A remarkable rescue operation ended in joy as a missing woman was found alive in Massachusetts after some days.
Emma Tetewsky, 31, had been reported missing for more than a week when hikers heard her cries for help in Borderland State Park. She was discovered trapped in mud, unable to move, and had been in that dire situation for several days.
“It’s nothing short of a miracle that she’s alive,” said Easton Police Chief Keith Boone, one of the officers involved in the heroic rescue.
Emma Tetewsky was last seen just outside the park, and her family alerted authorities when they couldn’t contact her. Without a car and her cellphone missing, it was suspected she might still be in the area. Her ordeal came to an end when attentive hikers heard her cries and promptly alerted the police.
“We heard faint shouts for help coming from the swamp-like area,” said one of the hikers. “We knew we had to do something, so we immediately called for help.”
The rescue team, including officers from the Stoughton and Easton Police Departments, arrived at the scene and faced challenging conditions. Thick brush and swampy terrain initially made it difficult for them to reach Tetewsky. However, they perse-vered and waded through the treacherous landscape to get to her.—AFP
