A woman missing for over two weeks in the Makawao Forest Reserve on Maui, Hawaii, has miraculously been found alive, a family friend and rescuer confirmed to ABC News.

Amanda Eller had been missing for 16 days when she was found in good condition at about 5 p.m. local time.

"We found her in a stream bed, she was waving up at us while we were in the helicopter, and we got her out nice and safe," Chris Berquist, who was in the helicopter, told ABC News Radio late Friday. "She was not injured. She has a little bit of exposure from the sun, a little bit of sunburn. She lost her shoes a few days in. But no injuries."

Quoting the news article:

She suffered sunburn, a broken leg after falling 20 foot on the third day and lost her shoes during a flash flood four days into her ordeal in the thick forest. She survived by sleeping in a boar's den.

Does her story still stink?

Maybe that’s what she survived on. Are they edible?

I wouldn't know, but I hear the other boys in Barry's bathhouse thought so.

The reserve is 2000 acres (1/3 the size of O’Hare) and the whole thing is about an hours walk fro0m the Spa and 2 hours from the Ocean.

Agree. It is being spun as a great survival story. All over Facebook about how creative and brave she is. Water, warm climate and food all around - please. Don’t go hiking alone or at least file a “flight plan” with a responsible adult. With all the drone tech today it is very hard to believe that the the searchers couldn’t find her relatively fast.

FWIW I go out on at least one SAR a year here and the folks involved almost always broke the rules of letting someone know where you intend to go or deliberately don’t want to be found.

Kid was found relatively quickly once we started looking for him.
