In a tale that unraveled at Borderland State Park in Massachusetts, the unfortunate victim of all this was Emma Tetewsky, a 31-year-old woman who is known to retreat to the woods in order to pray.
From Yahoo:
“About 6 p.m. Monday, Easton Police Department officers were dispatched to Borderland State Park after hikers called 911 and said they heard a woman screaming for help in a swamp-like area,” police said.
“Upon arrival, Easton officers heard Tetewsky but could not see her. Three officers waded 50 feet from the shore, through thick brush and swamp, to reach Tetewsky. It is believed that she may have been trapped at that location for at least three days.”
Tetewsky, 31, “was conscious and alert” as officers carried her out of the swamp, officials said.
She remains hospitalized with serious injuries but is expected to survive, officials said. Details of her injuries were not released.
Borderland State Park, about 30 miles south of Boston, is largely forested but includes bog, wooded swamps and shallow marshes, the state reports.
Tetewsky lives in Stoughton, northeast of the state park, and she does not own a car or have a cellphone, officials said.
Thank goodness this woman was found safe and sound. Had she taken even the slightest misstep in that treacherous mud, the outcome could have been entirely different
