for sure. She probably went on a bender with some friends.



I heard there was a story circulating through the SAR (Search and Rescue) community that she “had fallen and hit her head, causing a concussion and other injuries, and then stayed put close to a stream so she had water to drink until someone found her.” This was passed along by my neighbor who is one of the heads of the Dade County SAR Team here who gets deployed to all sorts of disasters to render aid. I told him, after about a day of that crap, I would have been walking out, concussion or not. The story seems highly unlikely as does the entire “experience” this woman had. The only thing I’ve heard which makes any sense here (assuming her actions were not intentional to help facilitate fraudulent go fund me account payments), is that she had some type of mental breakdown or mental illness, and took off out to the wild to intentionally die.

I’d really love to hear the real story.
